Trip de Bouffe

Loved the checkh el mehche. The eggplant was so soft and juicy, and still in a good shape. It goes really well with rice. The feuillete aux epinards was also really good, but lacked a bit of flavor in my opinion. I like how all the meal is balanced with mainly vegetables and small amount of meat (or not at all for some vege options). The food tastes like healthy home made food, not greasy at all.
The small snacks were a bit disappointing. The falafel was too salty… it felt like I bite into a ball of of spices. The cheese sticks and the chicken sticks are the best. The small pizzas were alright. By the way, there is no tax if you buy in dozen and you can mix all the snacks! :)
The staffs were friendly and the place seemed really cozy, almost like you walked in someone’s home. There was even a video projected into the white wall, which was pretty cool.

This is one of my favourite take-​out places. I usually just grab a few to-​go salads (I don’t know what they do to the lima beans and that bulgur + tomato — soooo good!) but their hot meals are really good too. Love that fish and rice combo.

What I like to do is buy a bag of pitas, some hummus, some quinoa salad, some pickled turnips, some labneh and some taboule, then just mix all that shit together in 5 sandwiches. Sometimes I get crazy and order the chicken and rice, and pop it in the mix. They also have amazing made to order sandwiches in the back if the former sounds like too much work.

I’ve been going there occasionally for about a couple of years. The food quality is good: very tasty.
It used to be a very good deal, but lately (2016) they’ve become very stingy and cheap with the portion sizes. I was there the other day and they asked me if I wanted rice with the entrée from the buffet. I said yes, and they then put about four tablespoons of rice on the plate. I hate it when a restaurant gets stingy and enacts the «portion control policy» with something as cheap as rice! It’s all of five cents…

It’s like a mini «Adonis» supermarket with more finesse. Beautifully prepared lebanese appetizers and food. I don’t see the link between the name of the place and Lebanon… It is confusing but hey surprise! It has baba ganoush and garlic sauce instead of imported ketchup or fancy old dry pasta. Great to have on the Plateau.

As I’m walking on st denis hungry :) I saw trip de bouf on the other side of the street it’s said Boulangerie libanaise. As soon as I came in in was taking by a beautiful smell that reminded of home, I knew this was going to be an epic food experience and it was.
They don’t play around here :) it’s legit.

I dropped by here today. I’ve been coming to Trip de Bouffer for the past two years and every single time the service was amazing and the food has been consistently unreal. I’m a bit picky with mMiddle Eastern food since I grew up eating it from the best chef ever: my mom :). But the food here is pretty close to perfect.
Recommended: I absolutely love their veggie kebbe, mouhamara, the veggie pizza, chicken rolls (soo good!), and my all time favourite stuffed veggie vine leaves!
As for prices, super cheap. The food is so filling. Everything is approximately a $ 1 and you get a deal if you get ½ a dozen etc. nothing expensive, well worth the great quality of food.

Being middle eastern myself I have to say this is top notch Arabic food. It feels as if my own grandmother spent all day slaving in the kitchen whenever I eat here. The grape leaves are incredible, especially the vege ones and the kibbeh is scrumptious. I always get their spreads, the mhamara is my personal favourite.
The staff, no matter who it is, is always so sweet and hard working. The décor is awesome with hints of Lebanese originals.
I truly love this place, it is perfect and I will continue to come here again and again.

Super bon libanais à emporter. Tout à l’air délicieux… et tout l’est ! Il y a tellement de choix que je teste quelque chose de différent à chaque fois et je n’ai pour le moment jamais été déçu. Le service est adorable et compétent. Une cantine pour moi qui travaille dans le quartier.

Fresh and tasty Libanese sandwiches, salads, warm dishes, baklava, etc. It’s a great place to get a lunch to go (they have pre-​packed items if you are in a rush, but it’s not that long either for them to prepare you a sandwich). I have always been able to find a place to sit down and eat there, even there are not that many tables. Staff is really nice. It’s a spot that I visit on a regular basis, just about every week, and they always have a decent number of customers, which is a good sign, too!

Endroit parfait pour acheter des sauces à tremper ou à tartiner pour des apéro dinatoires. La meilleure testée à ce jour est aux épinards, un régal!
Pas encore testé les autres plats cuisinés mais tout ce qui est présenté au comptoir donne très envie.

I am an expert at Lebanese food (not at modesty though) and I have to say that I really liked this place. Maybe the second best lebanese food that I ever had in Montréal. However, it is not a restaurant so I would recommend it for take-​out. The staff is also very friendly.

Definitely some of the best food served on Mont Royal. The staff is very nice too which is always a plus. Love their meat lasagna, the spaghetti pasta and the salmon pie. They also have these delicious mozzarella and beef sticks for snacks. The prices are great too.

Great little shop filled with delicious food. My girlfriend and I have our lunch there almost every single day.

Once you’ve eaten the pitas from this place, you’ll never want to eat another grocery store pita again. You know they are made without loads of preservatives, because they go stale after only a few days, but with pitas this good its rare they will long enough to get to that point (stick ‘em in the freezer if you can’t eat them all in a day or two). And a trip to Trip de bouffe means the opportunity to stock up on dips and salads, and that’s never a bad thing. I’m in love.

Sometimes you just feel like a hot home-​cooked meal. But there is nothing in the fridge or you really can’t be stuffed cooking. This would be the moment where you leg it down to Trip de Bouffe. They are serving up hot, ready-​to-​devour home-​cooked meals, as well as salads, sweets, coffee, bread; anything you could ever want really. They also sell refrigerated dishes and salads so if you premeditate getting into the same snitch again you can always grab one of those on your way out to put in the freezer.
I wish Trip was a bit closer to my apartment though, it’s delicious and inexpensive which makes it a place I could easily wind up at every other day.

Great little spot. Finally a little takeout Lebanese place in the Plateau. Everything I’ve had so far was great.

Quand j’ai su qu’il y avait maintenant un petit marché libanais sur Mont-​Royal, mon coeur a fait un bond dans ma poitrine. Youpi. Plus besoin de prendre 3 autobus pour aller au Adonis ou attendre après mes parents. Quand je m’y suis rendue pour la première fois, j’étais sous le charme de tous les délices qu’ils avaient! Mais attention, comme le dit le dicton, l’habit né fait pas le moine et je n’ai pas été satisfaite de ma sélection chez Trip de Bouffe.
Tout d’abord, oubliez les feuilles de vigne farcies. Elles sont pas assez cuites. C’est supposé fondre dans la bouche et à la place, je me suis battue avec la feuille. Peu de farce en passant pour trop de feuilles. Le reste était correct, sans plus. Mais le hoummous, ça a été ma plus grande déception. On a dû le jeter. Il était mauvais. Avec un goût un peu ‘poisson’ ce qui est absolument pas normal pour du bon hoummous. J’ai été déçue.
Mais j’ai aimé leurs boules de labneh au zaatar. C’est facile à faire, je le reconnais, mais c’était bon. Leur labneh n’est pas fait maison par exemple, ils le prennent d’un fournisseur qui s’appelle Marie Kaadé. C’est du bon labneh. ;)
Pour conclure, je n’y suis pas retournée depuis. J’ai été trop déçue. Je préfère retourner au Adonis où la bouffe est moins chère (oui les prix sont un peu trop élevés au Trip de Bouffe…) et faire moi-​même mon hoummous.

This has to be my favourite Lebanese place in Montréal! This is coming from someone who is originally Lebanese and very picky!
Simply perfect! Food is so good and you can really taste how it’s homemade!
I can’t wait to go back! Reminds me of home :)

Nom nom nom. Pita made in house — perfect. All salads sampled so far — tasty and beyond fresh. Stuffed vine leaves — in the top 5 ever tasted according to my partner. All stuffed pastries sampled so far amazing!
Ah nuts! I have made myself so hungry for these amazing goodies that I have to cut this review short to go out and get some more.
So, briefly, pick up your goodies there for your picnic on the mountain or to nosh at home in the depth of winter to remind you of warm Mediterranean breezes.
Also, the guys really know their stuff, ask them about their dishes — they’re so knowledgeable and friendly it’s an added treat.
Off I go! (Did I bring enough bags to carry it all home?)

L-​O-​V-​E. I need an option with more than five stars, please!
First of all, I was immediately struck by Richie’s penetrating blue eyeballs. He has all the girls swooning, I am SURE. Anyway, all lusting aside, this place was an awesome discovery. Located in the heart of the Plateau, TDB offers an awesome array of all things Lebanese, made fresh daily, with what appears to be a lot of love, by a dude called Pops (who is literally, Pops to one of the owners). They have a variety of pre-​made items such as marinated turnip (squeal!), important goodies, nuts & spices, and of course, the main attraction: home cooked Lebanese food ranging from humus and chicken to falafel and Lebanese-​style pizza (I forget what that’s called). The food is delicious. Enough said.
They do have a small section if you’re in the mood to eat in, but I think it’s more of a pick up and go kind of place. As well, if you’re having a party and feel too lazy to cook — go see these guys and they’ll hook you up.
Noms.

This place is what i call a lil gem in the city. Its a lebanese Bakery full of home made lebanese/​Arab inspired goodies like Tabouleh, baba ganoush, Sambusac, baklava and an assortment of mixed salads, rice and meat dishes. You can also find a variety of nuts, spices, juice, breads, yogourt, syrup drinks (i hope you guys know of mint syrup or your life is missing something fundamental) and the thing that i find most exciting: Olive oil — that you can actually sample before buying — offered in regular glass bottles or big metal bottles with a small faucet!
+ so many more things to discover. An exciting little store for any food lover!
This place is perfect to come and pick up a lunch if you work around the mount royal area or pick up some of your favourite lebanese goodies (i picked up some fresh whole wheat flat bread and humous)…and also just to discover some new flavours!

Tout ce que j’ai dévoré la était super bon, spécialement les petites pizza. La pâte est addictive et tout simplement delicieuse c’est comme un mélange entre un pita et un pain naan!

Ouvert depuis tout juste un mois, Trip de Bouffe (Mont-​Royal) est à la fois une épicerie fine de produits libanais, et un comptoir lunch prêt-​à-​manger, à rapporter à la maison ou à déguster sur place, le tout pour un prix ridiculement bas.
On se bourre dans la pizza maison sur pain pita avec viande épicée, menthe, tomates et oignons, roulée en genre de wrap. Les kebbe et les rouleaux de fromages sont savoureux, les feuilles de vignes trop vinaigrées à mon goût.

Ce fût une agréable visite à ce nouveau «restaurant» sur le plateau. Je dis restaurant, mais on peut plus parler de comptoir alimentaire. Il y a des tables où vous pourrez écouter un film projeté sur le mur, mais la raison principale de l’établissement est plus le take-​out.
Très bon choix de pains. Ce sont des pains/​pizzas libanais avec plusieurs choix de garnitures (végé, fromage, épinards/​feta, viande) qui coûtent vraiment pas chers, mais qui sont très bons.
Bön choix de salades aussi qui peuvent servir d’accompagnements.
Bien content de ma visite.

Un petit ”marché Adonis” sur le Plateau, comptoir de bouffe libanaise prêt-​à-​manger sur place ou pour emporter !

Sunday morning «breakfast» including spinach fatayer, kebbes and sambouseks at a newly open Lebanese bakery on the Plateau, Trip de Bouffe. Everything was fresh and tasty.
Baklava: light and flaky, right amount of syrup on each layer, sign of freshness
