Trip de Bouffe, a Plateau treasure since 2012, is where Lebanese comfort food and Québécois slang for “the munchies” collide. This family-run spot serves as an épicerie fine, takeout counter, and bakery rolled into one. The draw? Everything is made from scratch, from kaftas and kébbés to tabbouleh spiked with avocado and fattoush dressed in a symphony of fresh herbs. The star of the show, though, is the manouche: over a dozen varieties of this Middle Eastern flatbread await, and the wrap upgrade—with garlic sauce, pickled turnips, and mint—is a must. Beyond manouche, there’s a spread of irresistible snacks like spinach fatayers, fried cheese rolls, and those football-shaped kibbeh. Whether you’re assembling a mezze feast or grabbing a quick bite, this spot’s mix of homemade flavours and budget-friendly eats makes it a local legend.
