Menthe et Couscous stands out as a warm, inviting spot where authentic North African flavors meet generous portions and thoughtful service. The couscous and tagines, especially the lamb shank and the couscous royal, are repeatedly noted for tenderness, bold seasonings, and beautiful presentation, often accompanied by vegetables that balance the dishes perfectly. The setting is cozy and intimate, enhanced by soft lighting, inviting decor, and occasional belly dancing that adds a festive touch.

Service is consistently friendly and attentive, with staff that explain the menu clearly and accommodate dietary needs, and the bring-your-own-wine option adding great value.

In short, Menthe et Couscous delivers authentic flavors, a warm ambience, and dependable quality that makes it a standout in Montreal.View restaurant profile

Buona Sera

Review Summary

Buona Sera delivers a charm of a cozy, traditional dining room with a mix of glowing and mixed feedback across reviews. Many praise the wood fired pizzas, generous portions, and a warm, friendly vibe, noting delicious dishes and solid value for the price. Some experiences highlight slower service, items arriving late, and inconsistent timing or attentiveness, while others complain about bland flavors, garlic heavy salad notes, or parmesan quality; mentions about the staff being helpful when working well are balanced by reports of overwhelmed servers and uneven attention. The menu variety and European style options are frequently appreciated, as is the family friendly feel and the option of a wood oven aroma. Parking and some visits can be challenging, and a few reviews indicate a decline in quality after ownership changes. Overall, Buona Sera is seen as a good, affordable option with standout pizza and a welcoming atmosphere when the service and kitchen are on the same page, though experiences can vary by visit.View restaurant profile
