About us

For more than 35 years, the restaurant Au Tarot has established itself as the best Mediterranean restaurant in Montreal. The restaurant Au Tarot is at once an Algerian restaurant, a Moroccan restaurant, and a Tunisian restaurant, as it marries all the cuisine of the Maghreb. To save you the effort of cooking, the restaurant offers free delivery of its fresh traditional dishes, cooked every day with care. Takeout meals are also available. Consult the chef for special delivery during events, weddings, film shoots, office parties, etc.

The chef-owner, Nouredine Kara, demanding and a perfectionist, does his own shopping by selecting the best fresh products from the market every day. He oversees everything: from the preparation of the semolina to the homemade production of the merguez; from the perfect composition of the tagines (which are undoubtedly the best in Montreal), to the warm and affable welcome of all customers. One often encounters many personalities from the world of arts, business, or politics at the restaurant, who are loyal fans of tagines, pastillas, and couscous, as well as the charm that reigns here.

Au Tarot: quality, calm atmosphere, smiles, and a warm welcome… nothing but happiness!

The server/owner is so nice to keep visiting the table to check if we need anything. He also offered some free couscous & some desserts for us.
The hospitality was really amazing & I felt welcomed. I just hope that people know that the portion is big so they should mind that before ordering or you can get shocked.
& I recommend ordering lamb shank instead of poulet or other sausages. It just simply tastes better. I was so surprised today for the portion & the best hospitality of the owner. I don't think I've ever been welcomed in a restaurant at this level.
When I paid, the app didn't work with my card so I couldn't pay. He said I could pay later 😅 I wouldn't do that ofc
Luckily, my bf paid with his card at that time. (Later I found out the card had no problem elsewhere…) Thank you for such a nice experience.

This place is absolutely fantastic from all aspects: the food is tasty & authentic & the ambiance is friendly with the owner himself passing by & chatting with you with a nice smile & generous hospitality. Service is also very good. I would return for sure & recommend it to anyone craving good Morocon cuisine.

I traveled from Toronto to Montreal, & with only a short stay, I chose this restaurant to experience authentic North African cuisine. Honestly, the experience exceeded my expectations in every way:
The Food absolutely delicious! Rich flavors, spotlessly clean, & packed with that genuine home-cooked warmth you fall in love with instantly. I ordered the couscous & it was fantastic. To make it even better, ten minutes after serving, the owner brought out fresh vegetables & added them to my plate, warmly saying,'Try these, they're fresh!'-a simple gesture that instantly reminded me of my mother's care & tenderness.

The owner, Mr. Noureddine, is an incredible host in every sense of the word. We never felt like mere customers; we felt like honored guests in his home. He welcomed us with genuine warmth, kindness, & simplicity, personally checking on our table & serving us, even treating us to a complimentary salad & desserts.

The space is simple, quiet, & carries a cozy, intimate vibe that puts you right at ease.
It was an exceptional experience that truly touched my heart. I highly recommend anyone visiting Montreal to stop by this wonderful restaurant, meet the lovely owner Noureddine, & enjoy a meal you won't forget.

Au Tarot est l'un de mes restaurants préférés du Plateau! Leur agneau aux prunes & leur couscous sont des incontournables du menu!

Nous sommes venus en groupe de 10 personnes & nous avons passé une excellente soirée au Restaurant Au Tarot. L'accueil a été chaleureux du début à la fin, & le service était impeccable. Toute l'équipe a été aux petits soins, avec beaucoup de gentillesse & de générosité.

Nous avions choisi la formule à partager, ce qui nous a permis de goûter à plusieurs spécialités, notamment le couscous & les tajines. Il y avait également des options végétariennes, donc chacun a trouvé son bonheur. Les plats étaient délicieux, très savoureux & surtout extrêmement copieux !

Les portions étaient tellement généreuses que nous sommes tous repartis avec un doggy bag, tout en ayant déjà le ventre bien rempli. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent : pour la quantité, la qualité des plats & le service reçu, les prix sont plus que raisonnables. En plus, c'est un apportez votre vin, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus intéressante pour un groupe.
C'est une adresse conviviale où l'on mange très bien & où l'on se sent vraiment bien accueilli.
Je recommande sans hésiter & j'y retournerai avec grand plaisir !
