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!

Review Summary

Au Tarot is described as a warm, welcoming spot in Montreal where guests repeatedly praise generous portions, fresh, flavorful dishes, and comforting home style cooking. Dishes such as couscous and tagines are highlighted as standouts, with many calling the couscous among the best in town and the flavors genuinely Moroccan and North African in character. The service is noted for being attentive, friendly, and personal, with the owner making guests feel at home and the atmosphere described as cozy and inviting, well suited for groups or casual meals. Takeout and delivery are appreciated as convenient ways to enjoy the same high quality at home, and the overall impression is one of hospitality, generosity, and consistently satisfying meals. Au Tarot is firmly regarded for solid value, generous portions, and a memorable dining experience that inspires return visits.

Excellent couscous servi en portions généreuses. L'agneau était particulièrement tendre & savoureux. Service à la fois attentionné & décontracté. L'accueil chaleureux du patron, M. Kara, ajoute au plaisir de se retrouver dans son resto. Je recommande!

Nous avons eu un excellent souper. Le repas était savoureux & en portion très généreuse. Nous avons pu rapporter à la maison ce qui restait ( pas de gaspillage).
La salade du Tarot en entrée était exceptionnellement savoiureuse. Le repas principal vraiment délicieux & tout ça, à un prix très raisonnable.
L'accueil, l'ambiance & le service très cool. On y retournera très certainement, en famille & avec des amis.
Un Resto à découvrir ou à redécouvrir.
