About

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!

Restaurant au Tarot was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff & service went above & beyond & made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, & the portions were very generous, which made the meal even better.

We also really appreciated that there were lots of vegan options available. Everything we tried was full of flavor, & it was clear that a lot of care goes into both the food & the overall dining experience.

We had so much fun, enjoyed every bite, & had a great time. I highly recommend Tarot & will definitely be coming back!

A lovely Mediterranean & North African restaurant in the heart of Montreal. The atmosphere is warm & friendly, the food portions are excellent, & everything tastes fresh. The place is a bit small, but it feels cozy & quiet. Highly recommended.
