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 earns warm praise for flavorful, comforting Moroccan and North African dishes, with couscous and tajines highlighted as standouts and portions that feel generous and satisfying. The atmosphere is described as friendly and inviting, with attentive service and a host who makes guests feel welcome and at ease, often like a family welcome. Many reviews emphasize fresh, well balanced flavors, reasonable prices, and dependable takeout options that preserve the homemade character of each dish. The menu is noted for variety and authenticity, including lamb and chicken tajines, and the couscous is highlighted as exceptional by several diners. While some comments point to a cozy, small space and occasional inconsistencies, the overall experience is marked by hospitality, generous servings, and a spirit of generosity that guests repeatedly respond to with plans to return.

Tajine & couscous délicieux & chauds. Seul bémol, l'assiette dans laquelle nous avons mangé était froide ce que fit refroidir rapidement tajine & couscous...
Le serveur nous a gentiment dit que le commentaire revenait régulièrement de la part des clients, mais, que pour toutes sortes de raisons, il en était ainsi!
