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.

Au Tarot is a local gem recommended to us by our taxi driver. We had the chicken tagine, couscous & rack of lamb. Truly the best lamb i've every had; tender without being too fatty, & the seasoning was out of this world. Chicken was amazing, & the vegetables & broth for the couscous was fragrant & satisfying. The owner attended to us personally as he did everyone in the restaurant, & we had an endless supply of "extras", especially different varieties of figs with our mint tea. Don't get sugar in your mint tea; you'll have plenty of sweet treats to satisfy you. Amazing & delightful dinner.

Restaurant un peu petit, avec beaucoup de table, donc tres bruyant, & une seule personne faisant le service. La bouffe est bonne, mais le merguez n'est pas le meilleur que j'ai mangé.

L'ambiance est décontractée. C' est quasi comme être chez soi ou la parenté aimée. La saveur & qualité servies fondent délicieusement dans le palais. le ne cherchai pas le gros luxe des gros hotels.
