I don't recommend this place. The pastilla wasn't right, hard top dough, dry chicken, & I'm not even sure there were almonds. The sandwich was unevenly heated & had grated cheese. We kept hearing the microwave the whole time, which explains the quality. They also sell arancini & samosas despite being a Moroccan place, so overall it didn't feel authentic or well-prepared.

My friends & I were visiting Montréal & we decided to look for a Moroccan restaurant. Café Ô Tajine was highly rated so we came here. One of my friends is a pescatarian, but she had no problem finding something to eat on the menu. My friends ate vegetable samosas & the falafel sandwiches. The falafel sandwich was in a wrap & it was served grilled like a panini. I had a vegetable platter with potatoes, carrots, onions, peas & green olives over couscous. It was delicious. My friends loved the falafel wraps & the samosas. We would definitely eat here again if we visit Montreal again.

The place is very small with seating for maybe 12-14 people. The staff was very friendly & welcoming. They chatted with us & by the time we were ready to leave, we were all laughing & joking with the staff. If you live in the area or visiting from out of town & you are looking for a small Moroccan restaurant with a casual atmosphere, i would recommend that you try Café Ô Tajine.

A small place. If you do not know about it you would almost miss it. Did not have tanjine, takes longer to cook. Just a chicken sandwich. There is a choice of restaurants on this stretch of Rue Ontario. Moroccan is not easy to find in my city. The sandwich was fine, I would have liked more green vegetables. In retrospect , I should have picked something more Moroccan.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Café O Tajine in Montreal! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the food was absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the tajine - boeuf braisé aux pruneaux - the beef was incredibly tender & perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the prunes. The pastilla was also a highlight, with its flaky pastry & rich, flavorful filling. To finish it all off, the thé à la menthe was refreshing & authentic, served just the way it should be. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving traditional Moroccan cuisine!

Beautiful little Moroccan restaurant & cafe! The chicken sandwich is incredible, as are the selection of desserts, but the real surprise was the mint tea -- absolutely delicious! The family running this place are also so sweet & kind & welcoming. Will definitely be back again soon!

Family-owned & run restaurant with the mother at the back prepping the meals by hand. I came here for an authentic moroccan culinary experience & I was not disappointed. From couscous, pickled olives, mint tea & any Moroccan delight you crave. I love the location & it felt like a bistro style moroccan shop restaurant.
