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!

Merci pour votre service & votre richesse culturelle.
Le service & l'accueil était tres bon rien à redire là dessus Mais jai été déçu du repas globalement manque cruellement de saveur le couscous était pas chaud & sans goût & le tajine n'était pas exceptionnel (j'ai cherché le citron confit partout dans mon plat) & le mélange d'épice était pas à mon goût dommage je n'ai pas voyagé lors de ce moment La harissa était bonne ceci dit le prix est bon
I heard about this restaurant & decided to try it. Wonderful experience the owner is very kind. Ordered the prunes & lamb tagine it was delicious, hearty, & authentic. Comes with bread to dip. Plan to visit again to try the couscous plates.
