We went for Montreal a la Table. The appitizer of grilled halumi & eggplant were delicious. The other dishes were good but every main seemed to be in a thin soup that was quite one note. They were also quite greasy.

We went to celebrate a birthday & we were delighted that we had selected this exquisite restaurant!

Our server & guide, Eric, suggested we get a few plates to share & taste a greater variety. He recommended a few dishes based on our preferences.

We ordered the halloumi, oyster mushroom tagine, grilled asparagus & that evening's special was a grilled swordfish steak. The presentation, was excellent, the service attentive & the taste delicious. We loved most of it especially the mushroom tagine. Exquisite!

IMO the swordfish steak was bland & the pita was dry & unsalted. I still felt hungry after finishing I need more protein at my meals.

The decor was evocative of the Magreb & the Silk Road. The only detraction in the ambience was having the music too loud to converse with ease.

Perfect spot for brunch! The food was delicious, but it was the atmosphere that really was my favorite part. We got the shakshuka & the grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was delicious but a little rich when eating the whole thing. Overall, very wonderful experience!

The food, service & atmosphere were all a 10/10. It's such a cute setting, nice little vibe & music. The waiter was extremely friendly & helpful. & the food was just sooo good. Particularly enjoyed the mushroom tajine, the bread & the grilled halloumi. Oh also the carrot cake was cray. Would 100% go back!

I found this place on Eater & decided that this would be the place to eat at during a small 2 night stay in Montréal. I was not disappointed! Moroccan cuisine, dishes with thought out flavors & textures. Our dinner was fantastic. Ordered the: Flatbread, Grilled Halloumi, Beet Salad, Chicken Tagine, & Grilled Octopus I thought the halloumi, chicken tagine, & grilled octopus were really good. I wish the pieces of chicken in the tagine were a bit bigger, I'd say. The flavor & texture was great. Crunch, salt, sweet, savory... all in the chicken tagine. All the dishes were fantastic, I would recommend!

My recent dining experience at Darna Bistroquet left me utterly impressed & satisfied! this charming bistro offers a culinary journey. The Grilled Kémia halloumi platter stole the show! Each bite was a burst of flavor, perfectly grilled to achieve that ideal balance of smokiness & tenderness. Accompanied by house bread, it elevated the dining experience.

Everything at Darna was absolutely delicious! The lamb kaftas were fragrant, freshened up by the acidity of the pickled onions. The grilled halloumi was similarly excellent: fatty, salty with a creamy tangy sauce. The real star was the mushroom tagine: the mushroom soaked up all of the flavor & umami, & left you wanting for more with every bite. Do not sleep on their desserts either! I would gladly come back here for another visit.

Wonderful experience! Menu items were typically Moroccan with a modern flair. Grilled halloumi & humus starters were very tasty. Chicken & lamb tagines were full & flavorful. The Moroccan mint tea after the last course & before dessert was key. Highly recommend!

Excellent service & incredible flavors. We each had the discovery menu which provided a fun array of dishes. Everything was very good, especially the falafel, roasted eggplant, chicken tagine, grilled halloumi & rghaeif flat bread. The servers were extremely attentive & kind. Darna also has a selection of interesting non-alcoholic mocktails — including a great non-alcoholic margarita. Much appreciated!

This little North African restaurant is awesome. The food is spectacular. All of it. Grilled haloumi on roasted plums. Ricotta gnocchi & artichoke hearts in a lemony sauce. Hummus full of cumin seeds & preserved lemon. Monkfish tagine. Date cake with whipped labneh & fig panna cotta. Service is thoughtful & friendly. Care is taken at every step. What an amazing find. Perfect evening.
