went for dinner last night, first time dining here. everything was delicious, especially the fig margaritas, grilled halloumi & halibut. lots of vegetarian options! would definitely recommend trying it out.
Paul
Service ok & un peu forceur
Les plats sont bon sauf la poutine revisité
Pas de soucis pour revisiter une poutine mais quand il n'y a frites & que le fromage halloumi n'est pas cuit ça devient compliqué
A reteste

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.

Amazing service, great & innovative dishes, lovely ambiance! Grilled halloumi & eggplant steak were standouts !

It's obvious this place is capable of turning out good food - we saw some wonderful looking sausages grilling out front with some other food people seemed to be enjoying. Turns out it was for a special event celebrating five years in business & you had to pre-buy a ticket. The special event also meant a DJ, & we were stuck next to him. It was loud enough we couldn't have a conversation & just wanted to get out of dodge by the end. As for the food, the mushroom tagine was too sweet, & who puts fried halloumi with a low-flavor fatty sauce? The harissa/lemon aioli with the falafel had no discernible spice or color, while the beans with the octopus were flavorless. The Brussels sprouts were kinda blah. It felt like they were trying for upscale with "delicate" flavors & a ton of fat, but we left feeling bloated & disappointed. & watching others eat better food made us feel like second-class citizens. On the bright side, the drinks were well done, & our waiter was friendly & helpful (he told us to order bread, which was the one food I really enjoyed). It looks like customers should stick to brunch here - the menu looks much more basic.

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.

Délicieux brunch marocain, beau décor & service impeccable. Les assiettes sont joliment arrangées & copieuses. Toutes les saveurs vont bien ensemble & sont parfaitement exécutées. On a adoré les merguez, les oeufs aux betteraves, le halloumi & toutes les tartinades. Le cappuccino aux dates & fleur de rose (& autres ingrédient) est décadent, à ne pas manquer ! Très bonne liste de choix pour les végétariens. J'y retournerai souvent !

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.
Malika
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!
April
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!

Un des meilleurs restaurant à Montréal. L'aubergine & l'Halloumi en entrées étaient savoureux. Idem pour l'agneau des Cantons de l'Est & la tagine de poulet confit! A ne pas manquer!
