I went for dinner with my husband a week ago. The restaurant was small & cute & warm. The service was wonderful. We ordered the lamb & the chicken tagine. Both were beautifully presented, but surprisingly bland. Although Moroccan food is typically served under seasoned & with no salt shaker on the table. The tagine was deceivingly small, as the chicken was served on the bone, & there were many bones & not a lot of chicken. We shared 4 cocktails, & although there were all nice, & sounded unique, none of them wowed us.

J'avais de grandes attentes après avoir vu de bons commentaires, je suis un peu déçue de cette première expérience...Les plats sont fades (entrée peu assaisonnée & couscous très sec, sans jus) & les cuissons ne sont pas maîtrisées (pieuvre beaucoup trop cuite à la limite du caoutchouteux, même chose pour l'agneau). Je m'attendais à mieux d'un restaurant proposant de l'authentique cuisine méditerranéenne. Le point positif est le service, très professionnel & aimable. Attention les prix sur le site internet ne sont pas à jour (nous avons payé 68$ (au lieu de 60$ sur le site) pour le menu découverte 4 services).

Toujours un plaisir de revenir au Darna... C'est un véritable voyage de saveur au coeur de la cuisine marocaine. Chaque plat est un délice & le propriétaire fait tout, lui-même, sur place avec des produits de la ferme... L'ambiance est chaleureuse, cocktails maison & une belle carte de vin bio. Mon coup de coeur ♥️ ✨

I had a such a wonderful dining experience at Darna. Can't stop thinking about the roasted sweet potato dish, full of flavour & very filling. There are many other vegetarian options as well. The staff were very knowledgeable & kind. I'm definitely coming back & recommending it to my friends!
