We had the Discovery Menu. The food was superb-- especially the Halibut, the halloumi, the carrot cake.
The atmosphere was great, small & intimate. We were well cared for.

Vraiment une belle expérience! Les gens sont très gentils & avenants! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & intime. Nous avons pris le repas trois services pour deux, il y avait environ 6 plats à partager (halloumi grillé, hummus, merguez sur fèves, aubergine, caille, falafels). Belle sélection de vins aussi, nous avons opté pour un rouge du Maroc.

Darna is small but mighty & an absolute gem, especially for a cozy Mother's Day brunch.
We ordered the breakfast poutine, assiette merguez, halloumi toast, brioche with sautéed wild mushrooms, & the French toast to share alongside delicious mimosas. Everything was perfect,
full of flavor & freshness. Service was fast & friendly & they even treated us to mint tea as a Mother's Day treat. We'll definitley be back to try their main dinner menu!

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.

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.
