Nous avons mangé aujourd'hui au restaurant tunisien El Mida &, en tant que Marocains, nous avons vraiment adoré l'expérience ! Tout était délicieux & l'accueil chaleureux. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant & je remercie sincèrement les propriétaires pour leur professionnalisme.
5 étoile ⭐? pour le personnel très accueillant & le service impeccable, 5 étoile ⭐? pour les plats pennes au crevettes, ojja fruit de mer & ojja merguez. Le pain fait maison est très bon aussi. Une petite déception pour le couscous car la viande d'agneau n'était pas comme celle présentée sur la photo du menu, n'était pas non plus assez tendre & le couscous un peu sec. Donc je recommanderais que le restaurant revisite le couscous!
Excellent restaurant ! La nourriture est incroyable & le personnel est à l'écoute & nous explique super bien le menu. Je recommande à 110%, l'essayer c'est l'adopter🤤🤤
Such an incredible restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice & the servers was so friendly & knowledgeable. We really wish they had a location in Toronto! The tabouna, & Tunisian trio salads were such a great start to our meal with the brik. The moloukhia & seafood ojja were *chefs kiss*. My brother enjoyed the lamb couscous & said the lamb was cooked perfectly & his gf loved the seafood pasta! Whenever we return to Montreal, we will be at El Mida. But please open up in Toronto. People will love it even if they aren't Tunisian (trust me)!
Hier, j'étais au restaurant & j'ai commandé trois plats différents : c'était délicieux, les portions étaient généreuses & le service impeccable. Le gérant était accueillant & l'ambiance très agréable. C'est un grand restaurant, spacieux & convivial. Je vous encourage vraiment à y aller : c'est un endroit formidable & un restaurant qui fait honneur à la Tunisie.

A Mexican friend & I used to work at the same company in Tunis & we used to go out in group for culinary experiences across the capital. Years fast forward, we both happen to be in Montréal so I wanted her to experience Tunisian food again & I wanted her family to experience it for the first time. El mida did not dissapoint at all! The food was good in terms of taste & quantity. I specifically loved their merguez & I really liked the quality of the seafood they used in the pasta. My Mexican friend was super happy & her family as well. The staff were really happy that my friend lived in Tunisia & they were extra good to us thanks to that. I highly recommend this place.
Très bel accueil le propriétaire est très serviable & vraiment amical 😁 j'ai aimé l'ambiance familial & la nourriture était authentique & savoureuse 😋 je recommande fortement 👌
This wasn't my first time here & just like before, they didn't disappoint!
I've tried three different main dishes on separate visits, & every single one was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, & full of bold spices exactly what I've been craving!
The seasoning is rich & well balanced, & the touch of heat adds an amazing kick that makes the whole dish pop. It's spicy in the best way possible just how I like it!
Ordering is super simple & fast you just scan a QR code at the table & place your order directly. The process is smooth & convenient, & the food always arrives quickly & fresh.
The service is always excellent friendly, attentive, & efficient.
Honestly, this spot is becoming one of my top favorites. Highly recommended for anyone who loves flavorful, spicy food & great service! 👏🏻
Well done EL MIDA 👏🏻👏🏻
