Très bel endroit, c'était une première visite & nous avons été bien accueilli. Très bon plat, mais nous aurions aimé avoir plus de jus pour les légumes & un plat de sauce piquante. Quelle belle ambiance, à la fois musicale, odorante & musicale. Nous recommandons!
Phenomenal cuisine & atmosphere. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know visiting Montreal. You are missing out if you don't try this place!

J'ai beaucoup aimé la décoration & le concept de s'asseoir sur des petits bancs. Le service est bon, le cuisinier très souriant & courtois, il est même venu nous expliquer la composition du repas. C'est un endroit très familial & cozy. La nourriture est très bonne & leur thé à la menthe est juste parfait. J'y retournerais volontiers ☺️
One of the best meals I've ever had. Loved having the chef & owner interacting with us, & his song at the start of the meal was a blessing I will not soon forget. Dishes were flavorful yet simple. How good meals should be done!
Did not like the food at all... all dumped in one plate - taste nothing - the place is dirty & smells old & dirty, Would NEVER go back or recommend this place

Truly incredible. Favourite restaurant in Montreal. The food is to die for, the ambiance is perfect, & the service is great. The prices are very fair as well. Highly, highly recommmend.
What a fun, interesting place with delicious food. Chicken & olives, vegetarian & beef dished served on couscous that was light & airy. Hibiscus juice was lovely, sweet mint tea a nice end to the meal. Really nicely decorated. We would come again.
Très bien. Bel accueil & explications claires. Service rapide & attentionné. Nourriture goûteuse, mais qui nous fait demeurer dans notre zone de confort. Le fait de pouvoir apportez notre vin est un avantage indiscutable. Merci !
