La Méd - Resto Café draws praise for fresh, hearty Mediterranean flavors and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Several reviews highlight generous bowls and plates, good value, and friendly service, with outdoor terrace seating cited as a pleasant feature. Yet there are notes of inconsistency, with some dishes described as flavorful while others are criticized as under seasoned or tasteless, including hummus lacking tahini, a watery tzatziki, and salads with old cucumbers. The grilled Tunisian salad and pita bread receive frequent acclaim, and bowls such as the harissa bowl and Lebanese inspired options are highly recommended. Ramadan and iftar nights are described as memorable for their soups, salads, couscous, and desserts, delivered with warm service, though occasional delays for mains are mentioned. Overall, La Méd - Resto Café is seen as a strong neighborhood addition for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal, with colorful ambiance and attentive staff, while some reviewers call for menu clarity about items being removed and for more environmentally friendly presentation instead of cardboard bowls.
The food was mostly awful. The humus had almost no taste- it lacked tahini, sesame paste & salt. The Tunisian salad had old cucumbers, & the dressing was not well seasoned & too oily. The tzatziki was not creamy yoghurt- instead it was watered down who knows what, & it had almost no taste. Where were the chopped cucumbers, where was the dill…? The watery tzatziki was not only unpleasant to look at, but it also tasted bad. The falafel, again, was almost tasteless & had no discernible seasoning whatsoever. The smoothie was mostly banana- not enough strawberries & almost no mango. The limonade was OK & nothing more.
The Grilled Tunisian salad was excellent as was the pita bread.
Lastly, we came for the Internet advertised Shakshuka, &, of course, they no longer had it on their menu.
My word of advice: do not waste your money nor time!
I ordered the Lebanese Ultimate bowl which came with fresh & delish falafel & tabouleh salad. Service was warm & friendly & outdoor terrace seating was perfect on a beautiful day. I will return to try other items on their menu. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

We had such an incredible iftar here for one of their Ramadan nights. The ambience was perfect, the staff was so friendly & we left with full tummies ! Everything from the soup & salad to couscous & dessert was *chefs kiss* ! The decor also makes you feel like you're in Tunisia 🤍
We wandered across this lunch place as we were walking up from the water. What perfect stop. We had the Tunisian Bowl with Halloumi, & the Mykonos salad with Falafel. The servings were perfect size. The service was fast & friendly. The flavours were well balanced & engaging. I rarely give 5 out of 5 but there is absolutely nothing I would have changed.
La nourriture y est vraiment excellente & fraîche mais il y a une énorme lacune côté service. Nous sommes arrivés vers 13h30, une des serveuses était vautrée dans les sofas & n'a pas bougé à notre arrivée, pas un bonjour ni un sourire. Comme une impression de déranger. Les produits d'entretien sont visibles partout dans le restaurant. Il nous a été proposé ni boissons ni cafés à la fin du repas. C'est vraiment dommage car le lieu a du potentiel & les salades sont très bonnes. Seul le houmous est à revoir, il a plus goût de fromage frais que de houmous.

Lovely lunch cafe that serves phenomenal salads & bowls that are beautifully presented. We had the salmon bowl & Mykonos salad & both were SO delicious & filling. The Mykonos bowl was so tasty, loved the variety of fresh vegetables, pita & lemon vinaigrette is something I'll def be craving. Looking forward to returning for another healthy lunch soon

Salad was delicious & although the falafel was far too salty for my taste the freshness & authenticity make up for it. I recommend trying this place for yourself. A couple service issues. Order at counter, served to table so there's service to the extent of staff doing what seems helpful. But not a full service restaurant. Coffee was brought without sugar/cream so I asked for sugar. I was brought a sugar bowl with a tiny scoop spoon in it 🥣 that seemed was for behind-the-counter use & not intended for stirring a beverage. May not have been but how do I know if the tiny spoon wasn't used in another beverage & not replaced. Felt unhygienic using it to stir my coffee. Water was offered shortly after the food was served & because of the salty falafel I looked forward to some water. The employee promptly forgot about the water & sat down to eat as it was near closing time 🙄. These are growing pains.
