Review Summary

Reviewers describe L'Olive Noire as delivering hearty, authentic Moroccan cuisine with generous portions and prices that many feel are fair given the size of the dishes. Dishes such as lamb and chicken tagines, couscous with merguez, pastilla with almonds, zaalouk, and even dessert like crepe mille trous are repeatedly praised for depth of flavor and careful preparation. The atmosphere is praised as authentic and the service described as warm and attentive, with a welcoming vibe and decor that evokes travel. Several notes emphasize that the restaurant is halal and serves no alcohol, and water sometimes comes with a charge, which is a downside for some. A few reviews mention occasional service slowdowns when the place is busy, occasional miscommunications about dishes, and in one case a perception of unequal service order by gender. Overall, however, the consensus is positive, with many recommending L'Olive Noire for a satisfying, flavorful Moroccan experience and for big portions and hearty meals.

Loved it ! My first time eating Moroccan food & I don't regret a thing. The food was excellent, & the service was great. I had the chicken tajine & my boyfriend had the lamb & both were absolutely succulent. Our waiter was really nice & took the time to explain the culture to us. We didn't wait long to get our food either. The place wasn't crowded in fact, it was just us on a Wednesday night but they still had a lot of delivery orders!

L'Olive Noire offers a satisfying taste of Morocco right here in Montréal. With my Moroccan friend as a guide, I can confirm the authenticity of the flavors. The food is delicious & well-prepared. A great choice for a Moroccan meal in the city 🇲🇦

L'Olive Noire stands out as the best Moroccan restaurant in Montréal. The food is consistently well-prepared & authentically captures the essence of Moroccan Amazigh/North African cuisine. While I've never dined in person, I've been ordering from them for over four years & have found their dishes to be the best among many international restaurants I've tried. Each dish reflects a touch of love & care. Unlike many places where service & quality decline over time, this restaurant maintains its high standards. They have truly made me fall in love with Moroccan cuisine. Although my interactions with them have been limited to phone calls, the staff has always been kind & friendly. Their food deserves more than a five-star rating.

There are many excellent restaurants east of Pie IX on Ontario Street that are quite fine. If you have a taste for Moroccan or Algerian food, L'Olive Noire's flavors are something you must try. I've dined here on several occasions & each time the consistency of excellence has made me & my companions very happy.

Amazing Moroccan cuisine ! We enjoy our choices, very tasty , not disappointing tajines. There's short staff, so be patient for your food.

Loved the meat tajines (chicken & veal). Perfectly cooked, well balanced flavors... brought me back to morocco & my moroccan grandmother's cooking. The food is well presented, the atmosphere is nice (just needs a moodier lighting) & how is this place not buzzing!!! The only one that made me taste morocco in my plate.
