L’Olive Noire is a rich and colorful restaurant. The framework of L’Olive Noire is in itself an invitation to travel.
It is in our restaurant you will find North Africa fine cuisine and especially traditional Moroccan dishes. The star dish is couscous, which is available in different versions, the classic being the lamb couscous. L’Olive Noire is located in Montreal, Ontario Street East, Pie-IX metro station.
You will be greeted by the owner himself, in a warm atmosphere with oriental back ground music.
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.
An authentic Moroccan dining experience ! The lamb couscous with dried fruits was absolutely incredible. It was flavorful & perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were generous. The owner provided exceptional service, making us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend !
Je trouve ça dommage que cette adresse ne soit pas davantage connue car c'est un excellent restaurant qui sert du fait maison avec une décoration soignée! Très bonne cuisine marocaine authentique 👌🏻 je recommande Seul petit bémol : peu de choix en boissons (eau en bouteille payante)
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.
A good dive into morrocan food. The place was a bit empty but the food was good. Both the tajines & coucous plates were tasty with great presentation. The only hiccup was a problem with one dish that they didn't correct when asked about it; it reflected the rather average service we've had all evening.
Service impeccable & rapide malgré que cette soirée la serveuse n'était pas rentrée. Nourriture qui m'a fait voyager au Maroc. Nous avons essayé la tajine aux fruits secs, le couscous royal, des rouleaux kefta ainsi que la pastilla au poulet. Tout était délicieux & très chaud. Il est vrai que nous ne pouvons ni apportez demain est le restaurant n'a pas de permis d'alcool mais , entre vous & moi, la nourriture est encore meilleur sans alcool! Vous pouvez également commander sur über eat si vous avez envie de souper entre amis avec un verre de vin. J'ai adoré & je suis difficile à surprendre lorsque je vais au resto ☺️
