Perfect for a girls night out. I don't drink, so food quality is important for me & it did not disappoint. I judge restaurants by their bread & this was goooood. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive. Decor is on trend. I have to try their dinner with show!

Le personnel semblait pressé que l'on quitte. La serveuse a desservi 3 convives alors que la 4e n'avait pas terminé son plat. Un manque de décorum.

L'accueil était exécrable & les serveurs très antipathiques. Nous avions été intialement assigné à une table sur la terasse. Cependant, nous voulions avoir une table à l'intérieur afin de profiter du décor intérieur. Le serveur était extrêmement réticence à nous relocaliser à une table intérieur.

Après avoir survolé le menu, mes filles & moi avions convenu que nous allions prendre le couscous royal pour une personne en table d'hôte & une entrée. Ce choix était basé sur le fait que nous n'avions pas très très faim. Le serveur nous a imposé le couscous royal à partager à 20$ supplémentaire. Alors nous avons annulé l'ajout de la table d'hôte. Puis le serveur a insisté qu'on prenne un plat pour enfant pour ma fille la plus jeune, sans nous donner beaucoup le choix. Après qu'il soit parti, nous en avons discuté à nouveau & avons convenu que nous avions pas assez faim pour tout ça & nous avons finalement annulé le plat pour enfant & pris une moussant comme entrée. Le serveur qui savait que nous avions pas très faim, ne nous a pas adéquatement recommandé en ce qui a trait de la commande à passer. Le moussaka etait correct, rien de wow! Après avoir reçu le couscous royal, nous étions choquée. Le plat était facilement pour 4-5 personnes. Il y avait bien trop de nourriture pour mes 2 filles & moi. Le serveur aurait dû nous avertir que c'était bien trop de nourriture & aurait dû nous suggérer de ne pas prendre d'entrée en plus de plat principal.

Amazing evening dinner. We were a group of 6 visiting Montreal & we chose Menthe & Couscous for our last dinner. We shared many plates together, including the appetizers plate for two, lamb Tajine, chicken tajine, couscous royal, Mediterranean plate of grill & seafood tajines. Everything was excellent & cooked to perfection. Their homemade pita bread is amazing with the appetizers. Excellent friendly service & staff is very friendly & attentive. The ambiance makes you relaxed with couches all around & cushions, & the music & decor make the place warm & nice. I highly recommend this place for groups.

Visiting Montreal from Calgary. We heard from our friends & read a lot of positive comments about Menthe & Couscous. We thought of giving it a try. We went & ordered the lamb Tajine, the chicken Tajine & the couscous royal. As an appetizer we ordered the brik ans the grilled vegetables tapenade. Food is great, service is excellent & ambiance is amazing with nice decor & music.
