Review Summary

Menthe et Couscous consistently earns praise for authentic North African comfort with generous portions of light and fluffy couscous royal, tender lamb tagine, and homemade merguez, all delivered in a warm, cozy atmosphere with attentive service; reviews also highlight the lively experiences from belly dancing and live music to a pleasant terrace, and the restaurant's BYOB policy and reasonable prices add to the appeal for both intimate dinners and group evenings.

Excellent food. Fresh vegetables & tender lamb shanks. Their sauce of couscous is amazing. Amazing atmosphere & decor, complemented with nice background music from around the world. Very good service & waiting staff with positive smiling attitude. I highly recommend it.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Everything was perfect. Food was so delicious, lamb was so tender it literally melts in the mouth, service was very attentive & friendly, music was romantic & enchanting & decor makes you travel out of Montreal. Really one of my best dinner evening with my friends. We all enjoyed our meal, & chatting while there was background music that is not loud which allowed us to talk without shouting to be able to hear each others.

I highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent food & service. Lamb tajine was the best, & the couscous that accompanies it is out of this world. All my friends were very happy we chose this restaurant. Decor is very nice, with colorful chandeliers that reflect colorful shades on the walls. The music they play is tantalizing & matches the ambiance. We felt like travelling out of Montreal.

One of the best discoveries I've had. The food is so fresh served in lovely plates.
The lamb couscous is an amazing plate. My friend tried the lamb tajine & it was a really a very good choice.
Another friend took the tajine seafood, it was generous served with olive & lemon, he liked it so much too.
We dined & wined in a nice atmosphere, with eclectic decor & candle light.
Highly recommended for small gathering & groups. Definitely will return back & will recommend it to all our friends.

C'etait un de mes meilleurs resto experiences a Montreal, Samedi dernier etait l'anniversaire de ma copine, on etait un groupe de 22 personnes, on a pris le menu de volonté pour juste $30 chacun, le bouffe etait exceptionnel surtout le tajine, il y avait aussi un spectacle oriental avec une danseuse tres drole, tout le monde a dansé jusqu'a 2h le matin , l'atmosphere etait incroyable , la music, le decor, & les quantité des plats, vraiment je vais repeter cette experience tres souvent

Nous y sommes allés un soir. Il y avait peu de monde, un service rapide mais plutôt froid, c'est à peine si le serveur nous parlait & pas de sourire. Un joli décor mais un sol sale & nous avions même des morceaux de verre sous notre table. Le couscous était bon avec de généreuses portions mais il était fade, ça manquait d'épices.
C'est surement un bon restaurant à la vue des autres commentaires mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas eu une bonne expérience ce soir là & nous n'y retournerons pas.

Vibrant & causy. A good choice for a good meal. The Coucous royal for 2 gave us the chance to try all the types of couscous they offer. The lamb shanks is the winner...
Excellent music selection, & very nice humble decor. The restaurant was busy all the time. We left at 1.30am & still it was packed.

Highly recommended, for food, ambiance & music. Very good experience.

Excellent food & ambiance. Highly recommended. We took the Family Style package as a group, for 30$/person. The food, as well as the service were impeccable. It was our first time there but it definitely will not be our last. Spotless kitchen & bathroom. A clean, professional & very tasty experience. Beautifully decorated as well. It made our evening.

Je vais presque à chaque semaine à un nouveau resto à Montréal & je dois dire que le Menthe & Couscous en particulier a énormément retenu mon attention. Tout d'abord le restaurant a une décoration très intime & chaleureuse qui vous fais voyager au temps des milles & une nuit. De plus, la nourriture est exquise, nous étions 6 à prendre des plats différents ( soit couscous, tajines, etc) & nous étions toutes très satisfaites. Finalement, la serveuse ainsi que le personnel étaient chaleureux & souriants qui ont rendu notre soirée mémorable.
À recommander à tout le monde sans hésitations:)!

Ambiance & décor chaleureux, musique parfois arabe, parfois plus contemporaine, ce fut un excellent souper à ce restaurant! Nous avons pris la soupe chorba & le couscous merguez qui étaient délicieux (une portion plutôt généreuse). Le service était très bien, je recommande ce resto aux amateurs de couscous! :)

Bon acceuil & tres excellente cuisine orientale
Une vaste carte avec en plus des traditionnels couscous (qui sont excellents) un grand choix de tajines avec des variantes originales & succulentes.
La qualité des plats est excellente & les quantités généreuses.
L'accueil y est très chaleureux & le décor bien que chargé est agréable.

Souper à 2 un mardi soir.
Une promotion affichée à l'entrée pour un souper pour 2 les mardis soirs.
Mais une fois rentrés, nous apprenons que la promotion ne s'applique pas & que c'est trop compliqué d'enlever l'affiche.
Nous avons choisi :
- couscous agneau
- merguez grillés
Mis à part les viandes, les accompagnements étaient similaires mais présentés de façon différente (semoule & haricots verts).
Un pain pita en accompagnement ; décor simpliste dans un petit local... Mal assis...

En résumé, il s'agit du pire couscous que je n'ai jamais mangé.
