Menthe & Couscous: A restaurant with a warm decor & atmosphere in Montreal! Menthe & Couscous offers gourmet cuisine from North Africa, traditional Tunisian & Moroccan dishes in particular, where authentic culinary customs are applied. Specialties consist of lamb, chicken, merguez sausage or royal couscous's, finely spiced, letting the taste of vegetables and the delicious flavor of semolina virgin olive oil stand out. Grills are also part of the restaurant's menu where you will discover authentic and delicious dishes made with fresh & high quality produces. You will have the occasion to discover Tunisian salads that are rich in color & flavor. They are fresh & perfumed, perfect for the Summer, but can be savored any time of the year. The brick is an essential classic of North African cooking. We prepare it as a hot appetizer for a feast or as a light meal. Infinite versions exist for this typical dish. Fresh mint is almost omnipresent in North Africa. Nothing beats mint tea to transport you to Maghreb. Your taste buds and nostrils will be delighted with its intoxicating perfume, while the sound of the pouring liquid charms your hearing. The movement of this shimmering amber syrup, for your viewing pleasure, completes this journey of the senses... Mint tea symbolizes friendliness, relaxation and hospitality, any time of the day! Mint tea is served with a fine Tunisian pastry which is a symphony of textures, colors & flavors. They are made with healthy & natural products which complement and combine your desires and the delightful moments in life. Come to an enchanting setting for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, family, or at our dinner shows! It's with consideration to its customers, which they view as being their guests, that Menthe & Couscous manages to delight its patrons' senses with its food and atmosphere.
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.
I highly recommend the lamb shank tajine. It's incredibly tender & full of rich, slow-cooked flavor. A standout Mediterranean dish in Montreal's Quartier Latin. Warm atmosphere & attentive staff.
A beautiful dining experience from start to finish. The couscous royal is rich & comforting, the lamb tajine is full of flavor, & the homemade merguez is simply delicious. The cozy atmosphere paired with fresh mint tea makes it even more special. The service is warm & attentive-highly recommend!

Menthe & Couscous quickly became one of my favorite places in the city. The food is full of flavor, always fresh, & beautifully presented. The staff are warm, welcoming, & make you feel right at home. Highly recommend the couscous & the mint tea - perfection!
Absolutely amazing! The food at Menthe & Couscous is full of flavor & always fresh. The couscous is perfectly cooked, & the spices are just right. The staff is friendly & welcoming. Highly recommended!
I'll start by saying that the food here was amazing & delicious & if I were to solely rate the food it would be 5 stars. The service however really needs some improvement. After being seated & having our orders taken, we received the wrong appetizers by the same server who took our order. Then instead of receiving our correct appetizers we got our Main Course. I corrected that with the server & they took our food back & brought out the appetizers we ordered except they were clearly made in a rush as one of them was missing the lamb that was supposed to come with it. Finally after all that we thought we would have some dessert & asked for a dessert menu only for them to have completely forgotten about it & after waiting 15 min we just asked for the bill & left. Not once did anyone come to check if the food was good or if we need anything.
Let me reiterate this though. The food was excellent & if you want to try Moroccan food, I highly recommend it. But be prepared for the possibility that the service may not be up to par.
Update 2025 - Service has improved massively. Food quality remains phenomenal. I will continue to recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal.

We ate at Menthe & Couscous last October for dinner & it was wonderful! Our host was so friendly & explained with enthusiasm the entire menu. We had the couscous royal ( so fresh!), tajine with chicken olives & lemon (amazing!) & soup (warm & yummy). Would highly recommend & we will be back again :)
If you're looking for a warm, authentic taste of North African cuisine in a cozy & inviting atmosphere, Menthe & Couscous is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh spices & slow-cooked dishes sets the tone for a memorable dining experience.
The menu is rich with flavor, & every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. The couscous is incredibly light & fluffy, perfectly paired with tender vegetables & savory meats. The tajines are a standout - slow-cooked to perfection, with deep flavors that reflect true Moroccan tradition. Portions are generous & beautifully presented.
The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, & always eager to offer recommendations. Whether you're familiar with Moroccan cuisine or trying it for the first time, they make you feel welcome & comfortable.
The restaurant's ambiance adds to the charm - warm lighting, elegant decor, & the subtle sound of Moroccan music make the experience feel like a getaway.
Overall, Menthe & Couscous is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fresh ingredients, authentic Mediterranean & Moroccan flavors, & a relaxed, welcoming dining experience. Highly recommended - you'll leave satisfied & already planning your next visit.
Excellent food. Their recipe is unconventional & not typical, they took the Mediterranean concept & revisited it to give it more taste. Excellent plates & huge portions. Eclectic decor & warm ambiance with nice diversified music.
I loved their couscous royal & I tried the lamb tajine from my friend & they were both amazing. I highly recommend them.
Simply the best couscous & lamb in Montreal! Upon entry, the staff makes you feel very welcome & at home. Food ticks all the boxes (healthy, fresh, tasty & so yummy 😋) 2 years later & I'm still coming back, highly recommend!
