The homemade merguez deserves a special mention. Juicy, nicely grilled & wonderfully seasoned. You can really tell the difference from store-bought merguez.

A fantastic dinner from start to finish. The Couscous Royal was generous, colorful & full of flavor. The homemade merguez was especially good. Warm hospitality & a very cozy setting.

Alors que nous avions un spectacle en soirée au Cinéma Saint-Denis du centre-ville montréalais, nous avions réservé en ce restaurant'Apportez votre vin' à proximité.

Nous avons pris notre repas en la salle à manger de cet établissement. Elle n'est pas très grande mais elle est chaleureuse de par son aménagement, sa décoration, ses peintures, ses vitraux & cette musicalité nord africaine.
Nous étions bien assis & avions une belle table en un petit coin sympathique.

La terrasse à l'avant est fort joli & fleuri, avec cette belle vue sur la petite rue Émery.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis & servis par monsieur Rached & le personnel courtois & souriant de la place. On avait bien noté mon allergie sévère aux fruits de mer.

Le menu est fait d'une belle variété de mets de la cuisine maghrebine de très bon niveau & convient à pratiquement tous les goûts, autant pour les entrées, les repas & bien entendu de succulents desserts... Ma conjointe s'est régalé de son couscous aux merguez & ma tagine de gigot d'agneau était délectable.

L'addition aura été du niveau culinaire de l'établissement.

The homemade merguez stole the show. We almost ordered another portion before finishing dinner. Absolutely delicious.

Probably one of the best homemade merguez I've tried in Montreal. Perfect seasoning, juicy inside & beautifully grilled. Definitely order them with the couscous.

Nice terrace seating, excellent ambiance with music you feel like on a garden surrounded with flowers all over. Excellent couscous royal with lamb shank, chicken & merguez. We had to take the leftovers home as it was a generous portion. We were tempted by the tie dessert menu & we took the Kunafa & the birouates along with the mint green tea. A must try in Montreal.

Les assiettes étaient copieuses. Nous avons pris 2 couscous avec jarret d'agneau & une tajine jarret d'agneau. Dans la tajine il y avait un abricot sec & deux pruneaux. Il y avait aussi plusieurs amandes. Ces dernières manquaient d'amour. Les amandes auraient pu être grillées voir même assaisonnées plutôt qu'ajoutées grossièrement à l'assiette. La sauce de la tajine était beaucoup plus goûteuse que celle du couscous qui vient à part. En entrée nous avons pris les merguez qui étaient excellentes servies avec pain pita, ainsi que l'assiette variée à partager pour deux mais nous étions trois & c'était amplement.
