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.
Laila

Charlotte
Great place for Mediterranean food & nice ambiance with amazing music. The shank of lamb was some of the best I've had at a restaurant & our server was very helpful on helping us pick out our wine to bring, appetizer & desserts. Will be back!
David
Great atmosphere, music, service & food! I have celiac disease & the servers were all very attentive & explained all the gluten free options. They offer tajine with vegetables or skewers with salad. Overall Menthe & Couscous had a great vibe & is right in the heart of quartier Latin for the perfect dinner spot.

A Perfect Valentine's Evening at Menthe & Couscous 💖
I had the most wonderful experience celebrating Valentine's Day at Menthe & Couscous! From the moment we walked in, the warm Mediterranean ambiance set the perfect romantic mood. The candlelit tables, soft lighting, & elegant decor created an intimate & cozy atmosphere.
The food was absolutely delicious-every dish was packed with authentic Mediterranean flavors. We started with the mezze platter, which was fresh & flavorful, followed by the lamb tagine that was cooked to perfection. My partner had the seafood couscous, & it was equally delightful.
The live music added a magical touch to the evening, making the experience even more special. The staff was incredibly welcoming & attentive, ensuring that every detail was perfect.
Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or simply want to enjoy amazing Mediterranean cuisine, Menthe & Couscous is the place to be. Highly recommended.

My favorite restaurant in Montreal right now. Amazing food, service, decor, vibes, location, music, & staff. Can't say enough good things about Menthe & Couscous. My wife & I come here once a month at minimum
Michael
Great service, great food, & great choice in music. The staff was very friendly & made sure we had everything we needed. Everything we ate was wonderful. Highly recommended
Hugo
Once in awhile you find a special place that exceeds every possible expectation. Menthe & Couscous is one of those restaurants! The staff was outstanding; friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. The atmosphere was lively with creative lighting design & nice music just loud enough to enough but not enough to overpower. The best part however, was the food. We ordered 4 of the tajines for the 4 of us. This was one of the most outstanding & memorable meals we have ever had. The presentation of each dish was exquisite. The flavors were bright, inspired & innovative. We had seafood & lamb meat & everything was cooked to perfection. I not only recommend this restaurant but will go as far to say this is a must if you visit Montreal. I am already looking forward to our next visit!

One of the few amazing dining experiences in Montreal. Be it excellent food, amazing ambiance with nice music, decor & terrace, & finally very friendly dedicated service. Lamb tajine is a must.

Excellent st Valentin. La music & le violoniste étaient superbe. On a terminé la soirée avec le spectacle de danse oriental. Magnifique. Une soirée inoubliable.
