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.
Wonderful hospitality. The team at Menthe & Couscous makes you feel like family. They take the time to explain the menu & ensure you have a great experience. Delicious food & exceptional service every time.
Vraiment bon. Tapenade de thon avec petas chauds. Excellent comme entrée. Excellent Couscous aux légumes; Grosse portion; Apportez votre appétit !. Excellent Birouates pour le dessert; moins sucré qu'un baklava pour ceux qui surveille le sucre. Café Turk. Je recommande. À 2 pas du métro & Théâtre St-Denis.
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 :)
We had a truly amazing experience, the manager accommodated us even if we came very close to the closing time . They served us delicious authentic meals. Will definitely repeat.
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.
