About us

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.

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. 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.

The food here is AMAZING. We got delivery for our first time & it did not disappoint. My husband's family is from Morocco so we definitely have a higher bar, the flavors were really on point, the lamb shank tajine was such a surprise, we will definitely eat here again when we come back! Don't miss it!

Les merguez étaient sèches & la tajine d'agneau trop sucrée. C'était correct, sans plus.

Amazing choices for Mediterranean food especially for couscous lovers. I only like home-cooked couscous. But this place beats even home cooked. No extra oil, no added sugar. & still the tea & desserts tasted delightful. The best part was the enthusiasm of the staff. The way they talk about the food shows the dedication. Great work Menthe & Couscous, keep the good work up...

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Menthe & Couscous restaurant is a true hidden gem. You can taste the love & intention in every bite from the perfectly balanced spices to the freshness of the ingredients. Every dish feels like it was made with care, not just cooked.

La cuisine & l'accueil chaleureux nous ont séduit! Un ami & moi, tous deux amateurs de couscous, avons adoré le plat de couscous royal & ses mets variés & savoureux ainsi que le thé vert à la menthe avec le dessert omali. Le service est efficace & sympathique. Nous comptons devenir des habitués!
