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.

As a vegetarian, bring my non-vegetarian friends to Menthe & Couscous was a blessing. They have many vegan vegetarian options. I had the fatma finger & the moussaka dip. Then the tajine vegetables served with couscous. Amazing.

perfect spot with delicious food! My girlfriend & I spent a day in Montreal & came across this restaurant for a late lunch. We didn't have a reservation, but they took us anyways. Everyone in the restaurant was extremely friendly to us! I have a gluten allergy & our server was very knowledgeable about what was safe for me on the menu. We both had the lamb shank tajine. I took the side of rice (which is a very good option). The lamb was flavorful & perfectly tender. We also both ordered juices. I got the mango juice, which was the best I've ever had. Overall, 10/10 experience & I would love to come back the next time we visit Montreal!

Went to Menthe & Couscous several times for dinner or lunch & all was great! Caring staff, delicious meal, & the bellydance show on Friday & Saturday was amazing! Highly recommended! Just in case you look for a calmer spot better to book your table on the terrasse or in the beginning of the restaurant.

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!
