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.

Stopped in for a weekday lunch (only Monday to Thursday) & was pleasantly surprised. I don't know much about North African/Algerian cuisine, so it was largely new to me. The Chorba soup was delicious & the decor is cozy. I was slightly disappointed in the couscous: although it was tasty & there was some zucchini & a trace of turnip, it was mostly a mix of frozen vegetables.
Overall a fantastic experience with a warm welcome & excellent service.

If I could rate higher, I would without any hesitation. Upon entering we were greeted & sat, despite not having a reservation. We did arrive earlier than the usual dinner crowd though, which played a part in our prompt seating. Our server was friendly & charming, & answered all of our questions. He suggested a few dishes, & was timely with his service. The bill was quite reasonable, given our service & portion sizes, not to mention great quality of food.

The best restaurant we have had on our trip so far. May even go back again before we leave. Lamb shank was the best I've ever had & chicken tajine was amazing. Loved everything about this place.

Wow! Each dish was exquisitely prepared & tasted divine! But it's the service, humble, fun, oh so warm & attentive that truly shines. The staff here are a team of extraordinary people that embrace each patron as if we were individually invited into their very own homes to dine.
