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.

Had a great evening at this restaurant. I appreciate the waiter's positive attitude. I tried for the first time the couscous royal. I did not know what to expect but it was very copious & full of flavors with a lamb shank, bon less chicken breast & merguez. A great deal in a meal. Did try my table partner's seafood couscous paella which was fantastic. I would come back for this. For starter we had the delight for 2, it was a good introduction to appetizers. I've never had anything like it before. For dessert I had the baklava with cashews & pistachios. I have a very sweet tooth & I loved it. We ended with their famous green tea with mint. Amazing.

We were looking for a quick diner & wishes to get Mediterranean food. We are really big couscous & tajine lovers & we found that the card was quite elaborate. I cannot say anything about the food, as once again it was delicious, but prices are really high. You pay for the beautiful restaurant & to have a cosy dinner. It can be a real nice place for a romantic dinner.

À mon avis, l'une des meilleurs tables de Montreal sans chi-chi. Dans la simplicité, les arômes, la recherche de saveurs, le service extrordinaire. J'ai été charmé du début à la fin & j'ai maintenant envie de visiter les pays méditerranéens. L'entrée de délice pour 2, les paella fruits de mer, l'agneau & les desserts sont juste incroyable. Je ne crois pas que ce resto est abordable pour tous mais il faut y aller au moin une fois dans sa vie !

5 of us from Texas took the metro to Menthe & Couscous on a Monday night for dinner. We had waited until late morning to make reservations so we got 8pm. The restaurant was full & very busy on our arrival but we were promptly seated & our service started. The appetizers selections are large & made to share & selections of the mains were also very wide ranging. This restaurant is almost a destination restaurant. The food was perfect & the service was very good. Do not be in a hurry they spread the food out for all to enjoy & it kept coming for two hours. The desserts were also the hit of the evening.

Menthe & Couscous is known as one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Montreal. It is a byob too so if you see it more of an expensive option you need to consider the fact that you do not pay for drinks & you bring them with you.
