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.

Awesome experience. Had reservations at 8 pm were a bit early & had no problem being seated. Restaurant was very busy but it didn't take away from a great experience. We were served by Rachel & I can say she might be one of the best servers I have encountered. I am also in the business for 18 yrs & was inspired by her knowledge of every detail. My spouse had been trying to take me there for a while now & I can say I was impressed. Also I rarely write a review but this time I had to take the time to do so.Thank as well to the hospitality from the minute we walked in till we departed.

My spouse & I had heard about this restaurant for a few years. Finally when the opportunity presented itself & we found ourselves in Montreal we planned ahead & booked this restaurant. Advance reservations highly recommended! The restaurant is fairly large with a bustling wait staff. The restaurant is decorated with Mediterranean & Middle Eastern lanterns & motifs. Our server was very energetic & the restaurant was very accommodating to modify the tasting menu per our dietary restriction. The tasting menu was highly recommended since the menu is quite expansive. The food came to our table promptly & was beautifully plated. The menu is on the pricier side but well worth it for special occasions.

An understated & beautiful restaurant located in the quartier latin. The weather that evening was lovely & so we chose to sit in the outdoor terrace area. Even though the restaurant was completely full we felt like the entire evening/dinner was an intimate experience. We started with the tomato soup, literally one of the finest soups ever. Followed with the four appetisers plate, was outstanding with vibrant & unique flavors without being overpowering. Salad M & C was amazing. The shank of lamb was perfect with couscous & vegetables. We had a beautiful bottle of wine to go along with the meal. The service & staff in general was tremendous with just the right amount of conversation & privacy. I have to say that this was one of the finest dining experiences I have had, ever. If you are a foodie, then Menthe & Couscous is a must if visiting Montreal

We had some expectations & they were more than fulfilled. The place was packed, after telling the hostess that we had an anniversary she was quick to get us a better table. We had the tasting menu & it was simply fantastic, even the seafood tajine was heavenly. Highly recommended, great service, good atmosphere & fantastic food.

There were no false notes in our meal. None. We had the appetisers plate to share -- so fabulous, & a chicken tajine that was also amazing. All the starters were also delicious. I don't think you can go wrong there. Great service, great food, great night!

I heard this retaurant was good but you have to reserve in advance & I could never get a reservation but when I did go; the food was the best Mediterranean food I had in Montreal, for my husband that came from that part of the world was the same experience fantastic food. For me was especially the couscous royal was so well delicious. We had very good service. Now I understand why this restaurant is so busy. The decor is nice.
