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.

Absolutely must try place!! Everything is just perfect, it's hard to say this about a restaurant but this place blew my brains. You will find absolute perfection here. The service was excellent, almost every staff who pass by you check if you need anything. You see everyone take care of every table. The food was amazing & you can taste every ingredient in your meal, food takes a while to come but it's an absolute bliss. Great if you're looking for fine dinning & must make a reservation 2-3 weeks before because this place is booked all the time. Thanks Damas, will definitely be back

I was blown away, from the atmosphere, decor to the explosion of flavours. We had the M & C salad which can be only described as bliss, the seafood tajine with shrimps, octopus, calmar & mussels (the most tender octopus I ever had) & the lamb shank tajine(mouth watering).

Reservations are a must! It would be wise to book at least 2 weeks in advance to make sure you get the time slots you desire. Walkings are welcomed but you really need to be lucky or show up late otherwise. If you are a group try the group royal tasting menu, it might be the best deal to get the most out of the experience.

What a magical place! From the decor to the ingredients, everything is orchestrated to create a unique experience. The service is impeccable; probably one of the finest in Montreal.

Came here twice & I would say their appetizers are delicious. The first time we went we got the Brik & méchouia. Loved it all! The second time we got the lamb tajine, the couscous paella & kunafa as a dessert. We would go here again for more plates to try.

I have traveled to several countries in the Mediterranean ans the Middle East & the food at Menthe & Couscous was better than anything that I ate abroad. The lamb shank tajine was the best that I have ever tasted.
