Très beau restaurant, nous étions un groupe de 7 personnes & avons mangé sur la terrasse, ce qui fut des plus agréable! Les assiettes étaient très belles & bien remplies. Leur couscous Royal était délicieux & les portions sont généreuses! Il faut apportez son vin ou sa bière(il y a une SAQ à 400 mètres sur Ste-Catherine). Le restaurant est à seulement 1 minute de marche du théâtre St-Denis.

Nous sommes arrivés à l'heure pour notre réservation (table d'hôte pour 2). Comme c'était l'été, nous souhaitions nous installer en terrasse, mais on nous a répondu qu'il fallait l'avoir réservée à l'avance, alors que cette option ne nous avait même pas été proposée lors de la réservation par téléphone faite 7 heures plus tôt.

À noter que ce n'était pas ma première expérience de table d'hôte dans un restaurant marocain, ce qui me permet d'avoir un point de comparaison:
Côté repas, ce fut une grande déception. Les champignons de la salade du chef étaient servis crus & la soupe était beaucoup trop acide. Après environ 40 minutes d'attente, la tajine (couscous, agneau & légumes) est enfin arrivée : elle était également très acide, & la viande était beaucoup trop cuite, à la limite d'être brûlée. Quant à la baklava, elle était excessivement sucrée & manquait de feuilletage. Seuls le couscous, les légumes & le thé à la menthe étaient satisfaisants.
Le service laissait également à désirer : après chaque plat, nous devions attirer l'attention du personnel pour que le service se poursuive.

Au final, entre le service, le cadre intérieur & la qualité de la nourriture, je donne une note de 4/10.

The chicken tajine with pickled lemon & green olives was fresh, fragrant, & beautifully prepared. One of the most enjoyable Mediterranean meals I've had in Montreal.

I ordered the homemade merguez, & it was excellent. Perfectly grilled with authentic spices & served with delicious homemade harissa. Definitely worth coming back for.
