More plusses than minuses - good & unusual food, friendly knowledgeable staff, pleasant decor & music. Friendly fellow customers, some of whom seem to be regulars. Named for Congo's independence day, but food is a mix of cultures (Ivory Coast, Congo, Indian/African, etc.).
Our appetizer (Pondu & rice) was outstanding - flavorful mix of greens & beef stew. As was one of the two mains, fufu w. grain sauce (actually a different type of beef stew with big tender chunks of meat). Fufu & the fermented dough placali for the other dish (w. gumbo sauce) is a bread substitute made of cassava, great for dipping (by hand) in the sauces. Only the gumbo wasn't quite to our liking - more gelatinous with an herb that was an acquired taste.
A nice bonus was the dessert'Congo cake' - actually small balls that were more like beignet (donut) holes.
The minuses, though few: This is not a fancy restaurant, & had some odd (but comfortable) uneven seating benches. Unfortunately, at least on our visit, there was little heat on a freezing night - which the owners tried to make up for with convection heat dishes propped on a chair to the side of our table.
The one unforgivable issue was charging tax on our tip, even though the credit card machine indicated a suggested tip without it (& which is illegal in Quebec)! I offered a generous 20% tip & was surprised to find later it was upped by the taxes. I won't report this but it is a violation of the new Quebec law. Stop it!
I don't want to take away from what was overall a great experience though, don't avoid this place but do check to make sure you aren't similarly hit. Prices overall were reasonable - with drinks it was $128 with taxes.
Last weekend, my family & I visited 30 Juin Restaurant in Montreal, a spot known for its authentic Congolese cuisine. We were excited to dive into flavors that reminded us of home, & this meal did not disappoint. Our server, Claudia, warmly welcomed us & guided us through the menu, making us feel at ease right away. To start, we ordered Sweet Potato Fries, Beef Samoussas (4), & Veggie Samoussas (5). Each bite was bursting with flavor & set the tone for the feast to come. For our shared, family-style entrée, we chose a variety of dishes: Makayabu (2) - fried cod that was perfectly seasoned & crispy, ½ Yassa Chicken - braised chicken marinated in a lemon, mustard, & onion sauce that was both tangy & rich, & Laid - stewed cassava leaves that brought a comforting, earthy taste. These entrées were paired with white rice & Fufu - a soft dough made from wheat flour, ideal for scooping up every bit of sauce. This meal hit home in every sense. Not only was it hearty & delicious, but it also brought back childhood memories of eating similar dishes at my grandparents' house. The flavors were authentic & nostalgic, & with six of us sharing, there was still plenty of food left over to take home. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy & inviting, & being among the first customers to arrive, we had a chance to enjoy the space before it filled up. Claudia's service was impeccable - she was attentive & kind, adding to our experience. That said, the bathroom could use some attention. While it was usable, it wasn't as clean or presentable as I would have liked. Overall, 30 Juin Restaurant delivered a meal that felt like a warm hug from home. I love a good African cuisine, & this spot truly captured the essence of Congolese flavors. We'll definitely be back for another visit!
Je ne suis jamais allé au restaurant, mes deux fois que j'ai commandé c'était par Uber Eats, bonne nourriture super recommandée, mais pour moi le seul problème c'est la portion de sauce, je ne trouve rien à la valeur de l'achat... sinon, je n'ai rien à redire
Je suis très impressionnée & très satisfaite! C'était ma première fois que j'essaie la sauce graine avec fufu & je suis en amour! J'adore ce nouveau goût. J'ai tout terminé! J'en pense encore. Simplement délicieux! J'ai aussi essayé le poulet mayo avec attieke - un vrai délice! Merci beaucoup! Je vais recommander c'est sur! Attention la piment vert est très épicé! 🔥🚒🌶️🫑 Wow! Je suis sans mots. Ce goût est innoubliable!
Super bonne bouffe! Je suis venu manger avec mon copain en date nous avions pris le poulet sauce 30 juin avec foufou & WOW tout qu'un délice! D'après moi le meilleur foufou à Montréal!! La viande était fraîche, le service impeccable & merci a la serveuse de nous avoir aidé avec notre choix! Je recommande!
Commander sur uber eat la chèvre était un délice & la sauce pili pili délicieuse par contre j'aurais imaginer autre chose que du riz blanc de base comme accompagnement.
