We were first to arrive for lunch time. We were well greated & received & our orders were taken fast. The food was on point as well as the drinks. It was pretty cold in the restaurant as it was very dim & dark. The door was open ( Canadian winter ) so very chilli. Please keep in mind we were first & the only guest. This is why I only give 3 stars for atmosphere as we did not experience de restaurant at its heart beat am sure during rush hours or late at night must be entirely different. I recommend to book if you wish to eat at later times, definitely a spot to visit for those who love West African food in Montreal.
La nourriture était tout simplement délicieuse, pleine de saveurs authentiques & bien préparée. Mais ce qui a vraiment marqué notre soirée, c'est le service exceptionnel d'Angie. Son sourire, son professionnalisme & son attention aux détails ont rendu notre repas encore plus agréable. Elle a su nous conseiller avec justesse. Sa gentillesse & son énergie positive ont fait toute la différence!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a place to feel alive! The vibe is fantastic, the music is great, & the service is excellent-Angie did a wonderful job. The food is amazing as well. I highly recommend this place!
J'y avais été il y'a 2/3 ans, mais ça a l'air qu'il y'a eu beaucoup de changements depuis. Le service a été assez rapide, fin le temps d'attente etait acceptable. La serveuse était très disponible & très gentille. J'ai commandé de la chèvre & je n'en suis pas déçu, juste je suggérais de peut-être augmenter légèrement la portion des accompagnement. Également leur boisson/cocktail sont bons!

A Wonderful Dining Experience! I recently visited this African restaurant & was thoroughly impressed by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming & vibrant ambience set the tone for a great meal. The decor was warm & inviting, with a touch of authentic African charm that made the atmosphere truly unique. The service was top-notch-the staff member was attentive, friendly, & eager to ensure we had a great dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu & happy to make recommendations. Their positive attitude added an extra touch of warmth to the evening. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! We ordered fufu, alloco, half chicken yassa, & half grilled chicken. Each dish was bursting with rich, flavorful spices & cooked to perfection. The fufu had the perfect texture, the alloco was crispy & sweet, & the chicken dishes were tender & wonderfully seasoned. It was clear that a lot of care & love went into preparing the food. This restaurant is a gem, & I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy authentic African cuisine in a welcoming & pleasant setting. I can't wait to come back & try more dishes!
À ne pas manquer, c'est excellent ! Les prix peuvent paraître un peu élevés mais les portions sont très généreuses & le service impeccable (merci à Lionel!!!). Le poulet Mayo & le Poulet 30 juin sont très bons, la chèvre aussi ! Attention à l'adresse car leur site indique encore Jean-Talon Ouest alors que c'est sur Sainte-Catherine Est !
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!

C'est une belle soirée que nous avons passée au "30 juin" lors d'une réunion familiale Franco-Congolaise. Un sans-faute pour la propriétaire de ce restaurant qui nous avait préparé des plats Africains succulents & très bien présentés. Le serveur était souriant & prévenant. Bravo & merci pour cet accueil & la qualité du repas
On a commandé sur place pour environs 100$ le 9 sept, avant de partir pour aller mangé cela a la maison je me suis assuré avec la jeune fille que tout y etait... Malheureusement peu de viande dans les deux repas. & petite portion pour le prix... j'ai appelé pour dire que un des deux etait pas ce que je voulais & j'ai expliqué la situation il on prit la peine de prendre mon numero pour un rappel mais aucun rappel n'a ete fait enfin bref tres decu.
Très belle place. Le personnel est accueillant & souriant. Les serveuses sont à l'écoute de vos besoins. Le repas est excellent, la présentation également. Seul bémol, ils ajoutent automatiquement le pourboire à la facture (comme plusieurs autres restaurants maintenant). Personnellement, j'aimerais avoir le choix. À part cela, c'est un restaurant à essayer.
