What a wonderful evening! We came as a family of 10+ people, & it's not always easy to find a place that feels warm & convivial while satisfying everyone at the table. Restaurant Dada captured exactly what it feels like to gather around a table & eat together as a family back home. We will definitely be back.
& the food… Do you know how hard it is to find a truly authentic, delicious couscous in Montreal? Well, the search is over. The tajine lamb with prunes is absolutely to die for, & nothing beats the classic chicken tajine with olives & preserved lemon.
I'm already craving it again . I definitely haven't had enough!
Taktouka, couscous à l'agneau & tajine à l'agneau & aux pruneaux juste incroyables! Le service chaleureux & le décor traditionnel ont rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Merci Camélia & Saïd, nous serons de retour!
such a beautiful cozy spot on beaubien! the food was **delicious** with such complex flavour profiles. great vegan options. cozy ambience. banging playlist. glugged some wine with my gals & shared a tajine - what a fun night! dada is close to my heart. can't recommend this place enough!
Nous avons été prendre un verre & quelques mezze ce soir & c'était excellent !
Le mojito était très bon & le tajine kefta également.
De plus, la propriétaire était adorable & la terrasse très agréable. Je recommande !
Petit resto méditerranéen des plus accueillant, souper de fête des plus réussi, tout était délicieux, le cocktail Dada est un must, le meilleur des coucous, les tajines sont fabuleuses, le hummus iam iam que du wow ! Je conseille fortement ce petit bijoux de resto. Tout est délicieux , c'est la deuxième fois qu'on y va & ce ne sera pas la dernière, service chaleureux & bonne bouffe! Quelle belle soirée!
Fantastic Moroccan food & ambience. C'est excellent! Best in Montreal?
Delicious Mouhammara, unique with spice & molasses sweetness & lots of warm fluffy bread. Could eat that all day! The Kefta Tajine meatballs were tender & had a tasty spiced tomato sauce that also paired well with the bread.
The main sizes were huge, you are getting a great amount for what you're paying. Hangar steak was cooked perfectly to order with an incredible mashed potato puree & roasted veggies that melted!
The Caponata Marocaine had a ton of couscous with delicious tender eggplant & chickpeas. Very filling.
Not pictured, we also had the chicken tajine that was a mountain of slow cooked chicken & potatoes with sauce. Breast & leg had meat falling off the bone. Perfectly cooked.
I also recommend the Dada cocktail, a nicely balanced blueberry & vodka fizz. Paired well with the mezzes, especially that fantastic Mouhammara.
Service was rapid & friendly. Our host Camelia helped us when we asked for recommendations & we were not disappointed! We will absolutely be returning as soon as we can.
Très bon restaurant, avec une super belle ambiance très chaleureuse, confortable & agréable. La décoration est magnifique, bravo au propriétaire, Saïd, qui a refait toute la déco du resto & qui en a fait qqch de magnifique !
Nous avions pris des mezze à partager en entrée (miammmm) & un tajine pour moi en plat. J'aurais pris plus de légumes néanmoins dans mon plat, car il n'y en avait pas assez selon moi. Les cocktails quant à eux, etaient excellents! Bravo à la gérante !
Le service était super bon aussi. Nouvelle adresse à garder en tête dans le quartier, on va y revenir c'est sûr !!
We visited this place with my wife in mid October. We really enjoyed the Tzatziki & fell in love with the Tajine Kefta, it was just amazing. We also had the grilled chicken, which, while slightly on the pricier side, was still good. The service was excellent, the lady that helped us was very friendly & proactively helped us translating the menu, as we are not Francophones & the menu was only in French.
