Tunisia was once a French colony, so the cuisine is also deeply influenced by French cuisine. Lamb is a'meat with personality', either you like it or you hate it, there is no middle zone. The clay pot lamb is great, with plenty of ingredients & full of flavor. Tunisian shrimp brik is similar to Taiwan's oyster omelette, which is made with shrimps & soft-boiled eggs, then wrapped in pancakes, salty & delicious.View more

We stumbled upon Terracotta on a Monday evening, wandering around this fantastic neighborhood. I can't say enough good things about the restaurant. We were new to Tunisian cuisine & were excited for a new experience. It did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious - everything we ordered was so good with very big servings & the service was outstanding - our waitstaff were attentive, informative & friendly. I would highly recommend this spot. We will definitely be back.View more

Can't believe google didn't recommend this place. Tucked away on a side street, had a nice vibe (with indoor & outdoor seating options), friendly staff, & lovely food. The aesthetic might strike you as italian on first blush, but it is Tunisian. Food is phenomenal & filling!View more

My wife & I were out for a walk tonight & stopped in front of TerraCotta restaurant to inspect the menu. The co-owner Salim came out to greet us. He was warm & friendly & told us his restaurant featured Tunisian/Italian food. We decided right then to try it.
We began with fried Tunisian puff pastry with egg, mashed potatoes, parsley & tuna. First time we've ever eaten something like this & it was sublime.
For the mains, my wife had lamb on a bed of couscous & chick peas...Delicious.
I had lamb on a bed of cooked veggies on top of mashed potatoes. Just before being served the waiter poured a very small glass of honey on it, followed by a very small glass of pistachio pieces...again sublime!
Terracotta combines lovely service, the warmth of Salim, & new taste sensations.View more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Tunisian restaurant, & I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality & a cozy, authentic atmosphere that immediately made me feel like I was transported to Tunisia.
The menu is a beautiful celebration of Tunisian cuisine, with every dish bursting with rich flavors & unique spices. The brik was perfectly crispy, & the fell was a true masterpiece, full of tender lamb. The'gargoulette' was absolutely divine.
Thank you for this culinary journey!View more

One of the best restaurants in Montréal! The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic & rich tunisian flavors. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, & the service is outstanding, truly above & beyond. Every dish we tried was amazing, & the gargoulette was the best I've ever had. The owner was incredibly kind. Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be back! ❤?View more

My first time in a Tunisian restaurant, I loved it! I thought it had a lot of flavor but nothing strong, more like homemade food, made with patience & love. The prices are super, the whole experience. I recommend 10 out of 10View more

Overall : highly recommend. Honey lamb was decadent. Almost as good as the service ;) . Just kidding everything was SERVICE 4 of us came in on a Monday night & stayed until about 21:30. None of us had eaten Tunisian cuisine before. The server described the menu, provided excellent recommendations & was super attentive. Always had water, dishes were collected promptly & the food was delivered timely. FOOD Appies : got a couple fricasse. Mains : veg couscous, honey lamb, kafteji merguez, & the chicken ojja. Desserts : 2 crème brûlés : pistachio & a hazelnut Presentation was excellent. Portion sizes were great. & the flavours were POP-PING. My mouth did not stop salivating. I am sad I shared the honey lamb with my friends because it was so good & I wanted to eat it all myself. The couscous was a nice base for the other dishes, but was the least flavourful of the four dishes. Good, but wouldn't order it alone. Crème brûle is my favourite dessert & I appreciated their twist on it. Loved that they toasted it in front of us & poured nuts over top. I think it could have been more chilled but was delicious! Slightly heavier than OG CB's so we could have probably just split 1 instead of 2. AMBIANCE More traditional sitting options & tables. Lovely & comfortable decor with music that wasn't too loud. ALSO THEY HAVE BRUNCH - ummm helllllllo. Loveeee that! Will definitely be coming back here. Thank you for a wonderful evening out!View more

Stumbled across Terracotta while walking along Duluth for the first time in a while & one person in our group felt like pasta. Seems like they're a newer establishment. After our experience there, we were glad to have found them :) The food was tasty, with generous servings, & our server Sabre (i am guessing on spelling there) was lovely. Our party of three tried out the following mains which we all enjoyed: pates quatre fromages (4 cheese pasta), pates saumon (salmon pasta), cotelettes d'agneau (lamb chops) We also tried out their citronade - super fresh, I believe they juice the lemons themselves. For dessert, they had a pistachio crème brûlée that day - which most of our party loved (a bit too sweet for one of us). We'd be happy to return again to try more of their Tunisian menu!View more

The service here was incredible, they are so kind! We got takeout but I loved the ambience of the restaurant & the seating. We got the - couscous agneau - ojja Terracotta - lamb gargoulette They were all very delicious. We liked the flat bread more than the puff one, as it has an amazing chew. It was my first time having Tunisian food & I really enjoyed it!View more

Patricia
Tunisian Cuisine ! Unique & delicious, Honey & pistachios on soft roasted lamb shank was totally new to us. Definitely a must try. More egg's than I expected 😁 fresh salads & some Smokey spicy ( very spicy) choice with the three salad app. Absolutely have the lemonade with honey, we made it through three, not too tarte or sweet - just right. Excellent attentive service. The pageantry of the lamb was very nice as wellView more

Great food & ambience. What makes the experience truly great is the service - it's extremely warm & hospitable, almost like having a meal at someone's house. I don't know a lot about Tunisian cuisine, & this was a great introduction. Small details like the authentic dishware & the traditional style of serving food truly take it to the next level.View more

A true taste of Tunisia. The food is the most authentic Tunisian cuisine I have had in Canada. They have all of the classic dishes on the menu even down to the lemonade. The service is great, all of the staff are Tunisian ensuring the culture & heritage is preserved through the most authentic experience you can get. All of the food is halal & a great option for anyone who wants to explore a beautiful culture through its cuisineView more
Mariam
Wow! What a unique dining experience. The staff is so friendly & we enjoyed traditional Tunisian food - the lamb gargoulette, which is slow cooked for 8 hours with potatoes, onions & tomatoes. The waiter then serves the meal out of a terracotta pot & pulls the meat off the bone in front of you. Absolutely delicious & tasted like a traditional home cooked meal! You can tell the restaurant really cares about the quality of the food & service & puts a lot of love & attention into it.View more

The service & atmosphere are top!!! But the food was average. If you want to invite a foreign friend to taste Tunisian food it is a good address.View more

Terracotta is a newly opened Tunisian restaurant with an amazing ambience. The lamb gargoulette we ordered was cooked to perfection. The service was top notch & the owner was super friendly. I'm definitely going back!!View more

First time having Tunisian food & definitely won't be my last! The staff was welcoming & passionate about authenticity. The brika was pleasantly flaky & light & should not be skipped! I had the chicken gargoulette & it was so juicy, it literally falls off the bone. Perfectly balanced in flavour. The pistachio creme brulee was not terribly sweet, which is to my taste 👍 I can't emphasize how much I enjoyed the presentation. I "wow"ed so many times that the staff giggled at how ridiculously amazed I was with the food & service.View more

Our first time trying Tunisian cuisine. Nice authentic restaurant. Food was very good. Portions were big. For entrees we had the bricka & the trio of salade or dip. For main we had the lamb gargoulette & seafood gargoulette. It needed a little salt but sauce was flavorful. Service was fast. The menu was hard to understand but you could see pictures of the plates on instagram. Seems to be very family friendly. Menu has many pasta dishes & sandwhiches. Music was a little loud & around 8h30 there was a live singer. He was good. Vibe was festif.but It was too loud for the small restaurant. It would have been fine maybe at a bigger restaurant or the sound system could be rearrange. some tables were too close to the stage area. We felt too crowded, servers had not enough space to circulate. Maybe have less table. Food had unique méditerranean flavors. It has potential.good for groups. Entrées can easily be shared. We would go back to try different dishes. But maybe going earlier in the eveneving.View more
