Coup de coeur pour Terracotta Montréal !
Ambiance magnifique avec de la musique tunisienne authentique. Les enfants ont adoré le *coin salon traditionnel* qui nous ramenait au bon vieux temps chez nos mamies en Tunisie. & que dire de la bonne bouffe ! Tout était délicieux, surtout *les gargoulettes* ❤?❤?
Mention spéciale à Imen & Sara pour leur accueil chaleureux & leur service impeccable. Merci infiniment pour tout.
Point important : n'oubliez pas de réserver avant d'y aller. 🇹🇳⭐?⭐?⭐?
Assez déçus. Certains plats étaient complets en eux-mêmes, mais la majorité de nos commandes étaient dégarnies. L'agneau n'était pas assez cuit ou trop dur dans les gargoulette. Le saumon était bien, mais peu relevé. Oubliez le pied de veau, il n'y a aucune viande dans ce plat, que des cartilages & du gras. La citronnade était succulente, mais insuffisante pour nous nourrir…
The service & atmosphere are warm & really great. There was a mistake where the kitchen made the wrong order, but it was corrected instantly & I was provided with hot tea as a complementary service I think, which was wonderful & has a slight flavor of mint. The seafood gargoulette was perfectly seasoned & the ingredients are fresh, though I had to order bread to ensure I felt full enough. I wasn't even charged for the bread, maybe due to the early mishap, & was offered jasmine water on my hands before leaving, which smelled wonderful & shows how friendly the service is. I would love to come back again!
Amazing cuisine served in a warm, caring, attentive, & casual atmosphere. Don't miss the signature gargoulette dishes & the delicious, labor intensive house lemonade. The owner took time out on a very busy night to explain how each dish was made. Run, do not walk to this fantastic place, but make sure you have a reservation!
We had the most amazing experience at Terracotta the other night! The staff were so welcoming & passionate about sharing Tunisian cusisine & culture.
Our kids loved the experience as well, the indoor'banquet' seating was luxurious & perfect for little ones!
We got the lamb gargoulette, it was such flavourful dish! It is made in a Terracotta dish over 24 hours so you know it's going to be incredible!
The kids menu is perfect for little ones - great flavour, no spice, & a good variety of things to eat. As adults we even enjoying nibbling of the kid's plate.
Terracotta is a must try - an incredibly unique dining experience that will make you want to go back again & again!
We ate at Terracotta our first night in Montreal & it did not disappoint! We got a table right away, the server was fantastic; she was kind, helpful, & gave really great recommendations. We ordered the mechouia salad to share & then my husband got the fruits de mer (seafood) gargoulette & loved it, I got the poulet (chicken) ojja which I also loved but it was very spicy so make sure you're up for that!
The only downside of our experience is we were seated next to their trash (maybe recycling?) bins & it got a little smelly at times. The food & cheerful waitress made this easy to overlook but it was a bummer especially when dining.
One of the best restaurants we have tried in a while! Delicious food, I highly recommend the gargoulette & the octopus salad. The service was very friendly, they explained the different dishes to us & provided recommendations. Highly recommend trying this restaurant!
