Terracotta delivers a warm, authentic Tunisian dining experience in Montreal with generous portions and a friendly, attentive team. The menu features signature dishes such as lamb gargoulette, honey lamb that many praise for its tenderness and flavor, octopus salad, the ojja and kafteji, and a variety of traditional sides and desserts, all crafted with bold spices and thoughtful presentation. Guests highlight the cozy ambiance, often with a lovely terrace, and the welcoming service that makes guests feel at home, with Ramadan iftar options and a minty house made lemonade. While the majority of visits are highly satisfying, a few meals have fallen short due to issues like uneven doneness or seafood not being thoroughly cleaned, but positives far outweigh these moments and the staff typically addresses concerns quickly. Overall Terracotta is described as a standout North African option in the city and a place worth returning to with friends and family.
Service excellent , ambiance conviviale, des plats savoureux & la cerise sur le gâteau était la crème brûlée aux pistaches & miel!! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui cherchent une belle expérience culinaire !

I can tell a restaurant truly cares about what they serve when the details of a dish are just as good as the main ingredient. I ordered the honey lamb, & it was fantastic! The meat, the vegetables, the mashed potatoes-everything was delicious. I highly recommend this place!
L'ensemble était excellent: plat, service, ambiance. Le plat que j'ai commandé était tout simplement un vrai délice des spaghettis comme on en mange chez nous, bien épicés sans être relevés. La crème brûlée aux pistache un éveil des sens. Bravo! Gardez le cap, maintenez la qualité & le service. Je recommande vivement
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 well

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.
Terracotta est un excellent restaurant tunisien qui nous offre une expérience mémorable. Le service est digne d'un restaurant de renom, la nourriture est savoureuse & le décor nous plonge dans un univers où l'ambiance traditionnelle & réconfortante y règne. Je le recommande vivement !
This was my first time eating Tunisian food. Everything was delicious, portions were good & the service was great. The waiter took the time to explain each dish to us. We had the lamb, the trio salad & the merguez. I strongly recommend this place.
Shared the merguez ojja, seafood gargoulette & honey lamb gargoulette between 3 of us. Service was great, & everything was delicious, particularly the merguez ojja.
Great place for a quiet lunch on a hot day. We shared the salad trio & the lamb entree. Both were excellent. & the fresh breads with each was wonderful. Wholeheartedly endorse this place.
Une ambiance & bouffe très originale! Nous étions accueilli par un staff très souriant & professionnel! Nous avons été bien installés dans une table basse pour vivre une expérience unique. La serveuse a bien prise le temps pour nous expliquer le menu. La bouffe à été servi dans un délai très raisonnable & les portions étaient généreuse Nous avons hâte de reveni
Food was excellent & very unique. The waitress took the time & was very excited to explain the menu to us. The food came out very fast, maybe 10-15 minutes. Everything was served in clay pottery & was very pretty. The lamb I ordered was so tender & all the bread they served was handmade fresh today at the restaurant. The music was very nice & not obnoxious. The inside is very nicely decorated with greenery & & pottery. The entire staff was very friendly & smiled at us a lot & checked on us very often.
i tried this place while visiting from vancouver. we don't have many north african options out there so this was a really unique experience for me! the food was great & the service was spectacular. do try the gargoulette - the taste & presentation was great. i tried the lamb chicken & seafood of which seafood was my favourite! the pasta was also really delicious.
Ordered the honey lamb. The lamb came to table, in a pot, dumped onto plate, lamb fell off bone. Great presentation. I tasted all the favors, very yummy!
"Très bon restaurant ! Les plats étaient délicieux, & l'accueil vraiment chaleureux. Le service était rapide & l'ambiance très agréable. Je recommande vivement & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !"
