Un excellent restaurant. La nourriture est délicieuse & de très bonne qualité. Tout était si délicieux: la gargoulette d'agneau, la salade tunisienne, le pain, Fricassé, la brika, la crème brûlée & le thé. Le service est exceptionnel. Vivement recommandé!

Such an amazing experience! The owner himself served us & shared cool & interesting stories about his culture & the food. Everything was fresh & delicious, & the way it was presented really made it feel like we were in Tunisia, not Montreal. Highly recommend!
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 10
Moi & mon mari sommes venu manger & le service étais excellent ! La nourriture 5 étoiles , je recommande fortement le brick au crevettes & la soupe chorba . Définitivement la meilleure en ville . en repas principale nous avons prit l'agneau & la merguez WOW super ! Nous reviendrons à coup sur je recommande :)

Everything about our experience was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, & the portion sizes were just right. The environment was incredibly cozy, especially the bench seating, which was a delight to use & added to the overall charm. Sabri provided exceptional service-he was kind, attentive, & incredibly helpful. He patiently explained every dish in detail, making our experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place & cannot wait to return to explore more of the menu.
J'ai essayé leur spécialité des lieux, la gargoulette agneau miel, le serveur a bien expliqué les plats. C'était délicieux. La décoration & l'ambiance est super chaleureuse. Je recommande!
Très bonne adresse que je recommande Plats tunisiens succulents, menu varié, portion généreuse, service de qualité & un très beau décor. En famille ou entre amis, ça vaut le détou
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!

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 !
Une véritable découverte culinaire ! Les plats sont authentiques, savoureux & généreux. La brik, le couscous & les fricassée sont particulièrement délicieux. Le service est rapide & l'ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande vivement !
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!
