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!

J'ai été déçue de mon expérience chez Terracotta. Le kafteji était délicieux mais quantité très minime. L'agneau n'était pas cuit dans la goullette, il était juste servi dedans, froid & à peine réchauffé, & la viande était dure. Nous avons aussi dû demander le pain trois fois.
La table était très petite, je n'avais même pas où poser mon sac.
Par contre, le restaurant est propre & le service des serveurs était bon.
Je ne trouve pas les mots pour décrire le bonheur & la sérénité que j'ai ressentis dans ce restaurant. J'ai appelé Slim pour réserver une table, & nous avons parlé comme si nous étions amis d'enfance. Le chef Habib nous a accueillis comme un père ici à Montréal. La nourriture est exceptionnelle, la musique tunisienne soigneusement choisie, l'endroit est très propre & la décoration magnifique. Cinq étoiles amplement méritées.
A tres bientôt
Moi & ma copine nous avons été agréablement surpris par ce restaurant à l'apparence modeste mais vraiment délicieux & accueillant,le service impeccable & la nourriture succulente,je recommande vivement!!😋

Mauvaise expérience , service très long , la bouffe pas fraîche, pour un restaurant qui vise uniquement a servir le dîner, pour 6 heures de travail par jour , très mauvais plan malgré les efforts du gérant & sa politesse, je déconseille cet endroit.
Tried it yesterday for the first time & I was pleasantly surprised with the quality or the food. The
meals had quite a unique flavour which we really enjoyed. Will be going back.
Service impeccable, assiettes bien garnies & excellent rapport qualité-prix. Je recommande vivement à quiconque souhaite voyager en Tunisie : une adresse coup de coeur pour passer une bonne soirée
