Tanya and I were in Montreal visiting last weekend. The restaurant was highly recommended to us. We spent an amazing Saturday evening here with their belly dance show dinner. Excellent food and service. The lamb couscous and chicken tajines (which we ordered and shared) is to die for, so delicious. I recommend it for a Saturday night out.
Excellent food, especially their lamb dishes. It is the best lamb stew and shank that I have ever tasted. Nice ambiance and lovely decor.
Excellent food. We tried many times this restaurant during our visit to montreal and everytime it amazes us. We took the couscous royal to share, the lamb tajine and the merguez tajine, and they were all excellent. Their brik and grilled vegetables mash with tuna are excellent appetizers.
Delicious meal, excellent service. We had a lovely dinner at this North African Mediterranean restaurant in Montreal. We enjoyed our lamb tajine and couscous royal while watching the belly dance show. It is also a bring your own wine. Excellent food and affordable reasonable price.
Excellent quality of food. Lamb Tajine and couscous royal were really appreciated by my group of friends and by me too. I also loved their dessert Omali. The belly dance show was really entertaining and it was like a festival. Highly recommended and I will return back whenever I have another visit to Montreal
Very good food and service. We were a group of 8 dining on Saturday night and watching the belly dance show. It is a very good choice. The place turned to a festive fun and cool place when the show started. Everybody went up and danced. Really cool place. And food is really fresh and tasty. Highly recommended.

Normally, anything with ‘salad’ in the title is a quick dismiss, but the description of the Tunisia mechouia salad ($9.25) was so intriguing that I had to try it. First off, the dish is hearty and nothing like the leafy green variety. A medley of grilled vegetable is crushed into a thick paste - when spread onto a pita the topping resembles a less tangy bruschetta. I was a bit taken aback with the flaked tuna and olives topping the dish, yet the meaty tuna, peppery grilled vegetables, and briny olives actually were delicious together. The pita was rather hard, but also holds up against the saucy mixture so you can consume the starter rather cleanly.
For the less adventurous, the chicken brochettes ($19.50) are a safe choice. Essentially grilled chicken skewers, at Menthe et Couscous they’re not overly charred and rather juicy for white meat. The nutty tahini and house salad combining mushrooms, cranberries, walnuts, and a pomegranate dressing makes it different, but hardly wildly seductive.
What will get your mouth moaning is the tajine. Unfortunately, the dome covering it was taken away before I could snap a picture, but it’s essentially a cone shaped lid that helps braise and steam the contents – as the steam rises it’s captures in the vessel and drips back

Great food, fresh ingredients, eclectic decor and very warm and nice ambiance... background music is very nice too.
Tajines are the best there.. I will definitely come back
Best Lamb Tajine ever. My friends took the couscous royal and it was really a good choice.
Great service, and background music. I will definitely return back.
Excellent tagines, with large servings (we had to take some home). We were not aware they sold no wine (it is BYIB), so I had to rush out to get a bottle. Friendly, family staff.
Excellent night yesterday... amazing freshly made food, tajines and couscous (eat as much as you can buffet), tea with fresh mint leafs and baklawa... Belly dance show..
We really had fun at this restaurant.
Highly recommended
Night I will always remember. Great ambiance, excellent food, smiling and friendly staff. I had one of my best nights out in Montreal. We went on Saturday where there was the show "belly dance". Couscous with Lamb was excellent. My friends took the tajin chicken and merguez. both were very good.
The ambiance is a winner... A very good idea for a night out.
