A homie place. Food is a delight, as much as the owners heart. We were 10 guests and we had plenty of food, tastes are authentic. It's been in my address book for a while now. Never did they disappoint, as well good on delivery.

amazing food and service. Lamb and chicken was tender and flavourful. Large portion sizes. the Chef's laugh was so wonderfully joyous. The mint tea and sweets instantly transport you to Morocco. To top it off the chef was from Chefchaouen, one of my favourite places in the world. definitely a Montreal must!

My dad used to eat there in 1989. We decided to go together so we could bring memories back and so he could share them with me. Im SO glad we shared this special moment at this AMAZING restaurant ! The owner is amazing and the staff is also always smiling. Im young and dont have the most experience, but of my 26 years of living, this was the best food I ever ate ! The tea was amazing and the couscous royal was delicious. Don’t question it. Just go

This is now my new favorite restaurant in Montreal. Probably its best feature is the talented and gracious chef/host. The food was amazing, with generous portions lovingly presented. The lamb tender & succulent, the Pastilla classic and delicious, and even the "sides" like couscous with braised veggies, superb. You could see that the chef's pride as he presented each course, you'll want to shout BRAVO at the end!

A couscous order here, priced around $30 CAD, is more than sufficient for two dinners, especially the house special Tarot which included Merguez sausage links and a lamb shank, along with a full bowl of broth and vegetables that the meats were stewed in.

Potatoes and carrots were so absolutely tender and nourishing; it's summer time now, but one can only imagine how satisfying this dish might be in colder weather when the benefits would be felt in your bones.

A side of a hot sauce not unlike schrug came with stewed apricots for an addition of earthy heat and balancing sweetness. Let both dissolve into your couscous on the plate, seasoning per serving, rather than adding to the main broth dish.

I am so glad we chose this restaurant for a relaxing family lunch. The owner Noureddine was kind and welcoming. We enjoyed a large, filling meal with cucumber & tomato salad, assorted olives, pastilla au poule, vegetable soup, lamb tagine, kofta meatballs, couscous, chicken over rice, and then topped it off with tea, coffee & dates. Wow! Each dish was better than the last. All the meat was tender, the vegetables were fresh & well-cooked, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The environment is warm and relaxed. I wish we lived in the area so we could come again and again.

I have been wanting couscous for the past couple of days so after a Google search, we settled on Au Tarot. It was quiet, the owner was really nice, friendly and welcoming.
My husband and I ordered the lamb couscous and it was amazing.
The portions are generous and we even took the leftover home. The owner added a little more couscous for us to take home.
Nice discovery 👌 👍 Definitely,we'll go back.
