Wow. Extraordinarily delicious, flavorful, perfectly cooked leg of lamb tagine with prunes and…read moreapricots was the star of the meal. The prunes lend a mild sweetness to the rich flavorful sauce spiced with cinnamon etc. A bowl of rice on the side and pita allow you to soak up the juices. The meat falls off the bone. The staff is kind and friendly. They offered us a glass of tea. The glasses and tray weee so gorgeous, we all admired them and I took some pics to capture the beauty. The price is so reasonable. Go there and you won't regret it. Unfortunately, we were too full to try the baklava. Thumbs up.

The best Moroccan food, I ever had so far. We had the couscous and kofta kabobs and enjoyed both.read more

Located up a small road off of Rue Saint-Jean, the restaurant is but a small pocket…read more I came for the lamb couscous but apparently they don't serve that anymore (despite it still being on the menu). I opted for the prince's couscous which had lamb and chicken, she got the pastilla. We also got some Moroccan mint tea. The tea came out pretty sweet, like a southern sweet tea. But the mint was fresh and tasted great. Unfortunately, we had to suffer through some fairly loud and high-pitched Moroccan music while waiting on our food. I'm sad to report that my food was basically reheated leftovers. I heard the microwave door slamming and could tell my chicken was definitely reheated because it was dry, hard, and not warmed all the way through. The couscous itself was fresh but wasn't fluffy-- it had enough wetness to it that it just wasn't right. My wife got the pastilla, a new dish for her. It was probably the freshest-made item, but not her thing since it was basically ground chicken and parsley in a pastry dusted with cinnamon and almonds. The wife was our waitress and she was sweet. She spoke very little English, so her husband translated from the back of the restaurant. The husband running the restaurant was snapping green beans and dropped one, I watched as he picked it up off the floor and placed it into the bowl with the other beans. The issue for us is that he seemed to have very little care for his restaurant and his customers. In all, we would not return.

We were wandering around the old city of Quebec looking for someplace to enjoy a nice meal. We did…read morenot have any reservations but thought it would not be difficult to find a place on Sunday night. Boy, were we wrong!! After much aimless wandering around we found this place. It was definitely not on the list for tourists as it was only half full when we got there, and everyone but us were local (speaking French). We had not planned or even thought of a Moroccan restaurant while in Vieux Quebec but (spoiler) we were very glad we did! We ordered the mixed sampler for appetizer, and a couscous royal and lamb and artichoke tagine. The appetizer was excellent! A mixture of clearly homemade items, all of which were delicious without exception! The lamb tagine was excellent, as was the couscous. Both were hearty plates infused with subtle spices leading to an excellent result. Better than most places I have eaten in Morocco. Like most Moroccan restaurants, alcohol is not served. However, customers are welcome to bring their own. As for the main courses, both were outstanding! If you like Moroccan food, or want to try something different and delicious, this place is for you!! Very reasonably priced, intimate interior atmosphere, and highly personal service by the wife of Redouan the owner/chef, Khadija. Highly recommended!! 5/5.
