There were pita wraps on the menu as well as couscous, but my choice was the mixed meat platter, which came with sliced chicken breast and a meaty, tender slice of roasted lamb leg, along with fried potatoes tossed in seasoning, a spicy aioli for dipping, and three different kinds of salads: a white cabbage slaw, a carrot slaw with cranberries, and a mixed bean salad. The chicken was on the dry side, but the lamb was tender, the potatoes were nicely seasoned, and the salads were all fresh and delicious. Though slow, the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere felt exotic with oriental decorations throughout the dining room.

Our orders were 2 x lamb Gyros, one beef and cheese, and one chicken. Ordering at the counter was quick and all of our orders were ready for garnishing in under 5-minutes. The veggies were fresh, the sauce flavourful, and the flatbread warm and wonderfully crisped. The sandwich fit perfectly into our hands and went down deliciously. About half way through our meals everyone agreed that what we were having tasted like 'another one'. However, by the time we were done everyone had their hunger satisfied. (We were a bit disappointed that another one was no longer needed.) Decor is utilitarian yet on the warm side, the restaurant is not large but we there was enough seating for our party of 4 to sit together comfortably. We'd definitely come back.

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.

There are plenty of comfortable booths, along with a separate dining area with tables that easily accommodates larger groups. The service was exceptional. As English-speaking visitors, we really appreciated that they immediately brought us an English menu, making us feel welcome from the start. The food was outstanding. We ordered the filet mignon kebabs, served with salad, rice, and fingerling potatoes, and every single item was cooked perfectly. The flavors were excellent, and the portions were generous. This is a bring-your-own-wine restaurant, which seems to be a favorite with the locals--and that's always a great sign. It didn't feel like a tourist destination at all, but rather a place where people from the community genuinely enjoy dining. If you're looking for delicious food, outstanding service, and a warm, elegant atmosphere, I highly recommend this restaurant. It was one of our favorite meals in Quebec.
