Au Coin Berbère Couscous et tajine à Montréal

What a hidden gem in the Plateau! Fully recommended! I was impressed by the quality and quantity of the dishes served in this restaurant. The service was great and the atmosphere is calm and nice. The decoration of the restaurant is so cozy. Dishes are definitely to be shared, portions are just perfect for two or more people, plus the freshness of the ingredients is remarkable. Don't miss the chance to try this restaurant!

Au Coin Berbere primarly serves couscous in hearty portions. We tried the lamb shank, chicken, and merguez sausages which were all tender and well cooked. Be aware: the service is pretty slow, so dont be in a rush to get somewhere. They dont serve alcohol, but bring your own wine is fun. I wasnt wowed by the flavors, but the portion sizes are large and I enjoyed finding a restaurant with an emphasis on couscous. The food tasted authentic and had a homemade feel. The salade berbere was nice with the figs. For vegetarians: be sure to order the one that is vegetables with a fully vegetarian broth. The maghrebi tea was delicious, served very hot and poured with skill. The interior is well decorated, though there were some precariously places pots near the window side. The restaurant is close enough to Place des Arts that its very walkable.

Excellent !!! I give this restaurant 5 stars ! We have just had dinner at “Au Coin Berbère” in Montreal and had an exceptional experience. I ordered the lamb tagine, and it was a delightful journey to the Maghreb with every bite. The flavors were rich and authentic, truly transporting me to North Africa. My daughter had the chicken couscous, and she absolutely loved it! The dish was full of taste, generous and bursting with flavors. We paired our meal with some refreshing mint tea (see photos), which was the perfect complement to our dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant! You’ll feel welcomed ! What a fantastic discovery ! And I love that little street / plaza where it is located. If you’re looking for a taste of authentic Berber cuisine, Au Coin Berbère is a must-visit. I suggest to make a reservation, bon appétit 😊

Some of the very best couscous of Montreal, using quality ingredients and showcasing superb cooking skills. And the restaurant is nicely decorated. Superb service as well. I will be back!

The restaurant was amazing, and the service was exceptional. These guys do a great job representing their Berber traditions and food. The lamb couscous was fantastic, and the portion size was generous. It was my first experience at Au Coin Berber, and it won't be the last, I will certainly come back.

The couscous was delicious, and the baklawa may have been one of the best I've ever had. So good!! Wish i took pictures to add here. Also the service was great :) Merci!

This upstairs restaurant makes great use of their space. The decor here is wonderfully done and emulates the exotic grace of North African culture. The gentleman who served us was also superb, I don't think he spoke English but fortunately I was with bilingual company this time. The menu is quite small and focused. They do not offer Tajines anymore per the older menu, only couscous dishes and their sides. I was disappointed by the meat portions. Lots of perfectly fluffly couscous to fill up on but the meat quantity was shy. Good quality to the meats though (we had merguez and lamb shank). Compared to other Maghrebi restaurants I have tried, this one did not compare well unfortunately.

I had a wonderful experience at Au Coin Berbère Couscous. The staff are warm, friendly and provide excellent service. It was my first time at their restaurant and I will be back. Being alone I decided to simply have the Lamb and Merguez with Couscous. The portion was large and very delicious and the in house made Merguez Sausage was exceptional. I highly recommend trying theirs.
