Café Ô Tajine

My friends and I were visiting Montréal and we decided to look for a Moroccan restaurant. Café Ô Tajine was highly rated so we came here. One of my friends is a pescatarian, but she had no problem finding something to eat on the menu. My friends ate vegetable samosas and the falafel sandwiches. The falafel sandwich was in a wrap and it was served grilled like a panini. I had a vegetable platter with potatoes, carrots, onions, peas and green olives over couscous. It was delicious. My friends loved the falafel wraps and the samosas. We would definitely eat here again if we visit Montreal again. The place is very small with seating for maybe 12-14 people. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They chatted with us and by the time we were ready to leave, we were all laughing and joking with the staff. If you live in the area or visiting from out of town and you are looking for a small Moroccan restaurant with a casual atmosphere, i would recommend that you try Café Ô Tajine.

The best unexpected find! We ordered mint tea, braised beef tajine with prunes, couscous with lamb sausage, harira lentil soup, and Moroccan salad. We absolutely loved the braised beef tajine with prunes and got a second one. Very reasonably priced and wonderful service. We’ll for sure be back!! 10/10 would highly recommend

Excellent service. The food here was really simple and healthy. Subtle flavor and easy to eat. Moroccan food doesn't have explosive flavor though so don't expect that. Also, the lamb tajine wasn't available le so I got the couscous with lamb instead. Bummer. My girl got the lamb sa with which was had a pretty nice flavor and good, crispy bread.

We had a wonderful dining experience at Café O Tajine in Montreal! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the tajine – boeuf braisé aux pruneaux — the beef was incredibly tender and perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the prunes. The pastilla was also a highlight, with its flaky pastry and rich, flavorful filling. To finish it all off, the thé à la menthe was refreshing and authentic, served just the way it should be. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving traditional Moroccan cuisine!

Delicious and satiating! Well worth the little extra wait time that comes with home made meals. Looking forward to coming again and trying other dishes!

Beautiful little Moroccan restaurant and cafe! The chicken sandwich is incredible, as are the selection of desserts, but the real surprise was the mint tea -- absolutely delicious! The family running this place are also so sweet and kind and welcoming. Will definitely be back again soon!

A small place. If you do not know about it you would almost miss it. Did not have tanjine, takes longer to cook. Just a chicken sandwich. There is a choice of restaurants on this stretch of Rue Ontario. Moroccan is not easy to find in my city. The sandwich was fine, I would have liked more green vegetables. In retrospect , I should have picked something more Moroccan.

I found this place on Google Maps while searching for a place to eat after visiting the Jardin Botanique. I was attracted by its down-to-earth vibe and the high ratings, and overall, I was not disappointed! The restaurant is really small and easy to miss, with only a few tables, but still enough space for our party of five. The owner/staff immediately welcomed us and was very friendly and courteous to us throughout the meal, bearing with our French skills and allowing us to practice our French. We started with Moroccan mint tea, which was really good and a must-have whenever going to Moroccan restaurants. Shoutout to the granny who served us and poured us tea! I ordered a tajine - a big note here that the tajine here is not how they would be made in Morocco! The tajine here comes with couscous at the bottom, whereas authentic tajine does not include couscous. The owner explained that they wanted to adapt to local styles. That, in my view, makes the tajine/couscous choices on the menu a bit meaningless, and you might be disappointed if you're looking for authentic tajine. However, if you adjust your expectations, you will find that the dish is extremely tasteful, and in any case, I thought it was a good thing as I liked both tajine and couscous, and I no longer needed to make a choice between the two! I would also highly recommend saving some space in your stomach to taste a few of the assorted Moroccan sweets, which are nicely laid out on top of the counter. Each one looked and tasted different and it was a great experience even trying to figure out what each one was and savouring the different sweet tastes. Also, we stayed until a bit after 8, but the staff never rushed us. Thank you for the hospitality!
