We are from Boston, Massachusetts and wanted to try authentic Moroccan food in Montreal. This place exceeded all expectations! My boyfriend was born and raised in Morocco and can attest to authenticity. As soon as we walked in, the owner introduced himself and addressed us by our names. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the service was just spectacular. Must haves are the couscous, kefta and Moroccan tea amongst all of their other delicious foods. Everything we got was a 10/10. We would visit a lot more if we were closer. read more

If you are looking for the ambiance and look of a Moroccan restaurant you found it. Unfortunately that is all it had to offer. The food does not taste anything like Moroccan food if you have been to Morocco or had a home cooked meal. The cuisine is from the essouria region and I am used to Rabat or Casablanca, either way go to Bazaar Cafe if you want Moroccan food that is good. read more

Wife and I found this place on Yelp. It was our first dinner in Montreal. We were very happy with food and A-Mazing service. 5 reasons I want you to visit and I'll be back. 1. Decor is very unique. It's Moroccan North African. 2. We ordered soup which was delicious and filling. Ask for "Harissa" if you wanna add spice to it. 3. Olives and bread were good too. 4. We were so full but I wanted to try merguez (North African sausage my favorite) They were so nice they just brought some as tapas instead of us asking to place the full order. 5. Tea was amazing. Full halal establishment. Enjoy your meal there. read more

we were there with my wife and son for the first seating. It was very clear when we reserved that it is 6 to 8 pm and that we had to be gone by 8. No problem there, message understood. From the moment we got there at 6, we kept being reminded that we would have to be gone by 8. Then the tune changed and our deadline to leabe turned into 7:45, which was never what was told to us when we made the reservation. We asked for a mint tea at 7:30, which the waitress refused to serve us, because she said we weren't allowed to order anything past 7:45 . I spoke with the owner who said he made a mistake and thought it was 8 When we tried to order the tea (it was 7:30). whatever, this is total BS. Definitely not recommend if you're looking for a fun outing and relaxing experience. Too bad because the food is good. read more

A moroccan/algerian lunch is the best way to please my dad for his birthday. We had already sampled another restaurant the year before, so this year, it was Mogador's turn. We wanted to put luck on our side and arrived 10 minutes after the opening over the week-end. The place was predictably empty and we lounged about, right behind the lovely window. The decor is quite beautiful, and if the wait gets long, you can always grab books! The regular couscous is just that, the royal couscous is where it's at though! I don't remember now what were the extras, but man it was rich, filling, and piping hot! I had the apricot tajine, and while it was delicious - equally piping hot- you should know it contains what is on the menu in the strictest sense: apricots, lamb, almonds. That's all folks! No veggies anywhere. The ice cream served in a lemon is inspired, but came straight from the freezer, so we looked at it for a long time. What really bothered us was that the waiter/cook/owner came around mid-meal to ask us to change tables - in an empty restaurant. He apologized and explained that the large table was reserved for a birthday, but uh, we were celebrating too.. The people never did show up. I guess it's on us for not having reservations, but we didn't want to party either. Either way, maybe going there for lunch, right as it opens it's a good idea :/ read more

For our friend's birthday, we were desperately trying to find somewhere to eat around Villeray / Rosemont that wasn't too expensive... at around 10:45PM. By the time we found this restaurant, they were closing but still chose to let us in, which was great. There was a group of people just dancing with loud moroccan music in the middle of the restaurant which I loved seeing! They added a special touch to the whole moroccan experience. We were seated at these low, adorable, golden tables (that were actually kinda small for the six of us, but we managed to eat at the same table) and on absolutely confortable seats. The low lighting made it more intimate for us and was perfect for the occasion and the decorations just made us feel like we were elsewhere completely. Also, the staff was so sweet even though we came in so late. When the food came, it was really hot, but my tajine was absolutely delicious, although I wasn't completely full. Unfortunately, there were some other meals that weren't that good, and were just plain and okay. We still really had fun in this restaurant, and I'd still go back and carefully choose my meals just to enjoy the festive atmosphere! read more

After wandering for places open later when I arrived (not many are in Montreal apparently), this was the best option for not too crowded and inviting. I felt like i was back in Zanzibar with all the Arabic decorations, and the tables are big gold platters. Good thing my friend spoke French to help me order, there were a lot of meaty and veggie options, very filling for a decent price. I had the lamb and prunes which was a sweet combo, plenty of bread to wipe it up with. The cocktail selections were rather generic and they didn't have the more exotic options, orange juice with vodka was what I ended up with. There was a big birthday party and a lot of singing which made it a fun atmosphere in the background. Slow and relaxing pace. read more

I've been a fan of this place since it's opening. From the moment you open the door you are in another world, the smell, the lights, the tables, the decor it's amazing. Love their couscous, the tajines, the pastillas, the Mogador Tea and the orange blossom pudding. The portions are a little small it's the only downer. I'm a fan read more

What I really enjoyed about it is the atmosphere. People were dancing and welcoming us the moment we stepped in that restaurant. Our orders came faster than I expected and for a person who has never eaten Moroccan food, I was really eager to try my couscous. At first, it was good. The taste was very different from the couscous I normally eat, but because it was very dry I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I was. However, that won't stop me from trying another Moroccan meal! read more

The food was amazing and their staff was very helpful! Very nice ambience and seating arrangement. I recommend it highly!

Food was delicious, especially for the price. Service was friendly, although some errors were made in pricing. Ambience was excellent.

Lamb couscous is excellent and very tasty. Great service. Love this restaurant in winter where comfort food is what's needed
