    I'm baffled by the poor reviews here. I really loved this place! Came on a Monday night and sat…read moreoutside on the terrasse. The "Antipasto Olivia" was excellent - a perfect variety of olives, nuts, veggies, cheese etc. I had the Linguini Gigi, and my husband had the steak tartare. We both loved our meals! The pasta was perfectly al dente and very tasty, but... a bit salty. The wine list is good (I enjoyed the Bourgogne), but the beer options are totally lacking. What a crap list of tap options. Such a shame. The food was really great, and the wait staff couldn't have been friendlier! Everyone we dealt with was super nice and chatty, bilingual, and just overall number 1. Give it a try. Srsly.

    The decor and setting is very nice and great for a little romantic evening. My only complaint was…read morethat the tables are a bit too close together which made getting in and out of seats a bit uncomfortable. We started off with drinks and the Brie appetizer which were great. The Brie while on the pricey side was well presented and very tasty. It was definitely the high point of the meal. My husband ordered the creamy pizza and I ordered the Mediterranean penne. Our food arrived and I had Mediterranean linguine (not penne as ordered). The pizza was a bit bland and the crust seemed like a store bought naan bread crust. At 18$ we expected a better pizza. The pasta was flavourful and worth the price but it was nothing extraordinary. The service was fast and our waiter was great. Overall, our supper was pleasant but a tad overpriced for what we got. We will likely give it another go sometime in the future.

    Last week we tried Tanoura for the first time and had an amazing experience!!…read more Tanoura is a cute family-owned Egyptian restaurant located in the West Island of Montreal. They usually have a dine-in option but their their dining area is currently closed due to covid. Nonetheless, you can still enjoy their delicious food by taking your food to go! You can also order their food on UberEats and Doordash! Based on the recommendations of the owner, we tried the following dishes: - Fava bean falafels - Mulukhiyah - Egyptian bread - Kushari (rice, lentils, chickpeas, noodles, tomato sauce and fried onions) - Bachamel (ground beef mixture, noodles and bachamel sauce) - Zalabia (puffy fritters soaked in syrup) This was our first time having Egyptian food and we were blown away. Everything was bursting with color and flavor. The falafels were incredible, especially when eaten inside the Egyptian bread and smothered with tahini (a spread made of ground sesame seeds). It was so good we bought ourselves a second serving to bring home!! The bachamel was also extremely delicious. They typically make it in a larger platter, which makes the dish great for catering and feeding big groups! And the zalabia was a perfect way to end the meal! The food alone merits a stellar review but the owners are what makes this place so special. Both of them were so welcoming and kind when we showed up, and took the time to make sure we were happy with the food. Miriam especially was super sweet and you could tell she truly loves what she's doing. Both of them are beautiful people and make Tanoura a beautiful place to eat. Overall, we had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Egyptian cuisine in the West Island!!

    Visiting Cairo! Egyptian food in the west island !  * video Swipe right*…read more They serve traditional egyptian cuisine and even a popular street food called Kushari.  It is basically a simple dish made with lentils, rice, pasta in a flavorful tomato sauce , topped with fried onions.   I enjoyed karkade juice. It is hibiscus juice prepared in its very egyptian way. The flowers are imported directly from Sudan and have all kinds of health benefits. The fava bean falafel was crispy  and served with tahini and the soup . I got the chance to taste molokhia soup, a green soup made from minced jews/jute mallow leaves and cooked in broth. The quality of the broth was there, simmered for hours. Had wedding dessert Om Ali made with phyllo dough, milk and nuts. There is no wedding without this desert. It is my first time having Egyptian cuisine. I usually have the known Lebanese cuisine. I was very happy about my experience. I think this is the closest traditional food I can get unless I get invited to a friend's house. Tanoura is owned by a lovely couple,  they ve been around for over 7 years. I saw pick ups from  elders egyptians. It is a good indicator. This restaurant have closed their dining section and so you will have to do pick ups. A good recommendation if you would like to try Mediterranean food/drinks/desserts from Egypt and you are in West Island or nearby.  *Ubereats, Doordash, Skip the dishes. . .

    Top 5 dining experience of my life! We started with the fattoush, which turned my salad-hating…read morehusband into a believer. We followed that up with the batata harra, which were spicy, acidic, crispy little morsels of perfection. We rounded out the meal with the lamb and hummus dish, along with the filet mignon and little pickled peppers. Everything was perfection. Beyond the amazing food, the restaurant itself was beautiful and service was friendly, attentive, but never intrusive or annoying. These guys are doing everything right. I don't know when I'll be back in Montreal, but I can promise I will be right back here when that happens.
