| - Because we are planning a trip to Morocco later this year, we were happy to find a Moroccan restaurant to visit during a business trip to Montreal since it would give us a chance to try out some Moroccan dishes. We started with the soupe harira (tomato, lentils, and chickpeas), which was flavorful and comforting. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of cilantro, which complemented the soup well. For my main dish (and upon the recommendation of the waitress), I had the pastilla de poulet. I have never had this dish before, and it was absolutely delightful. I never would have expected that chicken, sugar, cinnamon, and onions would go so well together, but the combination of the sweet and savory was wonderful. It was accompanied by angel hair pasta with cinnamon and raisins (I think), which was delicious as well. Dessert was small pastries and traditional Moroccan mint tea--the perfect finish to our meal. Our waitress was friendly and helpful in providing advice on what to order. I very much enjoyed this restaurant and appreciate them serving us such an excellent meal. It was a great way to kick off our trip to Montreal.
