A neighbourhood café-restaurant at 3343 Jean-Talon Est with the easy rhythm of a place that knows its regulars well. The menu runs from strong coffee and mint tea to merguez sandwiches, hearty Algerian plates, and daily soups — all at prices that make it one of the better lunch deals in the area. The loubia, a Moroccan white bean stew, is particularly good on a cold day. The kitchen turns out Algerian food that earns its reputation as among the best in Quebec.
