Dined early in the evening while passing through Quebec; very friendly service and tasty food. The waitress spoke only French but the menu had English. Small and charming place. We had lamb and sausage wrap combos. My husband's favorite was the potato side -- delicious! But all good, Nice combination of salad, potatoes, and wrap. Made our evening enjoyable.

This was such a comforting dinner. With the mint tea and a dessert at the end. It's really delicious and filling. The staff didn't speak English but we were able to order without any problem. Just use a picture of the food you want if in doubt 😀

If you don't speak French, you may not have a positive experience here. There was no urgency to have guests sit down, take their order etc. Once ordered, we waited 50 minutes for our food (which parts may not have been correct since they had run out of ingredients). The reviews of the incredible food had convinced us to wait, but all in all, it was nothing to write home about. We had ordered the Mezenge (sausage) plate and the Special Combo/Trio (chicken).

I wanted to give 5 stars for the food and service as they were excellent. But when we got back to hotel we found they mis-calculated the bill. Some of the prices listed on the bill do not match the prices listed on the menu. Not sure if they didn’t update their menu after adjusting the price or sth else. Or maybe it’s because the person who took our order wasn’t the person who typed in our order. I hope they can update their pos machine. But the food was fantastic.

I recently discovered this restaurant in Quebec that instantly reminded me of the flavors of my country, Tunisia. The traditional ambiance of the place made me feel like I wasn’t far from home, The service was exceptional, and the food was beyond delicious, capturing the authentic taste of Tunisian cuisine in every bite. It felt like a comforting connection to home, right in the heart of Quebec.

Best north African food in Quebec city. I highly recommend having their couscous and the salata mishwia (grilled salad) and the basbousa as a dessert (the basbousa tastes like heaven). Basically me and my family tried almost the whole menu 🤣, we stayed 3days in Quebec and we kept going back for their delicious food. Chicken pita was great too. The staff are nice especially Salwa, she is SO SWEET AND HOSPITABLE. The prices are reasonable.

My dining experience at Carthage Express was a delightful journey through authentic Tunisian flavors. The falafel wrap was a perfect blend of crisp textures and fresh ingredients, while the couscous with three meats was a fragrant and tender masterpiece. Service was exceptional and the staff are so friendly as well. I liked that the baguette was hot, freshly pulled out of the oven and the dessert with some mint tea was just sublime. Carthage Express beautifully captures the essence of Tunisia in every bite.

I would like to recommend Carthage Express restaurant to you if you are in Quebec city. My experience with the restaurant was amazing. The staff were supper friendly, welcoming you and helping you to choose the food you like. Then, the food comes to facinat you with the Tunisian flavor as you are at home. You will experience special desserts and will definitely come back to this restaurant. Authentic tunisian food with wonderfully tunisian decoration.

A magnificent discovery in the heart of Old Quebec! Carthage Express transported us directly to Tunisia with its authentic specialties, prepared with care and generosity. Each dish was a delight, perfectly balanced flavors and impeccable presentation. The warm and refined oriental decor creates an immersive ambiance that perfectly complements the culinary experience. Special mention for the staff, always smiling, attentive and professional, who knew how to make our visit even more pleasant. An essential address for lovers of authentic Tunisian cuisine. Well done to the whole team!!!

A hidden gem of vieux Québec! Enjoyed the delicious taste of Tunisian and Mediterranean cuisine. Their signature Macaroni with stuffed squid and the Couscous dishes are a must.

The waiter, looking rather austere, with black square glasses attacked me at the end to find out if I had paid even though I had paid his mother at the counter (as if I was a thief lol! ) The atmosphere is dark and gloomy and the taste is really not great. In short, it doesnt represent Tunisia in any way!

Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Bad welcome! At the entrance the man who prepares the dishes looked at me with an angry look, not even a quick hello!!! No one showed up to order...I had to go find someone to place my order and finally I got a very hard, almost crunchy pita sandwich and to pay I also had to wait and call the lady myself! And unfortunately she put the machine in front of me and went to the back of the kitchen without asking me if everything was okay for me or not! Really disappointed

Very disappointed, as a cold start, we ordered a shrimp ojja, order served after 40 min, liquid ojja resembling a soup, 5 liters of oil served with pita bread!!!!! When I mentioned that this type of bread is not used to eat ojja, the answer was simply we dont have any bread today!!! Why not warn the customer before placing an order, and the lady as soon as we arrive keeps offering us couscous. Adding that the ojja was spiced by the tebel never seen before. ????

Incredible food served by lovely people. The Shish Taouk/Chicken was delicious and well worth the price. The woman who helped us recommended the Couscous which was exceptional. We chose the Royale Couscous which comes with lamb, chicken, sausage, some carrots, and potatoes, and everything was perfect. We came for lunch and it was quick and priced very well for the large portion.

Come eat in this Tunisian restaurant. You wont regret it. On the contrary, you will have the chance to travel in time and space. The traditional dishes, spicy tastes and authentic setting will take you back to the countryside, immerse you in childhood nostalgia, and relive the memories of family meals. The place is very well located (in the heart of the old port of Quebec, a very touristy place with a lot of charm, day and night). The staff is very welcoming. I highly recommend the restaurant.

If youre looking for a culinary experience that captures the vibrant flavors of Tunisia, this restaurant is a must-visit. I had the pleasure of enjoying a lunch that included shish taouk pita, couscous, and Moitei/Moitei. The food was simply excellent, with the shish taouk perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, wrapped in a thin bread. The vegetable couscous was light and fluffy, yet rich in flavor, complementing the main dish beautifully.But it wasnt just the food that made the experience memorable; the service was also top-notch. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure every detail of the meal was to our satisfaction. Overall, this restaurant offers a delightful taste of Tunisia, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

I came from Japan for a trip, and it was the first time I tasted Tunisian cuisine. It was the best meal I ate in Quebec and the one that left the biggest impression on me. I regret not asking the name of each dish in the salad, which was prepared with different kinds of vegetables. The chicken pita wrap was also delicious, and I always want to eat it again. Its a shame I cant find any in Japan. I am extremely grateful to the staff, who were very friendly despite the fact that I do not speak French. Im really happy to have gone there. Thank you so much !

I came to this restaurant after comparing it to nearby restaurants to enjoy delicious food and a unique experience.

The atmosphere is quiet, the prices are cheap, and the quality is better than other nearby restaurants. The service is so friendly that I cant express it in words. We ordered the 3 dishes above. I liked the couscous the best. Other companions said the red food was delicious. I really recommend this restaurant!!

Carthage Express in Quebec City offers an authentic taste of Tunisia that truly impressed me and my family. As a Tunisian, I found the flavors to be spot on. We tried the Brik, which was perfectly crispy with a delicious filling, the smoky and refreshing Slata Méchouia, and the flavorful Chakchouka avec Merguez Tunisienne, with just the right amount of spice. Each dish transported us back home, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. If youre looking for genuine Tunisian cuisine, Carthage Express is a must-visit!

We were visiting Quebec City for a day and stumbled upon this special restaurant. I was trying to find a place that would provide a unique experience and is not touristy, and this place went well above my expectations. The waitress was so kind and took the time to explain all the items on the menu and what the traditional dishes are. We ended it up getting one combo plate (half and half) and the vegetarian couscous. The flavors were wonderful, portions were generous, and the mint tea was fresh and fragrant. We ended our meal with a couple of Tunisian desserts that were so nutty and indulgent. Thank you for making our day to Quebec City so memorable! Vegetarian options: Numerous delicious vegetarian dishes Can also add falafel to vegetarian dishes

A must-try! Worth the walk from Old Quebec. We ordered the special combo (Shish Taouk pita with half Greek Potatoes and half Oriental Salad), mixed meat plates and Royale couscous and Beef Kafta pita and everything was delicious. The people here are very nice and helpful - none of our party speaks French and not all staff speaks English but they tried their best to accommodate us. Food took a bit to come but only because it was busy at dinnertime. Very affordable too. Will come back next time we re in Quebec.

Everyone in my group agreed the food was delicious, which makes our experience there all the more unfortunate. A man behind the counter asked one of my friends her number as we ordered. Our server also told us as he set down our orders that his friend wanted to talk with her. These interactions made my friend (and the rest of our party) extremely uncomfortable, and we hastened to leave as soon as we finished eating. Beware of the staff s unprofessional behavior if you are considering eating here.

Potatoes were crunchy with great seasoning. Some of the tastiest falafel we ve had. The bread for the wrap was toasted and slightly crispy. The sauce was yummy. This was the perfect amount for two people to share. Forgot to take a picture before eating. Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian falafel. Not sure if it was vegan.

Salad in the special shish taouk is tasty with acidity unfortunately In the salad that comes with the sandwich it tastes a lot like cinnamon..

The best restaurant I tried in Quebec. The owner is very kind and welcoming. The dishes are delicious and the price is very fair. Here you can eat very well and balanced for less than $20. This is quite rare for this city.

A little gem worth a small detour off the tourist trails. A very happy owner serving with genuine enthusiasm was a delight. The prices are very reasonable in terms of portions and quality of the food. The couscous Royale was deemed excellent and my shish tawouk platter with lovely roast potatoes and 3 different salads was just the right amount and very yummy. If you want something a bit different and quite authentically Arabic (Tunisian in this case), make the effort. Only open until 7pm but you can get take-away too! Recommend highly.

I strongly recommend it. Please come and try it if you have the opportunity. It will make you feel revitalised.

I was so excited to learn about this restaurant. This place is a bit off the main tourist area, but is worth a visit if you want to try some North African food. Unfortunately for English speakers, the menu is all in French, but I showed the guy a picture of what I wanted and he made it for me. Never had a Shwarma done like this before. The food was tasty and reasonably priced, but the portions were a bit small. I also found it strange that there were no knives at the table. But overall, good experience.

Excellent food and the nicest guy in the world who served us. Highly recommend the Tunisian sausage pita (its a little spicy), and my wife loved the lamb pita. We got a trio and the pitas came with a drink, cold slaw, a bean salad of some sort and great potatoes. 5 of us ate and filled up for ~$70. Fantastic value for money. And did I mention the nicest guy in the world? I can always support a business with great people running it. Go check it out.

We arrived at this place after 6 p.m. and it closes at 7 p.m. The chef let us in and was happy to take our order. We were surprised at the prime location and the beautiful decor from Tunisia and Morocco. They dont have an overwhelming selection of food but what they do was delicious. Very good value for money. Service was excellent and quick. Highly recommended!

After walking around old Quebec for a couple hours, I inevitably got hungry and instead of paying a premium at one of those tourist traps by Chateau Frontenac, I decided to come here.

The food was good we came specially for the royal couscous but he said he didn t have it. We just had the sausage and salad plate with potatoes, i liked the salads more than anything else. Sausage were kinds spicy.I didn t like how the guy was making the sandwich with his bare hands and then during the sandwich making he would touch the fridge get something and put it in the microwave. There was only one guy doing everything! The place needed to be cleaner and nicer not enough of lights.

Came across this place while searching on google reviews and this did not disappoint. We ordered the trio special which consists of pita sandwich+ beverage+ potatoes or salad (please take the potatoes for the ultimate experience). The food is great and filling and the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. Since it is a bit far from the busy area, you can enjoy your food calmly. Would definitely recommend !

I didnt want to have burgers, pizza, or Italian for dinner, which seems to be the common theme at restaurants in this part of town. So, I decided to try this place that sells Tunisian food. I enjoy my sausage plate - the carrot salad has raisins and the coleslaw tastes fresh. I like the crunchy spice potatoes the most. My partner tried the pita chicken, which turns out to be a delicious great smelling chicken roll. This is certainly a great place that sells low cost but tasty food in this part of town. It offers many dining tables for customers who prefer to dine in. Note this restaurant does not provide table service.

I didnt want to spend $26. Or higher for a diner plate- since it was going back to my hotel I Googled restaurants on the way I found this little spot I wasnt expecting much, I ordered the Speacil Trio Shish Taouk Oh my gosh, it was really good! The fresh are potatoes season wonderfully. The staff is very pleasant. The restaurant is simple, extremely casual, which was perfect after a long day of walking throughout Quebec Their prices are good. Very reasonable!

Great portions and prices, excellent meal. Kindly accommodated all 13 of us when I made a last-minute ask over the phone 10 mins before arrival. It was a Wednesday night, and they must not have been expecting many since only one employee was there and a few other customers. This solo man took all our orders, put tables together, and made superb food and delivered it to all of us at the same time. He truly made our night after a dumb trip wandering through the city thinking that our group could find a place without reservations. Our talented saviour! Vegetarian options: Falafel is a delicious option, and I believe that there are salads as well.
