Review Summary

Carthage Express is widely regarded by visitors as a hidden gem in Quebec City, celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Tunisian cuisine, which many patrons describe as homemade and delicious. Guests frequently praise the high quality of dishes like couscous, Ojja, and Shish Taouk, often highlighting the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the genuine kindness of the staff. While the majority of reviews are glowing regarding the affordable prices, generous portions, and beautiful traditional decor, a small number of visitors have noted inconsistencies in portion sizes, occasional service challenges during busy periods, or a lack of clarity regarding menu specials. Despite these isolated experiences, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, with many diners expressing a strong desire to return for the unique spices and hospitable environment.

What can I say? Absolutely sublime.
My partner & I ordered Ojja avec Merguez, Couscous avec Poulet & Sandwich Tawouk. The flavours, textures, & temperature were PERFECT. This is the epitome of authentic, homemade delight; food cooked with love & care.

I have never had chicken this tender & juicy, nor couscous with enough bite & exploding notes of spices.

You cannot miss out on Carthage Experience!

Great quality ingredients it felt like a genuine home cooked meal absolutely delicious! The chicken was so tender & the food arrived so fast. Also insane prices!! You would pay 15-20$ for a proper full meal. Highly recommend!!

Came to Quebec City a few months back for a trip with friends & easily one of, if not the best meal I had in the city. The restaurant interior was very nice was decorated with art, carvings, & motifs from Tunisia & North Africa. Community seemed tight-knit between the owners & regular customers & I really respected the hospitality from the restaurant managers. Our group even got a complementary salad (not sure if this was because our group was ~7 though). I ordered the Couscous Tunisien which was around 23 CAD, the dish had an amazing flavor with hearty chunks of lamb & potatoes to combo the couscous. Portion size was definitely worth the price-or even more-& the manager even offered to wrap our seconds with plastic wrap on an aluminum tin so we could take some back to the hotel. Overall, I recommend Carthage Express to anyone visiting Quebec City.
