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.

The people & the place were amazing. I have tried & always find Moroccan restaurants ,but it was very nice to find & try a Tunisian one for the first time. The Tunisian Couscous was amazing & also the sweets were amazing ! Family owned/staff were super kind & welcoming ! The food was spiced & flavored perfectly. Super delicious .

We noticed this unassuming restaurant on our way back to our hotel. We are from NYC & we love to try different cuisines. We are pleasantly surprised how delicious the food is & how friendly the Lady who served us. We felt at home the moment we walked in & the food tasted like it's homemade. We regret to discover this gem on our last day in Old Quebec but had we found it a little earlier on our trip we would have frequented this place. We ordered the Shish Taouk (sp), Chicken couscous, Beef Pita & the soup & did not disappoint. All of it tasted authentic & savory. The fresh mint tea was perfect & refreshing even it was served hot. I feel bad that these kind of places do not get appreciated as much because there's not much of a foot traffic. I recommend this place for those who are looking for a great food & the price is not too bad at the same time. Highly recommended. ❤?❤?❤?

Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle ! Les plats sont délicieux : nous avons commandé du kafteji, du lablebi & du couscous, trois spécialités 100% tunisiennes, & les trois plats étaient très bons. Le service est impeccable, l'ambiance chaleureuse, & la serveuse est souriante. De plus, les prix sont abordables. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant

A wonderful little nook with delicious favorites from the Maghreb. The couscous with Merguez sausage brought back wonderful memories. Servers were so kind!
