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.

I didn't 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 & 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.

Came across this place while searching on google reviews & 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 & filling & the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. Since it is a bit far from the busy area, you can enjoy your food calmly. Would definitely recommend !
