About

Maison Marocaine serves authentic North African cuisine centered on slow-cooked tajines and fluffy, hand-rolled couscous. The kitchen prioritizes aromatic spices like saffron, ginger, and turmeric to achieve depth in every savory preparation. Roasted lamb, seasonal vegetables, and preserved lemons feature prominently across the menu to honor traditional preparation techniques. Each dish emphasizes the complexity of Moroccan heritage through careful layering of flavors and textures. The dining room reflects cultural aesthetics through intricate tilework, warm lighting, and traditional brass lanterns that define the spatial atmosphere. Guests experience a focused culinary approach where grains and meats serve as the primary conduits for authentic regional seasoning. This establishment remains a destination for those seeking a direct and uncompromising exploration of classic Maghrebi flavors and standard Moroccan preparation methods.

This has been a great experience. I really liked the food. It was so delicious & the customer service was suburb. This restaurant is a hidden gem due to the hidden location. I recommend it for all of those who would like to try something extraordinary.

Je ne comprends pas la plupart des commentaires ici. Nous étions un groupe de 7 jeunes garçons & nous sommes arrivés assez tard & nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par la serveuse & son propriétaire malgré tout. Nous avons mangé comme des rois & la viande était tendre & les portions étaient généreuses. Je recommande vivement l'établissement & je demande aux clients de faire attention avant de mettre 1 étoile car cela peut avoir un impact considérable sur les petits restos & commerces d'ici. Merci pour tout!

Great place for authentic Moroccan food! I tried the tajine & chicken kabob. Rice was good, vegetables were better & meat was great! Would recommend especially if you want somewhere with ambience.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in old Quebec city. What a nice food, what a friendly & familiar service & at such a low price compared to all the nearby restaurants! I strongly recommend the lamb & chicken brochette. The only warning that I give is when you order the Marocain mint tea, keep in mind that by default it comes with sugar added when this is not the default at other restaurants.

GREAT food, the tajines & merguez starter were delicious, would definitely come back & highly recommend it. Cozy restaurant, quiet, because it's off the beaten track but undeservedly so.

Alors là quelle decouverte! De prime abord j ai eu l impression d arriver dans un coupe gorge, mais les apparences sont trompeuses, après un couloir sordide, je me suis retrouvée au Maroc !!! La musique, les odeurs, le décor, & pour couronner le tout, LE GOÛT. Le couscous au poulet avec profusion de légumes & sa viande fondant.. . Quel régale, d autant qu'à demande, j ai eu harissa & jus à suffisance.
Une adresse que je recommande vivement dans le vieux Québec.
