Carthage Express

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

Came to Quebec City a few months back for a trip with friends and easily one of, if not the best meal I had in the city. The restaurant interior was very nice was decorated with art, carvings, and motifs from Tunisia and North Africa. Community seemed tight-knit between the owners and regular customers and 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 and potatoes to combo the couscous. Portion size was definitely worth the price—or even more—and 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.

What an incredible meal. The couscous dish was spiced perfectly, the Ojja with shrimp was amazing, the mint tea was perfection, and the gentleman that served us was lovely. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant was cozy. Will absolutely return on my next visit to Quebec City.

I recently dined at Carthage Express, and it was a delightful journey through the rich and vibrant flavors of Tunisian cuisine. From the moment I stepped in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for an exceptional experience. The menu offers an impressive variety of authentic dishes. The Brik was a crispy, golden delight filled with a perfectly cooked egg, and the Couscous was simply outstanding—fluffy couscous served with tender lamb and vegetables. The restaurant’s ambiance is cozy yet stylish, with decor that reflects the beauty of Tunisian heritage. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. Whether you’re familiar with Tunisian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Carthage Express is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their delicious menu!

You are so lucky that you found this restaurant online, because you are in for a treat. There are many excellent restaurants in Quebec City, but this was our favorite meal of our entire visit. Incredible service and ambience, and oh my goodness the FOOD. Tremendously fresh and flavorful. With every bite we were mmmmming and commenting on how delicious it was. Large portions and reasonably priced. Also, we initially planned on just getting a couple wraps and tabbouleh but the server suggested that we’d save money and get more food if we ordered the lunch formule. We are so glad he suggested it, because every bite and every flavor was wonderful. This restaurant is now on our itinerary every time we visit Quebec City.

Beautiful restaurant with a charming Arabic atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and the food is very tasty! I suspect the kitchen forgot to add oil/vinegar/lemon to the Tunisian salad, would highly recommend for the full flavor!
