About the Restaurant

Mel'Oui turns 160 Rue Notre-Dame Est into a boutique dedicated to msemmen, the flaky Maghrebi pastry that SDC Vieux-Montréal says they reimagine with global flavors. Every square is pressed on the plancha until crisp outside and soft inside, then folded around fillings like the Casabeirut with olive oil, za’atar, mozzarella, cucumber, and mint, the Nordique with smoked salmon and cream cheese, or the Casatunis mixing tuna, harissa, olives, and Swiss cheese. Sweet options keep the griddle busy too, from the L'beldi with butter, honey, and almonds to the Dubai layered with chocolate, pistachio cream, and kataïef, all served with Moroccan tea or house lemonade as highlighted on Uber Eats. The counter stays casual and affordable so office workers, tourists, and late-afternoon snackers can grab dine-in plates or delivery boxes of handmade msemmen that travel well.
