Service going down .....they changed the price and they didn't change it on the menu. So when you are at the cash to pay the bill they'll tell you hey! here is a paper on the wall near the cash saying that prices have changed , we're legally protected with that!!!.but no one tells you at the moment of the order that the prices at the menu are wrong or anything about that so if you pay attention to the bill you'll end up paying a different price than the one listed on the menu. So at the cash when I spoke to the boss he started arguing and saying that legally he is protected as he has put a paper near the cash saying that prices have changed and trying to defend the fact that he didn't change the menus or put at least stickers on the menu or even advice the costumer when the waiters take the order that prices have changed, so this is what I call "how you can scam your customers" while trying to be legal at the same time... which is ethically not acceptable from a place that is supposed to respect its' customers...very disappointed about this way of managing a restaurant. This was my third or fourth time and probably the last one after having seen this type of behaviour. (please read their reply below and you'll understand what type of mentality they have......). Besides from that, the food is acceptable and around the average in terms of quality, service is above average as well besides this price change issue. To some it up , it's not a pricing issue as much as a transparency and an ethical issue as things could have been done in a much more professional and honest way : just advice the customer that menu prices have changed at the time of order .. Very simple!.
Arguing that 1$,2$,3$ are just a small change that doesn't worth to stop at, is such a cheap argument! And just a proof that professionalism , honesty, and transparency are just cheaper than 25 cents for this place!!.....($). So hopefully this comment helps in making things better in the future, and since the label ( goût du bled) have a huge meaning and symbolic ...our Bled worths a flawless behavior when it comes to representing our country...
Read moreFrom the moment I walked into Le Goût du Bled, I felt like I was stepping into a warm, soulful slice of Algeria right in the heart of Montréal. The atmosphere is welcoming, the decor is authentic, and the food… absolutely unreal. Every bite felt like a love letter to Algerian tradition—deeply flavorful, beautifully spiced, and made with genuine heart. As someone who has lives California, I can tell you: food like this simply doesn’t exist there.
What truly made this visit unforgettable, though, was Lena, the waitress who took care of me. She was absolutely phenomenal, kind, attentive, and graceful from the second I sat down. She never hovered, just checked in at the perfect times with a warm, genuine smile that added something special to the whole experience.
At one point, she noticed the sun was directly in my face. Without me saying a word, she offered to move me to a cooler, shaded part of the restaurant. I offered to carry my own food and plates, but she kindly declined—insisting I just relax and let her take care of it. That moment said everything about the level of service and heart this place brings.
I’ll 100% be coming back—not just for the incredible food, but because of people like Lena who make you feel truly welcomed and cared for. I can't say anything less about the other waitresses, they are absolutely wonderful!
If you're in Montréal and looking for a spot with heart, hospitality, and damn good Algerian food, Le Goût...
Read moreWe had dining at Le Gout du Bled, an Algerian gem that truly embodies the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
The food here is nothing short of amazing. Every dish is a burst of flavor, rich with the traditional spices and ingredients that make Algerian cuisine so unique. The couscous was perfectly fluffy, and the tagines were simmered to perfection, each bite transporting me straight to the Mediterranean coast to the Algerian Sahara. The freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of the flavors truly stood out.
What made the experience even better was the excellent service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that I had everything I needed to enjoy my meal. Their passion for the food and culture was evident, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable.
