Baladi — Restaurant in Sherbrooke

I recently visited a Moroccan restaurant, hoping for a pleasant introduction to the cuisine, but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. The food itself wasn’t terrible — it was just okay. Nothing stood out in terms of flavor or presentation, and it didn’t spark any curiosity or excitement to explore Moroccan dishes further. In fact, the lackluster quality has discouraged me from trying Moroccan food again anytime soon.

They don't serve alcohol, but there is a shop right next door where you can buy alcohol and bring it into the restaurant with you. Would be happy to return here again to try...
