You MUST try this brunch place in Montreal. The food is AMAZING. Cute and cozy restaurant, close to little Italy.

Overall a good experience, food was good but it was freaking cold as they had the air conditioning in October? Why? Didn’t enjoy my time there to be honest.

The flavors are uniquely warm and amazing! We have come here twice for birthday celebrations and have had a beautiful experience each time. Highly recommend!

Amazing service and beautiful presentation, perfect for groups. Unfortunately, the flavors were disappointing — we tried nearly everything on the menu and nothing stood out. Great potential, but the food needs serious improvement.

We had such an amazing meal at Darna. My daughter, who is generally very picky, said it was the best meal she had ever had, and she asked us to try to make more food like that at home. The service was also incredibly lovely, with several of the servers coming to explain things to us — such as the meaning of Amazigh, the term preferred over Berber — and helping us to decide what to order. Overall, we would come back here as often as we could if we didn't live so far away.

We went to celebrate a birthday and we were delighted that we had selected this exquisite restaurant!
Our server and guide, Eric, suggested we get a few plates to share and taste a greater variety. He recommended a few dishes based on our preferences.
We ordered the halloumi, oyster mushroom tagine, grilled asparagus and that evening’s special was a grilled swordfish steak. The presentation, was excellent, the service attentive and the taste delicious. We loved most of it especially the mushroom tagine. Exquisite!
IMO the swordfish steak was bland and the pita was dry and unsalted. I still felt hungry after finishing I need more protein at my meals.
The decor was evocative of the Magreb and the Silk Road. The only detraction in the ambience was having the music too loud to converse with ease.
Overall experience was phenomenal. Some very creative and delicious dishes. Unique flavors that complemented the unique atmosphere. Their starters and small plates were the star of the show and they had good cocktails too.

The food was great with a nice selection of wine and cocktails. We went for a share formula which allowed us to enjoy more of the different flavors. Will recommend going for the Wednesday or Thursday Table d'Hôte at 40$/person for a 3-service.
Incredible tasty food with so many unique flavours, we were truly impressed! Although the plates are for sharing, the portions are large. We were two and were stuffed with only 3 plates AND had to box some for home! The mocktails were delicious and unique as well - this is rare as most of the time I find mocktails are just juices I can mix myself. Service was excellent, we sat outside. We liked that we could enjoy the meal in peace on the terrace, without any loud music playing over us like most restaurants...

Darna is all about exquisite Moroccan food coupled with excellent service. This is a farm-totable-restaurant that serves dishes full of flavor, and creative drinks. I can't wait to go back.

The food was actually great, the green tea wasn't really that good, but the waiter Mathieu was honestly one of the best waiter we've ever gotten in a restaurant. Would go again for sure.
