Castel - Gatineau

I went to Gatineau for a wonderful Saturday dinner. Fatima was so helpful in every way. From my call to book a table for two, to 'a la prochaine '... see you next time. And I will visit again. We took advantage of the buffet that gave a great taste of a number of dishes. Everything was spectacular and the authentic taste of Morocco took me back to my first taste of a local dish in Rabat last year. When you go to Chez Fatima in Gatineau... try everything and definately don 't miss the falling off the bone lamb.

Humble, simple, authentic are the key words. I had the pleasure to dine in this authentic Moroccan restaurant last week, and to enjoy the buffet offerings, I have had: Lamb shanks, cous cous and a delicious fish dish plus some sides of beautifully cooked veggies and rice. Everything tasted great, the server was ready to answer all the questions and Fatima herself is a wonderful human being. I will DEFINITELY go back! Merci Fatima, à bientôt

I've been meaning to try this restaurant despite the mixed reviews. The space is clean and pleasant. We loved every single flavourful dish on the buffet. There was a vegetable soup, a good selection of salads, as well as chicken, lamb, meatballs and a couple of vegetarian options along with rice, cous cous and potatoes. The desserts were to die for as well. Service was kind but a bit slow since it seemed they were only a few people (who were all working very hard doing everything). I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

A long-standing restaurant owned by two incredibly warm and welcoming women. I was constantly reminded to relax and feel like home and I fed exactly that. During lunchtime, they offer an awesome buffet with loads of vegetarian choices. I haven’t had such a nice lunch in a long time. Thank you very much!

Wonderful place! The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, the food was ridiculously good and came in big portions. We tried lamb couscous and homemade merguez tajine, and finished with an assortment of delicious handmade deserts. Highly recommend!
