Arousse

At Arousse in Sainte-Therese, diners consistently celebrate what many call the best shish taouk in Quebec, with perfectly marinated chicken that keeps locals coming back for more. The authentic Lebanese flavors shine through in dishes like the jebné cheese sandwich, falafel, and fresh tabbouleh, while the cozy atmosphere enhanced by monthly jazz nights creates a memorable dining experience. However, some visitors note inconsistent portion sizes relative to the premium pricing, and occasional long wait times during peak hours. Despite these minor drawbacks, Arousse remains a beloved local gem where the exceptional quality of their signature dishes and warm, family-run hospitality make it worth the occasional splurge for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.
