The Moroccan house, in Montréal
TUYYA is a family-owned Moroccan store in Montréal, selecting Moroccan craft since 2007 from workshops and cooperatives we know by name. Our tagines come from six pottery towns, from Safi to Oued Laou: cooking tagines for the flame and serving tagines for the table. For tea: teapots, tea glasses and everything for the tea ceremony, with hand-painted bowls.
For the home: baskets, leather poufs, thuya wood boxes from Essaouira and lighting. In the pantry and the hammam: organic argan and olive oil, spices and Moroccan skincare.
Frequently asked · 5
Where to buy a tagine in Montréal?
At TUYYA, online or at our Montréal warehouse by appointment. We carry tagines from six Moroccan pottery towns: Rabat, Salé, Marrakech, Safi, Fès and Oued Laou, in several sizes, for cooking and for serving.
Which tagine to choose: cooking or serving?
A cooking tagine is made for heat: it slow-cooks meat and vegetables on a heat diffuser or in the oven. A serving tagine, glazed and hand-painted, brings the dish to the table or dresses a room. As for size, a 30 cm tagine serves 4 to 6. Each town has its signature: the glazes of Safi and Fès, the pottery of Salé and Rabat, the clay of Marrakech, the Rif pottery of Oued Laou.

No two grains agree
Thuya root is cut from the base of the tree, where the grain knots and swirls under the burl. Essaouira's marquetry workshops have worked it for generations — no two boxes are ever quite the same.
