A chic Moroccan restaurant. The moment you walk in, you will be struck by their impressive decor. I know nothing about design but I appreciate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into all the carvings on the walls and ceilings. Menu is well organised and easy to read - tajin or cous cous, basically. If you don't eat meat, you might struggle to find something you want to eat. But my cous cous was nice.

Extremely authentic decor for this place near Trocadéro. Moroccan food was the craving. We had the salad as a starter and kefta meatballs with eggs in a tajine. The base of the broth is similar to shakshuka. I didn't realize there was coriander/cilantro in both dishes which put a damper on the evening. I had a basic red wine from Morocco, which was not bad at all.

Wonderful, flavorful, plentiful meals in a stunning setting-- it's like a room from Casablanca was shipped over tile by tile and reconstructed in an out of the way (or at least out of the touristy area) street. Word of warning: the couscous dish is big enough for two. They have the option to add an extra protein portion, which would make it even more perfect for sharing. Very affordable, a fabulous counterpoint to the heavy French food. And it looks like the perfect place for a larger party--there was a birthday group of about 15 in the side room where we were. If I lived here, this would be an option for a small celebration for me too. Loved it.

I should start by saying we visited in our last evening, so we were rather tired from a rather active trip. That being said, we nearly walked by at around 8pm and passed on because it was rather empty. Thank goodness for the one table that was there and we decided to go in. Such a wonderful meal, excellent food and pleasantly surprised by the Moroccan wine. The delightful surprise was the pigeon pastille, absolutely delicious. One of the most beautiful places I have had the opportunity to dine in. Five Stars for food and decor...would absolutely return more than once.

Moroccan Cuisine. Our best meal in Paris yet. Order the Tagine. We have been in Paris for three weeks now and make it our point to go find the best food in this city so renowned for its cuisine. If you look at my profile, you will see that I have visited many restaurants that people say is "hands down the best food I have had in Paris." You will also see that I rarely give above three stars, and especially rarely five. Yet this place is one of the best places I have ever eaten in my entire life, and I plan to return. The service is friendly, prices reasonable, ambience romantic and calming, and food incredible. We got the seasonal fruit lamb tagine and a couscous - the cuoscous we ordered came with lots of vegetables and seemed really healthy, and the lamb tagine is.... the best dish I have eaten in Paris. We also got Moroccon Mint tea and ordered seconds we enjoyed it so much. My advice? Make a reservation and go around 9:30 - make sure (if you eat lamb) to get some sort of lamb tagine and some Moroccon Mint Tea. Unless you particularly like couscous, I would get one sweet and one salty tagine. And one more piece of advice? Please go here - do NOT miss it! There were no potatoes as far as I could remember, just lots of real, hearty vegetables.

We are in Paris on a vacation and wanted to find a North African restaurant. We were by the Eiffel tower and I found this place through Yelp. We got there around 11am and decided to sit outside and wait for them to open. By 11:25 they told us we could come inside and they were very kind to open up early for us. We were seated immediately and the hostess was very friendly. They brought out drinks and an appetizer that was AMAZING. It was cucumbers and I think maybe carrots? They way it was spiced was so delicious and they took our food order soon after that. My aunt got the beef kefta and I got the chicken skewers, both were fantastic. Very flavorful and it was the best food I've had since being in Paris. 10000/10 would recommend this place!

This Moroccan restaurant was a gem. They open at 7:00pm but the owner let hungry me and my husband early in since we tried to bust in at 6:55pm. When you enter this restaurant, you will feel as though you've somehow left Paris and ended up in the living room your North African grandmother. The decor was really cool. The walls were carved with designs and colorfully tiled, the tables had gold plating, and there was an area in which you could lounge on a bench next to your table mates. There were two workers at the restaurant - the server/owner and the one chef in the kitchen. It felt very welcoming, serene, and familial. (The peacefulness might have been because we arrived as soon as they opened and had the whole place to ourselves for 45 minutes... hehe). My husband chose to eat the couscous with lamb shoulder, and I the Tajine with lamb and the seasonal fruit. The lamb was divine. In my husbands savory dish as well as my sweet dish, the hefty portion melted in our mouths. I'm not usually able to finish a big piece of red meat but this I devoured. The flavor and smells were incredible. The couscous dish came with vegetable broth which added even more flavor. I was blown away by the intense aromas and flavor of these two dishes. We followed this with hot beverages for dessert. You can't go wrong with the creme de menthe (a sweet mint tea) with pastries or the cafe ottoman (a very strong black coffee). This was seriously one of the best meals I've ever had. I just felt so relaxed, well fed, and rejuvenated after it was all said and done. It is not unreasonably priced either. Hubs and I each had an aperitif (kir royals), entrees and hot beverages with pastries for dessert and paid 80 euros. Really not bad for a very central tourist area next to a key Eiffel Tower viewing point (Trocadero).

This is a favorite go-to restaurant for me when I visit Paris. The food is always fresh and delicious. Options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The true star beside the food is the ambiance. The place is decorated very nicely so when you step inside it's like you're in another world. My friend who is half Moroccan says this is the most authentic place she's been to for couscous in Paris. They are very accommodating and I even brought my own cake that I wanted them to surprise someone with since we were celebrating their birthday and they were super kind and obliged. If you need a filling meal with super large portions this is the place for you. It's also the perfect place to share a meal. Things are served family style. They serve the Mint tea piping hot and will do the grand high pour for you! Great service and delicious!

Prior to my trip to Paris I wrote down a list of restaurants that I wanted to try, and this place came highly recommended. I had never tried Moroccan food before, and all of the reviews that I had read on Yelp spoke really highly of the restaurant. I don't know if it was just me, but when you're walking toward the restaurant it can be kind of easy to miss if you're not paying attention (probably just my low attention span). So I walk in, and I'm immediately greeted by the woman at the front counter! By this time I had already mastered the way of saying "Hello, a table for one please" in French, so it must've sounded pretty convincing because I have no idea what was said to me in the rapid fire French that followed my phrase. So I'm seated next to a large group who all seem to really be enjoying their food and I overhear one of them say that they are Moroccan, so I figured I would just order whatever they ordered haha. So the waitress comes back and says something to me in French (yep no idea what was said), so I use my other go to phrase "Je ne parle Francais", at which point she thought I was joking because she laughed continued in French. I think the blank expression on her face gave her the clue that I really had no idea what she was saying to me (I know, I know I'll do better next time). So she asks in French what languages I could speak and I told her Spanish or English. As soon as I said that a woman next to me told me that she would help me in Spanish, and the large group on the other side told me that they would help me in English! So as I look through the menu I decide to ask for suggestions. The woman next to me tells me that the Tagine dishes are really good, but she really likes the couscous because of the amount of food that comes with it! Done! The waitress comes back and I decide to order the Essaouira couscous (chicken, lamb, spicy sausage). Maybe 15-20 minutes later the food comes out and it looks really good! A plate of couscous, a bowl of what seemed to be like a vegetable stew/soup, and a plate of all of the meats! I turn to the large group next to me and ask if there is a certain way that I should eat the mail. One tells me that I pour the stew over the couscous and then enjoy from there! I do as such, and prepare to dig in! I must say that the meal was very filling, and all of the food was very nicely cooked. The meats were tender and flavorful, the couscous with the stew made a nice combination, and it was all around a good meal. So the bill comes and I had a ballpark idea of how much I though everything was going to be. Turns out the water that I ordered came with a hefty price of 7€ (I think it was actually 6.50, but expensive either way haha). Aside from that, I really have no room to complain about my experience at the restaurant, and I'd like to maybe maybe ok me back some day to try the Tagine

Step into a Morroccan oasis - this restaurant is covered floor-to-ceiling in different colored tile, glass, and plaster molding and carved wood. I caught myself gazing off at different corners of the restaurant throughout dinner - just a wonderful look and feel in here. Also, the cushioned seating was very comfortable and clean. The food - the lamb tagine is decadent and the biggest portion of lamb that I have yet seen in Paris and the bread is the best Morroccan bread I have had - dense and soft inside, crispy exterior and straight out of the oven. Just delicious! This is right by the Eiffel Tower, yet no tourists were here. Also, I went here through http://www.lafourchette.com and got 30% extra off our bill, even though the prices are already decent.
