We left as quickly as we could. Never going back here. Paris has many incredible restaurants. Don't waste your time and money on this one. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

You really feel like you're in Morocco with the decorations. And it's also not even that loud, which is perfect for a nice intimate dinner. Had the Kefta with Moroccan Salad and Royal Pigeon Pastilla as starters, Lamb Tagine with Seasonal Fruits and Kefta Meatball Couscous for entrées, and the Selection of Moroccan Pastries as dessert. Portions were really good and everything was super tasty. Not the absolute best food I've ever had, but I was not disappointed. Staff here are quite friendly. Even though they don't all speak English, they are very nice and helpful. And yes, they do have English menus at least. Really enjoyed Essaouira, glad I made the trip here.

Of two Moroccan places I tried I thought the food was more flavorful here. I got the beef couscous and my boyfriend got the vegetable couscous and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

They are clearly a mom and pop establishment and they know what they are doing when it comes to the food.

Once you placed your order, they serve you traditional Moroccan Maghrebi mint tea. I liked how they put on a lil show when pouring tea, and it was delicious and warm on a cold winter day! We opted for Plat du jour (the plate of the day) & msamen nature to share, I enjoyed the couscous which was not soggy but nutty and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with the stew. Would recommend order their msamen nature, the texture was really good. The only con would be the meats, maybe we didn't order the right kind, they were a lil dry and tough. One of the better Moroccan food experiences I have had. A great option to try out in this market!

Ok, so if you are looking for a Marocan place for diner in Paris, this restaurant can indeed do it…read more It's been apparently around for a while, since 1946 indeed. I had a Vegetable couscous and to be perfectly honest I had never been in a marocan restaurant since I turned vegan. So a bit difficult to make a sound opinion. However, the couscous was good and fresh. The freshness was worrisome as we where the only table in the restaurant. Probably one of these slow Tuesday might. Never the less the food was good, and the decor truly takes you away from Paris. So overall, and until I find one that I like best, this is the place I would recommend for now. The staff was very nice, the price reasonable and the food was good and again freshly made. Still far away from Majouba's couscous, but then again Majouba is not a restaurant, just an tremendous cook that used to work as a maid when I was a kid and that could make us travel without leaving the house. Too bad she isn't around anymore.

My husband…read moreand I love having Moroccan food at home, even making it in our own tagine, so this was something we couldn't miss while honeymooning here. This little restaurant is down the street from the Moulin Rouge, which is a good landmark if you're not sure where you're going. Avoid the suicidal mopeds and viola! You're there! Despite speaking very little French, we were able to ask the waitress if she spoke English and, although she said she only spoke a little, she was definitely closer to fluent than just a little! We ordered a chicken tagine with preserved lemons and lamb couscous, along with the house wine and mint tea. My tagine was perfect. The chicken fell apart without so much as touching it with a knife, and the preserved lemons were a treat as I've never had them before. My husband was given couscous that we could easily have shared and not finished. I mean, it was seriously a mountain of food. He says the lamb was tender and spiced perfectly, and the broth was also tasty. Couscous was perfect, of course. Nice and fluffy. The house wine was intense, in my opinion. It was like a flavor punch in the mouth every time I took a sip. Pow! Loved it. The mint tea was perfect. My only regret there is that I didn't have more. After lunch I asked to see the tray of treats they have on the bar. She gave me a quick tour of what was on display and left it on our table along with tongs. I chose a Turkish delight - rose! Which I've never tasted before, and it tasted exactly like the flower smells. I also had a small Baklava, which I have had before, but this one was incredible and dripping with honey. Yum! Overall, I have to say that everything was flavorful and perfect. Definitely exceeded my very high expectations of Moroccan food in France. I wish I could go there again!

Chicken was also very tasty as well. Worth a stop if you've got the craving.
