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.

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!

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!
