I always go to René et Gabin when I'm in Paris. Tunisian Jewish food, tasty and not to expensive. I…read morehad the fish couscous this time. A filet plus a ground fish pattiy. Both were good. The sauce has a rich flavor. Couscous grains were light and separate. Great black olives (maybe Greek olives). Boiled vegetables on the side. I didn't have it on this trip but the Tunisian fig drink, boukha, is a great way to end a meal, especially on a cool evening.

This is a wonderful restaurant........have visited Paris many times, and went here with a Tunisian…read morefriend of mine who lives in Paris. Food was spectacular...enjoyed it very much.

Great No. African specialties....visited here again a couple of years later with another friend. Same great service and food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to being able to return at some point when I am able to visit Paris again.....

My favourite Maghrebin tea house/patisserie in the whole world…read more Christmas Day 2016, I went wandering and stumbled on this little place to the absolute delight of my family. Best Algerian tea ever...as well as being my first Algerian tea ever. And the little sweets were so great. Tea with mint and orange rose water was amazing!

LAOUZ is a beautiful Algerian pâtisseries that sell almond pastries in the 1st arrondissement. The…read morestore rep was very kind, friendly, giving me a background of the store/pastries, and very patient as I made my choices. She was definitely the opposite of what is typically rumored of French service. I'm glad I finally walked into the store after passing many times. They also serve hot tea and I was able to take away a hot mint tea. The different color pastries reflect the different family of flavors. . . For example, green for pistachio, red for cherry, brown for coffee/chocolate, yellow for banana, etc. The almond pastes are very sweet and I was having a sugar headache after my fourth pastry, but I just had to try as much as I could! Definitely a colorful and elegant pâtisserie to visit!

I'm glad there is a Turkish restaurant in the area that doesn't just serve kebab as a takeaway, and…read moreI like their dining hall, so there are a couple of pluses to be had here. And the patlican is credible enough, though the lamb in it is nothing like what you'd have in Turkiye (and the waiters don't speak Turkish). But the mezes are a catastrophe - a misguided tasteless hummus; a cacik that could break a fork; and a saltless oilless carrot salad in yogurt, all framing a desultory house salad.

Best onion soup and friendly service!…read more My wife and I were happy to find this restaurant was open January 1st, and were the only patrons there. Service was prompt and happy to help with a great recommendation on the carafe wine with plenty to share for two. We ordered the menu Formule ($19.90 eur/person as of January, 2018). Not sure what you put in the Onion soup, but this was the BEST we tasted throughout our visit.

Small kind of lackluster place on the boulevard. The happy hour wine is $5 but the pours are small.read more
