Doublevie sur Paris

18/10/2026: We popped out of a metro stop the day after the big riots and found masked youngsters looting and smashing windows. We walked down this side street worrying about our safety and asked to come in. They had no problem letting us in and waiting so we decided to eat there. The staff did not speak English but was extremely friendly. Very affordable wine which was opened by ~13 year old boy marvelously. The food was served as an extremely generous portion and the bill was extremely affordable. The events that led us there were unfortunate but I was very glad to find this gem of a restaurant. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

17/10/2026: A wonderful discovery! The food is delicious and the portions are generous. I had the Berber couscous (if I'm not mistaken about the name), and it was excellent: full of flavor, a generous portion, and enough to leave you feeling very satisfied. The starter of potatoes and lamb was also very good. A little tip about the service: you have to take things with a sense of humor! The first time, the staff's tone and jokes can be surprising, especially if you take everything at face value. But behind this approach, you'll discover truly lovely people with whom you can joke, laugh, and chat in a cheerful atmosphere. If you like places where they don't take themselves too seriously and where the ambiance is as authentic as the food, you'll love it! I highly recommend it. Come with a smile and be understanding of the staff: you might have a wonderful time!
