L olympe sur Paris

Whenever I travel to Paris, I make a point of seeking out places that serve authentic couscous and tajines. Ironically, it’s not always easy. Given the city’s rich North African heritage, you’d expect Paris to be a haven for this kind of cuisine—but more often than not, the experience falls short. This time, however, was different. For the first time, I had a truly perfect meal. The Couscous Royal was outstanding—beautifully cooked and served in generous portions (generous enough that finishing it felt like a personal achievement). The semolina, in particular, deserves special mention: light, fluffy, and full of flavor. It may sound unusual to focus on semolina, but I had genuinely never tasted it prepared so well. The vegetables—chunky carrots, celery, and courgettes—were paired with a sauce that struck the perfect balance: rich and deeply seasoned, yet light enough to complement rather than overwhelm the dish. The accompanying meat platter featured four pieces, each one tender and full of flavor. Simply delicious. The lamb tajine was equally exceptional—rich, fragrant, and perfectly cooked. This restaurant has firmly earned its place on my list of favorite spots in Paris. The café itself is simple and unpretentious, which only adds to its charm. Its location, right next to the beautiful Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, makes it even more special—perfect for a long, leisurely walk afterward to digest such an indulgent meal. The wine, like everything else, was excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and sincerely hope the quality and service remain just as impeccable in the future
