This restaurant used to be a lovely place where we enjoyed family meals for special occasions.
This time, unfortunately, I had to acknowledge a significant decline in quality. We were there in a large group for a birthday celebration, and no one asked the reason for our visit, which would have been a nice touch. Furthermore, on Valentine's Day, there wasn't the slightest attempt at decoration for the couples around us, which was rather sad and uninspiring.
To top it all off, our order was "forgotten." We were served almost last, despite being among the first to arrive... It's true that eight people desperately waiting for their food probably isn't very visible... In short, there's a major problem with both the service and organization; it really lacks professionalism. Fortunately, the food was still very good in the end... all is not lost.
We came to celebrate our son getting his driver's license and were charmed by the place, the staff, and the food. The couscous was perfectly prepared, both the semolina and the vegetables. The meat was particularly flavorful. I loved the merguez sausage and my lamb skewer, even though I'm not usually a fan of lamb. A minor drawback was the dessert menu, which is mainly focused on frozen desserts. A few more North African sweet options would be nice. The Boulaouane red wine was a big hit with everyone, as were the house cocktail and the mint tea. The prices are quite reasonable. There's a small parking lot in front of the restaurant, but there are other parking options further down in the town center. For us, it was a great find, and we'll definitely be back rather than going to the other two La Couscoussière locations in Moselle (Metz and Creutzwald).
