Le Cercle sur Auxerre

Everything was perfect. From a smile upon arrival, to excellent cuisine for the main course, and a chef who circulated among the guests to ask for their feedback, finishing with a homemade dessert? The complimentary tea for digestion was also very good. What more could you ask for? In short, finally an address worth mentioning and promoting. Don't change a thing.

Couscous restaurants have almost all become mediocre, with poor-quality meat and broth that's almost always too greasy. Le Cercle is an exception. A delight: quality and freshness! An exception not only in Auxerre and the Yonne region, but also nationally. For example, despite my extensive experience, I couldn't name a single North African restaurant in Paris or the Île-de-France region in general that's as good as Le Cercle. Warm welcome and fast service to boot. Bravo!

We were spending the weekend in Auxerre and stumbled upon this great place. We thoroughly enjoyed the merguez couscous, and the staff's friendliness was a real bonus. We highly recommend it!

Excellent couscous and tagines. Very friendly atmosphere and very good value for money. I'll definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu.

I had a very good meal and was well served by smiling waitresses. No complaints, I highly recommend it!

I hadn't been back in a long time, and it's still just as delicious with a warm welcome. My only regret is not being able to try everything 😋
