l'Escale du Maroc sur Saumur

We came to try this restaurant and the experience was disappointing considering the prices. Having eaten at around fifty different couscous restaurants, this one is clearly inferior. While the quality of the meat is acceptable for the price, everything else leaves much to be desired. The semolina absorbs the broth in seconds; I had to add five ladles of broth before I could even eat it. The portion size is also questionable: for two royal couscous orders, we each received only one chicken leg cut in half (the upper part for one, the drumstick for the other), whereas at this price, we should have received two whole legs. As for the supposedly generous portion of mechoui couscous, it was the smallest piece of mechoui I've ever eaten, and nothing impressive for 24 euros; I expected much better. On a side note, the toilet lock sticks. Honestly, it's worth trying once; it's nothing to write home about.

A wonderful discovery, surprising, even unexpected. The decor was simple, but the meal was excellent, featuring quality ingredients and perfectly prepared fine semolina. I also mustn't forget the very warm welcome. Well done and best of luck for the future. The Lille team.

Amazing, home-style cooking; we felt right at home. We'll be back, thank you so much!

The food is excellent, and the welcome is very warm. I recommend it 100%.

Wow! I've had my share of couscous, but this one is in a league of its own. Between the tender meat and the melt-in-your-mouth semolina, not to mention the warm welcome, you can't pass through Saumur without going. I came, I saw, I came back.

Excellent! We were passing through on Mother's Day. After being turned away from another restaurant because of our small dog (whom we couldn't leave in the car in those temperatures), we called L'escale du Maroc. From the initial phone call to the dessert, everything was perfect and delicious. Thank you so much!

Excellent couscous and a very friendly owner. The restaurant is small, as is the garden; both are nice but rather simple.

Delicious, excellent service from pleasant people. Beautiful setting. Very affordable prices.

Delicious, generous couscous in a warm atmosphere with a very friendly welcome. I highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful evening, the meal was very good and plentiful, thank you again for this lovely time.
