Marrakech sur Paris

Just perfect. Quiet, warm, excellent food. Special mention for the waiter who made us feel very welcome.

Magnificent Moroccan restaurant, adorable waiter, very generous and delicious dishes!

What service and kindness, incredible, thank you! And what a setting, a real journey! And of course we don’t forget that the couscous and tagine are delicious, a real nice surprise!

We had a lovely time! The welcome is warm, the setting takes us on a journey. The kitchen is perfect! I recommend this beautiful address.

Such a wonderful dining experience. The decor takes you away to another land, the food is traditional Moroccan deliciousness, the service kind and attentive. The gentleman who seated us this last visit is presumably the owner. He has been managing the restaurant at least as far back as 1990 when I first discovered this gem. I became a regular, dining here at least once a month over the years. On this most recent visit as a tourist (October 2023), he remembered me and gave a warm welcome and chatted a while… like seeing an old friend. My girlfriend was unfamiliar with Moroccan cuisine so I introduced her to a family dish that has become one of France’s favorite meals: a traditional Couscous. The lamb brochettes, merguez sausages, kefta meatballs… most amazing flavors. If you choose to get a Tajine instead of Couscous, the merguez sausages make a formidable first course, particularly when served on a bed of mint leaves. Everything I’ve had here has been beautifully prepared, delectable. Of course, you’ll want a wine to accompany your meal; I suggest one of their wines from the Maghreb, such as a Guerrouane or Boulaouane. Over the years I’ve been to many Couscous restaurants in Paris and Lyon, ranging the elegant to the “boui-boui" cafés in Belleville. From Chez Omar, Bébert, Charly, etc., pretty much all have been fabulous, rarely a disappointment, but for me Marrakech shines above for ambiance and quality of food. Sorry, forgot to take pictures of the presentation of the semoule, bouillon and meats, etc., before serving. We were hungry and happy, me feeling like I was coming home.

The couscous was fantastic..the manager was very attentive and friendly..small restaurant, reservation recommended!

Magnificent place, a return after more than 20 years. Nothing has changed, just the time which has passed despite a sublime interior, and which gives all this charm to this very beautiful place which was one of the meccas of Moroccan cuisine in the west of Paris. Couscous mechoui with lamb of very good quality. Go for it!

Un véritable joyau culinaire au cœur de Paris, ce restaurant marocain est une institution mythique, imprégnée d’histoire et de traditions. Chaque plat, préparé avec un savoir-faire authentique et une passion inégalée, est un voyage gustatif à travers les saveurs riches et envoûtantes du Maroc. Des tajines mijotés à la perfection aux couscous généreusement garnis, en passant par des pastillas délicates et des pâtisseries sucrées, chaque bouchée est un hommage à l’art culinaire marocain. L’ambiance chaleureuse, les décorations typiques et l’accueil convivial de Hassan complètent l’expérience, faisant de ce lieu une destination incontournable pour les amoureux de la cuisine marocaine.

Ambiance et accueil chaleureux, très bonne cuisine

I had meant to write this much earlier. My family and I visited Marrakech in June of 2023. We were in the neighborhood of the Arc De Triomphe, and wandered off the beaten path a little in search of something to eat. We almost walked past the restaurant, but we are so glad we didn't. We were eating early, so we were the only diners. I had the Chicken Tagine, which was excellent. Unfortunately, I can't remember what my daughters had, but they loved their food. We were able talk to the waiter, who spoke excellent English compared to my, at best, indifferent French. That added much to our experience, so if you go at a busier time, you will probably not get the same kind of attention. That was possible because we were the only customers. The service was excellent aside from the conversation, though. Good recommendations about the food, and very attentive. Online photos of the interior already exist, but that contributes to the atmosphere. So, food service, atmosphere were all outstanding, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for Moroccan cuisine around the Arc De Triomphe
