La Couscousserie
Dax
10/05/2026: "Imperial Couscous": the adjective was the only generous thing about the order.
I say this with all the more regret because not so long ago, it was truly excellent here. But this lunchtime, from 12:00 (scheduled time) to 12:40 (delivery time), I had time to entertain illusions—which crumbled the moment I opened the containers.
Let's start with the basics: no merguez sausage in an imperial couscous; it's just a pot-au-feu in disguise. A single packet of harissa for three people is misplaced optimism. No raisins either, but never mind.
The vegetables were swimming in oil, the zucchini had been chopped with an axe, and the chickpeas—three in total, two of which were burnt—seemed to have been accidentally left there. How do you burn chickpeas in couscous? I'm still wondering.
The chicken, clearly boiled without any seasoning, was falling apart into mush. The ras el hanout had been replaced with paprika alone—this isn't couscous, it's a Spanish soup gone awry. The dumplings were burnt and stuffed with vegetable peelings. The mutton, overcooked and cut into enormous chunks, completed the picture.
The sauce, bright red, had neither body nor depth.
I'm not asking for perfection, but an imperial couscous deserves at least to exist as such. I sincerely hope this is a one-off and not the new standard, because the memory of the good work done before deserves better than this.
17/03/2026: A very friendly and attentive couple who own the place, excellent and generous cuisine, I really enjoyed myself... I highly recommend it.
