When we say pastilla, couscous, sfenj or tajine, we mean... Moroccan cuisine! Why not treat yourself this lunchtime to some tasty dishes straight from Morocco? What could be more convivial and comforting?
In Paris, Moroccan cuisine reveals its finest assets to gourmets in the capital's Moroccan restaurants. With its rich Berber, Arab, Jewish and Andalusian influences, colorful dishes, taste-bud-warming spices (including the famous ras-el-hanout blend), and family-style dishes to share with guests, Moroccan gastronomy has more than one trick up its sleeve to surprise Parisian palates.
And that's just as well, because we're looking forward to indulging ourselves with a good couscous prepared according to the rules of the art, a long-simmered tajine, a crispy, well-stuffed pastilla, or an avalanche of Moroccan pastries , each one naughtier than the last, such as sfenj, sweet doughnuts to die for, or the traditional baklava with almonds and honey that stick to your fingers.
And, of course, all accompanied by mint tea! Here are the best addresses for Moroccan restaurants in Paris!
