“ The restaurant lives up to its name "Au bon couscous". The couscous is delicious and plenty. Service can be a bit slow, but this is not fast food. ”
“ We looked for this spot in the Latin Quarter based on the Google reviews. The staff were very cheerful and friendly. The restaurant is decorated nicely. It's small and on a little side street so inside was a little warm because of the hot weather. We were given complementary aperitifs, juice for the kids and kirs wine for the adults. We had dishes with the spicy sausage that everyone enjoyed. I had the Royal Tajine, and it was wonderful. The lamb was juicy and tender, and with all the fruits, they complimented the meat so well! There was plenty of couscous for the table and the side vegetables were very good. We had no room for dessert. They prefer cash if you can. Even with me ordering the most expensive dish on the menu, we spent about €20 per person. ”
