Le Berbère

Bonne adresse de quartier.
J’ai pris le tajine kefta (avec oeuf et oignons) qui était très bon. Les boulettes de bœufs étaient généreuses, bien assaisonnées et pas trop sèches. Il manquait juste un peu de jus dans l’assiette. J’ai pu goûter la semoule qui était très bonne et fine. En revanche je né vous conseille pas le thé gourmand qui est très moyen.

Très bon restaurant. Le couscous royal est excellent… une semoule très fine, une viande goûteuse:-). Copieux pour un prix raisonnable!:-)

Accueil très chaleureux, les serveurs font des petites blagues sympas. La salle est typique berbère, très beau cadre. Le couscous est copieux et les merguez sont excellente, l’un des meilleurs couscous de Paris.

First time in Paris and went here based on reviews.
The food is great. Very authentic and delicious… Fantastic lamb dishes.
What makes the place great is the wait staff who are so over the top friendly that it doesn’t even matter that we don’t speak a single common word. I was blown away when the manager literally walked me down the block to show me where the nearest ATM was. Such a nice guy! I will definitely come back on our next trip here

Delicious treat off the Main Street! My husband and I ate at le Berbere after reading reviews in Unilocal and were not disappointed. I ordered a vegetarian couscous and my husband ordered meat. The waiter brought a huge serving of couscous to share and we each got a separate dish of vegetables and sauce to pour over the couscous with his meat on the side. The service was terrific. Enjoy!

Hummm :)
Très bonne qualité de viande… Couscous merveilleux et accueil chaleureux… Que demander de plus? Niquel !

Super restau berbère! Caché dans une grande rue sombre et calme entre Bastille et Ledru Rollin, ce petit restau né paie pas de mine avec sa grande devanture.
Les tajines sont excellents, ainsi que les couscous. Les plats sont copieux et parfumés. Les patisseries sont délicieuses. Le patron est très accueillant. Cadre calme et intimiste.

Super accueil, les serveurs font des blagues, c’est bon enfant. La déco est assez chaleureuse hormis le carrelage et les grandes baies vitrées. Le couscous est très copieux, certes, mais fade avec des merguez sans intérêt et des légumes sans goût. Mention spéciale pour les raisins secs qui eux étaient pas mal.

Our second time here during our stay in Paris! That’s how good this place is and it’s not just the food. It’s the locals the frequent the restaurant, the ambiance and the reception you get from the owner when you enter. It feels good to be back! Due to the copious amounts of food, we decided to share a Brick Kefta as an entrée. I had the Tagine Kefta (lamb meatballs with onions and egg) and my husband had the Couscous Berbere. They were both excellent (of course)! We finished with some Baklava an I had some of their excellent Mint Tea! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone at any time! What a wonderful place to dine at and one of the places I would miss dearly. Till next time…

Couscous à emporter !
Dimanche soir, pas envie de faire la cuisine, ni de commander les sempiternels sashimis saumon au sushi du coin? Vous avez l’estomac en vrac à cause de la grosse soirée de la veille? Le Berbère est là pour vous aider !
Vous prenez un couscous royal (boulette, agneau, poulet) à emporter et vous aurez de quoi vous matelasser le ventre pour passer une bonne nuit de sommeil reparatrice. Par contre il est important de savoir que les proportions sont extrêmement copieuses. C’est à dire que meme à deux, un seul couscous est difficile à finir…
Vous serez prévenu.
Donc bon, niveau prix si vous êtes à deux sur le meme plat autant vous dire qu’à côté les sushis c’est hors de prix !
Et on né lésine pas sur les boulettes, les goûter c’est les adopter.
Bön ap’

Everything about this place I loved!
The owner knows our friends who live in Paris, so that is always a good first impression. We sat at the window in this little lookout area onto the street, this area was so sweet because it had curtains that could be pulled across if your party filled the two table space.
The owner was funny and entertaining and laughed and joked with us and all of his customers, he had that great quality of making everyone feel special.
I saw couples, groups and whole families eating here.
I ordered the chauchokra (sp) to start, it’s like a tomato based vegetable dish with a fried egg in the middle. My friend’s Mom from Morocco cooked this for me in Boston and this was just as yummy.
For my main I got the chicken tagine which was cooked to perfection with vegetables and white raisins and the chicken was so tender it fell off the bone. I have no idea what spices they use in this dish, but it was probably the best meal I had in Paris. My boyfriend had the cous cous with all sorts of meat and this came with a big bowl of broth and vegetables, which tasted really amazing too.
I loved everything about this place, even down to the little napkins.
We had a bottle of wine that complimented the whole meal and we shared desserts and mint tea that was poured «long» by the waitress.
We were welcomed and treated so well here, I would definitely like to come back here to experience it again.

Un excellent restaurant! Des amis nous ont fait découvrir cette bonne adresse, et nous n’avons pas été deçus! Des plats très très copieux pour un prix très abordable, un joli endroit bien décoré à l’oriental, un personnel sympathique, vraiment un très bon endroit pour déguster des plats orientaux Je vous le conseille vivement

Très bon couscous
Accueil très sympa, cuisine très bonne. Le couscous est copieux la viande est de qualité. Il faut penser à réserver car c’est souvent complet.

What a terrific restaurant! Found this gem during my last trek to Paris and went in for lunch. Really glad we did! It’s in the 12^th arrond. — away from the tourist areas (yea!). Wonderful, fresh-​prepared Moroccan food. The service was friendly & helpful. Great atmosphere.
GO!

While I was alone in Paris I stayed near the Gare Du Lyon. Not a popular place to stay, but perfect for the lone traveler who wanted authentic Parisian experience.
Every evening I would pass this restaurant on the way back to my hotel. I saw magical things going on at the tables outside and inside. The place was something from my dreams. People sitting outside feasting on whole meats, cous cous, carafes of wine, rose water teas served in interesting foriegn metal objects, smoking clay pots, lush colors and fragances I have never ever smelled before.
Needless to say, I was kicking myself over and over again after I left to go to Provence, and didn’t get to eat at this place. Luckily, about a month later my husband met me, and I had an opportunity to take him there for lunch. Even though it wasnt dark out, and it didn’t have the same ambiance, it was everything and more that I could have asked for.
I have never had morrocan food. Thai was the new frontier for me up tot his point, and I am always searching for new tastes to get addicted too. This did me in. We ordered something called a Tajine, which is a clay pot with a pyramid on top of it. What you do is layer lamb, vegetables, almonds, prunes and whatever else they put into that and put it into an oven. They bring the entire thing to your table. Our waiter was amazing. Not letting us order too much. They are large portions. Almost everything is accompanied by a small grain cous cous served with white raisons. The tower of desserts (we did not get) looked so amazing, and I LOVED my rose water tea served in the mini metal pot. We had a carafe of wine also that was very nice. Prices range for lunch from 8 Euro to 16. Not to bad at all. Such an experience. We went back twice for lunch, I am determined to go back to Paris just to go for dinner and have that magical experience outside like I saw everyone else having. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

Couscous du dimanche
Après un weekend au vert quoi de mieux qu’un bon couscous? Bön il faut admettre que l’idée était saugrenue, mais je né regrette pas, accueil sympa, service rapide et bon couscous, le tout pour une addition pas salée. bref de temps en temps ça né fait pas de mal…

Vous souhaitez manger un très bon (et surtout très copieux) couscous à Paris et pour un prix raisonnable. Voici «le Berbère» tout près du marché d’Aligre.
On peut aussi prendre à l’emporter. (une portion peut faire l’affaire pour deux personnes)
Une semoule moelleuse, des grains de raisons secs, des légumes croquant. bref rien que d’en parler j’en ai l’eau à la bouche.
Courrez-​y, régalez-​vous.
