Le Souk Saint Germain

Un beau petit cadre, il s’y dégage une ambiance feutrée et intimiste. Le serveur s’est montré de plus en plus taquin avec moi, ça en est devenu agaçant et vexant. Côté culinaire, je n’ai rien relevé de transcendant.

This is a fantastic restaurant. We stumbled upon it after being turned away at a different restaurant as they were «full», my husband remembered reading good review on tripadvisor so we decided to try it. We try not to go into just any place in Paris without having read reviews first as the city is so full of tourist traps. We were reluctant at first because it looked a bit empty and we had our 1 year old in a stroller, we weren’t sure if kids were welcome. The waiter saw us, came to the door and welcomed us in. Everyone was very accommodating and kept playing with our son. We felt very comfortable. The food was as good as it gets. We ordered an appetizer that consisted of different dips and bread (caramelized tomatoes, a carrot dish, salad etc.), they were all amazing, very rich flavours. The bread kept coming. We had mint tea, two tagines (chicken with lemon and kefta with egg) and a dessert. We loved every bite. Our son liked the caramelized tomatoes the most. One thing to note is that the menu is in French, I’m not sure if English is spoken. Yummy. It was a bit of a challenge to get through a 3 course meal with a 1 year old though the food didn’t take too long, otherwise we would be going back a second time for sure!
