Restaurants cuisine du Maghreb Languedoc Roussillon

You have to slip into a small street in the St. Roch district to find the entrance to this Ali Baba's cave. In this astonishing establishment, devoted to the cuisine of the Maghreb, you'll experience a change of scenery. In addition to the food, the owners have invested in the decor, the atmosphere and the show to allow a total escape. The room seems to be straight out of the tales of a Thousand and One Nights: furniture, mirrors, earthenware, red and gold decoration… Everything comes from Morocco. In the middle of this setting, the specialties of the country parade at a high speed rhythm, it must be said that the reputation of the restaurant precedes it. Finally, on Saturdays, an oriental dancer comes to entertain already charmed guests.

On a night street in Nîmes, where you can be served late, Lakayna is the oldest Maghreb restaurant in the city. Maintained by a Kabyle family, for nearly 20 years, this restaurant has maintained its course with the creation of a day tea salon in 2010. The beautiful display of pastries at the entrance makes it really tempting to try. Bois, octagonal, octagonal tables, colourful curtains, oriental music and oriental music, you will find North Africa in all its evocative decorum. The traditional and family kitchen is supervised by the Sympathique Sympathique, which likes spicy flavours, often sweet-salted, and the ras el hanoud (curry, cumin, turmeric). Pastillas, laminated to meat and cinnamon, hello and tagines, home specialities are served dildo. Lamb, chicken, merguez, hefta (white viande) or fish, seafood accompanied by a semolina of common wheat, vegetables and legumes (chickpeas). The gourmands will continue with desert cakes or faisselle to honey. All accompanied by a mint tea, of course.

Amateurs of orientalism, exoticism to the Thousand and a Night may be disappointed by discovering Le Djerba. A terrace under bâche (winter), a counter that holds more than a snack than a real restaurant, this is for the basic decor… For the rest, i. e. the essentials, what is on the plate: no mistake, we're at the right address! The couscous, of course, from the simplest (vegetables, bouillon, wheat semolina) to the most royal, such as the Berber served with five meats (chicken, sheep, merguez, boulettes, kebab) are served in beautiful terracotta plates filled with semolina and chickpeas and vegetables raised in spices, notamment in particular. And if Mohammed Bencherifa has had his place for a long time on Victor Hugo Boulevard, without doing more salamalecs, there is one reason: Its kitchen of Magrehb (grill, salads, tajines, oriental pastries) and its mint tea are really good.

The Epicurien has the chance to live on an historic square in old Nîmes, in the picturesque area of the Littré Island, with the strong medieval and Renaissance. The Moroccan restaurant can set its tables in the courtyard and enjoy a terrace, where you feel cut off from the urban world, quiet in the shade of the venerable linden. The map offers the oriental specialities you love: The royal hello of the four meats, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, is reserved for the big meat appetites. Végétarien vegetarian, very colourful, compensates extensively for the variety of its vegetables, legumes and cereals, which it does not have in meat. The creamy lamb mouse stew has salty sweet flavours with cinnamon perfumed prunes. Other grilled meat dishes, such as the honey of honey, lemons in candied lemons but also Moroccan salad and kémias are all alternatives to traditional hello-tajines. So do not hesitate, pass the porch and discover the intimate room of L'Epicurien, which - success oblige - gives you great incentive to book your table before coming: The weekend is often full!

For years, couscous and tajines are the specialities of this establishment, which is intended to guarantee Moroccan culinary traditions. The reception, the typical and warm decoration with tentures and artisanat, is very nice, from the waitress to the boss. Couscous is presented with its three traditional elements: abundance of seeds and vegetables, then meat made of boulettes, merguez and pieces of lamb that one would like to see more in quantity. Negative, the wait Time is a bit long. If you don't travel, you can always take a look and fork at the Gardens of Marrakech for a taste of Morocco.

Orientalisante decoration with white warheads, decorative tiles and wooden tables… no mistake, we're in a Moroccan restaurant, one of the best in the city. Low tables, cushions and soft light plunges you into the atmosphere of the Medina, especially on weekends when dancers animate the evenings or, during the summer, during green tea, which is taken on the terrace under the Berber tent. For traditional dishes, you can choose between several formulas, several varieties of couscous and tajines, of the simplest, the vegetarian, the most royal of meat, semolina, vegetables. In the entrance you can taste the pastillas (rolls of rolling bricks, stuffed with pigeon or chicken) and wines, which also come from the other side of the Mediterranean and accompany them very well. Finally, to extend total immersion, another mint tea is requested. Friendly staff like in Morocco!

Couscous, tajines and other specialities from Morocco in this restaurant. The dishes are tasty and well-seasoned, perhaps not rich enough for the meal or greedy gourmets. The service is very nice and friendly but the frame does not dream. The restaurant is also catering.
