Le Maison Du Couscous

Eating couscous in a restaurant is a bit of a sin for an Algerian. Couscous is a dish that you prepare at home, and you appreciate it even more when it comes from its mother. This is a good eatery that serves good home food (couscous, but also other local specialties to try as well). As a result, only a few restaurants sell couscous à la carte.

If you don't get asked to lunch with an Algerian family, head to the Maison du couscous, an unmissable place located just a few feet from the Sacré-coeur cathedral. Couscous, made from barley or wheat, is served every day in a warm Berber style. Other typical foods featured on the map are rechta, ou, and rural soups, as well as chorba. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is excellent.
