Le Souk, the Taste of Tajine

Another interesting restaurant we visited this weekend was a well-known Moroccan restaurant in the 11th arrondissement. Le Souk is only within 10 mins walk from the center of Bastille. The place is well decorated, along with the music, to bring up the authentic Moroccan atmosphere. The staff are also wearing the typical Moroccan clothes. The menu is composed of the typical Moroccan dishes, the Tajine and their restaurant's specials... Since I've already tried a few times of Moroccan food, I chose to go for Tajine d'Agneau aux Aubergines (Lamb with eggplant in the Tajine style) while others tried Tajine d'Agneau à la Confiture d'Oignons et Amandes and Tajine de Poulet aux Amandes. The big warm pots arrived only 5 mins later making all of us drool so badly while letting them to cool down a bit.

We ended the dinner with a stomach full with no room for any dessert. It was a pleasant evening in a pleasant restaurant. I would recommend Le Souk to anyone who is looking for a good Moroccan place.
