binmke's travel recommendations

Moroccan place in the Montparnasse neighborhood, just a short walk from the train station. Their specialty is couscous, which is served in copious amounts (come hungry or with a group of people) and is available with various kinds of meat or vegetables or both. The mint tea (thé à la menthe) after dinner is served with a traditional flourish, which makes you wonder how they can pour the tea into a tiny glass from 3 feet up and never miss. Tends to be quite crowded with folks coming to or leaving from the Gare Montparnasse. Be sure to come at a non-peak hour (ie before 19.00 or after 22.00 on a typical night) to avoid the wait for a table.
