I must have one good meal of couscous every time I am in Paris, this time it was at La Soumman. La Soumman is on a wonderful quiet, romantic street tucked away in the Latin quarter, yards away from Notre Dame, and steps from the river. I ordered the couscous royale, an enormous serving of fluffy couscous, outstanding broth, and a selection of five different kind of meats. My wife had the full menu with an entre and dessert for 19 euros- a bargain compared to much of the food in the area, especially when you consider the quality. The wine, while not spectacular, was also a good value (we ordered a bottle of cotes du rhone). While the room isn't spectacular, it is well appointed with North African pottery and photographs. The service, while not overly formal, was welcoming and kind. Please go, there were only a few other people at La Soummam and I want to make sure it is there when I am next in Paris.

    What a great meal - I had the Couscous de la Chef, and it was enough for two people. It was delicious, it included three types of meat - chicken, spicy sausage and meatballs. There was a terrine of vegetables in a wonderful light broth. Plus raisins, a hot mixture and chickpeas rounded out the offering. I look forward to returning to try the Tajine options. The waiter was attentive and friendly. When ordering I asked him if it would be too much food to also have a Starter and he responded that the Couscous would be plenty of food.

    We live in England and first went to La Soummam 26 years ago on Valentine's Day 1998.. We have just returned, from the UK, for our silver wedding anniversary. It was a perfect night with the restaurant just as we remembered. The restaurant is lovely, the food is wonderful and the welcome friendly.. Great prices for fabulous food and we thoroughly recommend the Cous Cous Royale. Anyone coming here will have an excellent meal in lovely surroundings.

    We are not experts on Moroccan or any North African cuisine, but we found the food to be bland and uninspired. The calamari were frozen and reheated. The Algerian wine was very good. Service was friendly and professional. Place was just OK.

    Excellent, flavorful North African cuisine. A special “hidden” gem close to Île Saint-Louis but not at all touristy. Would love to return.
