Chez Omar

$$, North African, République


Fodor's Review:

The fashion pack has largely moved on (to places such as Le Martel, run by a former Chez Omar waiter), but the quality of the couscous has never dropped at this popular, no-reservations address (arrive early to avoid an agonizing wait). Order your couscous with grilled skewered lamb, spicy merguez sausage, lamb shank, or chicken -- portions are generous -- and sip a glass of robust, fruity Algerian or Moroccan wine. Proprietor Omar Guerida speaks English and is famously friendly to all. The setting is that of a beautifully faded French bistro, complete with elbow-to-elbow seating, so be prepared to partake of your neighbors' conversations.
