We went to Zyriab on the top floor of the Arab Institute (Institut du Monde Arabe: go to www.imarabe.org for location). Very nice and refined restaurant that makes the best couscous and tagine I've had. If you are looking for cheap couscous places, this is not for you, but if you want GREAT couscous, you should go there. Also it has the best view of Paris as well, but the view can be had for free - the Institut has a free observation deck, next to which is the restaurant. Institut also had these really cool windows that opened and closed like a camera depending on the sunlight. Check it out.

Tom, the posters are talking about the delicious North African stew (vegetarian or with lamb or chicken or garlicky sausage) called couscous, which is served over the grain preparation of the same name, with harissa, the spicy hot pepper paste that you swirl into the tasty broth.<BR><BR>I enjoyed a good couscous lunch at Chez Omar in the 11th, a few blocks from the Picasso museum.<BR>

z,<BR>I'm eager to try Atlas and would just like the second the recommendation of Le Ziriab. The views from atop the Institut du Monde Arabe are really lovely, with or without the meal, and you can also just go for tea in the afternoon, which is what we did.
