L’Atlas — Restaurant in Paris

VERY UNFRIENDLY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE ANOTHER PLACE THAT WANTS ONLY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FOREIGNERS We found this restaurant on internet and wanted to give it a try. We ordered some food and asked a suggestion for the wine. A waitress suggested one and a different waiter came to take the order, they were talking in Arabic between them, so to be sure, I pointed to the bottle of wine we have decided for on the menu, it was a 26€ botle. At checkout I realized the bottle of wine was charged 11€ MORE than what was written in the menu and when I asked for an explanation they said they gave us THAT expensive bottle and we drunk it so they could not do anything at that point.. I did not even remember a single bottle on the menu for 35€!!! I know I have an accent but I perfectly understand French after being in Paris for more than 10 years.. so I know what the waitress and waiter said to me and what I asked for. Very unpleasant situation as I also was with some friends visiting...

We ordered couscous. Not the best in a city where you can find restaurants serving couscous almost every other street. They give a serving of semolina and bye bye, they don't leave the dish on the table - unlike all their competitors. And don't expect a second serving: no one shows up for that. When it come to pay, they eventually bring you the check and wait again to get the change: they're too busy talking to each other. Don't go there: the 3* are mostly...

I have been in the mood for Moroccan good and this restaurant hit the spot. Not to be confused with Atlas, a nearby French restaurant as they were quick to point out when I left this review for them and not this restaurant. The waiter served potatoes and olives while I decided on what to order. They were quite flavorful and the olives were spicy. I enjoyed the Moroccan soup which was chick peas, lentils and rice with cilantro and parsely served with dates on the side. The waiter convinced me to have the half bottle of Morrocan red wine. Which at 1st sip I was not impressed but did grow on me throughout the meal. For the main course I had the tagine with apricots which was served with coucous. The lamb was tender and the over all dish was delicious. I would return. The meal ended with a complimentary tea. I also...
