BUT, the mint tea was excellent, the coffee very good and the sweets delicious. Best of all was the service. Friendly, helpful and they gave me a free date. Didn't try the food, but we saw it going past us and it looked very fine.

It's food that's filling but won't leave you feeling bloated or as though you've eaten badly. The service is excellent and there are some tasty vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options for those inclined. It's a little on the pricy side, but for the quality of the food and the service, it's well worth it. If you're happy spending a minimum of $40 for dinner, try out Le Souk. You won't be disappointed! Oh, and definitely try the Lamb Tagine, which has been slow-cooked for six to seven hours. It's incredible!

The first time I passed Le Souk, Azou the owner asked me if I would like to date him, which weirded me as I initially thought he was a random passerby , but in his hand was a bowl full of fruit dates and tongs in his other hand. He gave me a fruit date. Turns out that he approaches customers too, with his date puns. I think it's an effective way to attract customers, because that will be my most memorable part of Le Souk, and Azou is friendly too. The date was really sweet and nice. I returned to Le Souk after walking around the entire market, for brunch not because of the dates , where I was greeted warmly by the lady cooking the paellas and Azou. I ordered a large chicken paella for $18.70 $18.50 $0.20 card surcharge , which was immediately served hot in a large plastic bowl The first bite was amazing. The flavours blended well. The chicken and rice was soft. The portion was huge. Azou offered me another fruit date, which paired well with the paella. Overall, the meal was incredibly satisfying and evoked a homeliness feeling I highly recommend eating at Le Souk to anyone who goes to the Adelaide Central Markets; it was my most favourite meal in Adelaide. Be prepared, for Azou has many date puns up his sleeve Thank you Le Souk for a delicious paella and good dining experience Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $1–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

While alot of their menu items may be a bit over-budget for me, I do always go for their paella and lentil soups- They never disappoint. I usually order them with extra harissa which I find very addictive. I do wish they would deliver their plated dishes to the outer tables rather than the customer carrying them. Nonetheless, I still recommend to experience this joint in the markets %100. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
