La Brick - Paris

We were very much looking forward to this place after reading all the positive recommendations. And were very much disappointed. The service was average at best, the wine was less than average and the food was not seasoned at all. If I go to a maroccan place, I want to taste something new and expect delicious spices. The food we had was barely seasoned with anything. It was not bad, just very boring and plain. I would not want to eat it again.

We are staying in the 20th and it’s only about a 5 minute walk from our hotel. I have to say this is probably the best meal we have had so far in Paris. The owner/chef is from Algeria and is the nicest person to talk to even though we don’t speak French. Had the dinner special. Can’t go wrong plus the brick is the bomb! I had the chicken brick and my partner had beef. She was totally blown away by our meal too. Wish we had found this gem a week ago! This small cozy cool hip place needs to be on the Paris Gastro map!!!!

Fantastic food, we had Tajin and couscous. The chicken was perfectly spiced. Everything was perfect. Definitely worth coming to if you want to eat authentic berber food. The wife of the owner gave us the recipe for the burick as well and the owner was entertaining.

Staying at a friend's flat in the same street we passed La Brick daily, and usually found it almost empty. What a shame! A gem still waiting to be discovered and appreciated by people outside of the local neighbourhood it is! While many (though not all) restaurants in the 19e/20e arrondissement serve Asian (mostly Chinese and Vietnamese, ,but also Thai, Lao, Korean) food La Brick is oriented towards the Maghreb, with hearty Tajines and Couscous dishes, deliciously and expertly seasoned with ras el hanout, baharat, harissa, cumin, ginger, paprika, cinnamon, saffron, fresh peppermint, parsley, or coriander. Amazing flavours and aromas indeed, and well balanced! Cordial hospitality, attention to detail, and fair prices. Highly recommended!

It was a lovely little place to have dinner. The food was excellent and the very charming decoration.
