Profile

Devoid of the usual "atmospherics," this terrific Moroccan restaurant focuses on the food—succulent tagines and fluffy couscous—instead of exotic décor and shimmying entertainment. Even so, it would take an especially hyperkinetic belly shaker to distract us from a flaky, aromatic chicken b'steeya, or a fragrant lamb tagine, its meat as soft as the plump raisins and prunes it's cooked with. Local expats congregate here for strong coffee and honey-steeped pastries, and if we lived anywhere nearby, so would we. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Living in Bay Ridge means that there are many wonderful Middle Eastern restaurants to choose from, but La Maison du Couscous definitely rates #1 for me. The owner is extremely friendly and the restaurant has a very intimate, local feel. This restaurant is very vegetarian-friendly- most of the tagines can be ordered meat-free. For veggies, I recommend the artichoke heart and pea tagine. The food is great but this restaurant is not good for large parties- the tables are tiny and it was uncomfortable for the five of us to sit together.
