Just off the beaten track on a side street, this restaurant serves delicious couscous and tagine dishes at reasonable prices. It's a bit of an oasis away from the tourist madness. I hope to go here every time I'm lucky enough to be in Paris!

What a great meal - I had the Couscous de la Chef, and it was enough for two people. It was delicious, it included three types of meat - chicken, spicy sausage and meatballs. There was a terrine of vegetables in a wonderful light broth. Plus raisins, a hot mixture and chickpeas rounded out the offering. I look forward to returning to try the Tajine options. The waiter was attentive and friendly. When ordering I asked him if it would be too much food to also have a Starter and he responded that the Couscous would be plenty of food.

We are not experts on Moroccan or any North African cuisine, but we found the food to be bland and uninspired. The calamari were frozen and reheated. The Algerian wine was very good. Service was friendly and professional. Place was just OK.

We live in England and first went to La Soummam 26 years ago on Valentine's Day 1998.. We have just returned, from the UK, for our silver wedding anniversary. It was a perfect night with the restaurant just as we remembered. The restaurant is lovely, the food is wonderful and the welcome friendly.. Great prices for fabulous food and we thoroughly recommend the Cous Cous Royale. Anyone coming here will have an excellent meal in lovely surroundings.

Excellent, flavorful North African cuisine. A special “hidden” gem close to Île Saint-Louis but not at all touristy. Would love to return.

I've been coming to La Soummam for several years now and have never been disappointed. The food is very good, service is friendly yet professional and everyone I have brought here has been delighted. Last night we requested the only open window table and were told unfortunately that table had been reserved. Just after placing our order we were pleasantly surprised when our charming server told us that he had held the table for over 30 minutes and if we still wanted that table we could have it. We had delicious lamb tagines with olives and preserved lemons as well as a small carafe of wine at the perfect table. I always try to return to Soumman whenever I am in Paris and highly recommend it as a comfortable and very pleasant place to have delicious Moroccan cuisine.
