Le Tagine - Review - 11th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"For 40 years, the French-Moroccan owners of this 11th arrondissement restaurant have been spotlighting two unexpected pairings: Moroccan classics and natural wine. In fact, this spot was fanatic about the unfiltered, funky stuff long before le vin nature was a buzzword. Neighborhood families gather at lunch while the wine-obsessed locals from across the city come at night to sit beneath striking moucharabieh lanterns and dig into one of ten different couscous dishes and tagine specials with vegetables, lamb, or chicken. What makes their versions better than the hundreds of others in Paris is their use of the absolute best produce, meats, and spices sourced from a who’s-who of French suppliers and farmers, which the servers are happy to tell you about at length." - Lindsey Tramuta
