Open the door to this restaurant, with its rather nondescript exterior, and you'll discover an Arabian palace with heavily ornate décor, as kitsch as could be, offering the very best of its culinary delights. The owner extends a warm welcome with a recommendation to try an unusual type of couscous made from barley and lightly seasoned with fragrant spices. The choice on the menu is wide, including a couscous served with grouper originating from Tunisia. They follow the traditional combinations of lamb with prunes or honey, or spiced chicked with fruit, and just one taste releases an enigmatic blend of sweet and savoury. Given the excellent quality of the food, Le Fémina is very good value for money.

Syria meets Marseille! This establishment offers quality food, for fans of Middle-Eastern cuisine. For starters, the mezzes (a selection of cold meats and salads) include aubergines with fromage frais and olive oil, vine leaves, houmus or tabouleh. The hot dishes are equally tempting. Lamb kebabs or shish taouk (chicken kebabs with lemon) with vermicelli rice are good choices. Finish up with a pastry and tea or coffee. Authentic and delicious.
