Lonely Planet review for Momo

Sister of the celebrated 404 in Paris’ Marais district, this wonderfully atmospheric North African restaurant is stuffed with cushions and lamps, and staffed by all-dancing, tambourine-playing waiters. It’s a funny old place that manages to be all things to all diners, who range from romantic couples to raucous office-party ravers. Service is very friendly and the dishes are as exciting as you dare to be, so after the meze eschew the traditional and ordinary tajine (stew cooked in a traditional clay pot) and tuck into the splendid Moroccan speciality pastilla, a scrumptious nutmeg and pigeon pie. There’s outside seating in this quiet backstreet in the warmer months.

    The real deal...

    luketipping recommends this,

    Came here after a wonderful trip to morocco, and wanted to keep the dream alive.

    Started off by having a cocktail in the tea-room next to the restaurant. Great vibe. Interior is very similar to the kind you would find in the heart of the Marrakech medina walls. The restaurant is great too. Squint your eyes at times and you could almost be back in Marrakech.

    The food is great too. Beware of the grumpy waiters and waitresses, though.
