Le Berbere - Deauville

Great couscous, very friendly staff, good interiors, perfect lunch place in Deauville! My husband and I are vegetarian, so we had a great veggie stew and pomme de terre fourchette avec légumes. Good choice for anyone who might be vegetarian and are looking for a great, healthy yet heavy meal!

Tired of the usual food, we wanted to try something different during a stay in Deauville and experienced the new Berbere, which has recently moved to the Quai de la Marine. Obviously not local food, this Moroccan restaurant is nonetheless an amazing traditional place, with a cosy atmosphere, generous couches where you can sit comfortably to enjoy a couscous or tajine, kindly served by a friendly staff... all in a modern decor with a view on the port (it 's facing the Deauville Yacht Club). We were worried by some other (negative) feedbacks and therefore kept our eyes open to find the 'glitch ' likely to occur, which could have explained other commentators ' experience. But all was perfect and the food was of the highest quality (we tried the couscous royal to have a significant sample of meat). We will surely go there again and try other dishes they seem to have regular updates to their menu with local food cooked in a traditional Moroccan dish (e.g. couscous with a sort of fish today). We may try it next time...

We visited here as a family of four, after passing by a previous evening. We didn't book but were greated with smiles and seated quickly. The restaurant was very busy with a mix of couples and families. A very interesting and cosy moroccan interior. The idea seems to be that your order your meat or vegetable dish and a central bowl of couscous is served to share. I had a selection of lamb which also came with a merguez sausage, the meat was well flavoured and tender, however, I did need to share some vegetable tagine or it would have been a dry meal, harissa is available if you ask. My daughter had a vegetable tagine which was served in the pot, a large portion and she could only manage half. My husband had a chicken tagine which he enjoyed but again too much and he does have a large appetite! My son had a plate complete which came with a selection of meat, vegetables, frites, salad and egg. I thought the couscous was very generous but we could not eat even half, my son is 16 and is never full, but it was too much and we felt guilty leaving it. The staff were understanding and very friendly. I would go back but would order a better selection next time.

S'offrir u couscous , un vrai, est toujours une prise de risque tant les restaurants proposent parfois tout et n'importe quoi.Cette adresse à Deauville fait pour moi partie ds tout meilleurs ! Rien que cela ! Un cadre superbe, manifestement remis à neuf récemment, avec des couleurs chaudes qui conviennent parfaitement à l'ambiance soutenue par un fond musical jamais envahissant.Les deux points forts sont l’accueil et le service, diligent, jeune, souriant, affable, un rêve devenu bien rare dans de trop nombreux restaurants en France. Ici on est accueilli et servi avec un réel soin et un vrai souci du client.L'autre point fort est évidemment la carte. Le choix est simple sans être restreint et les formules sont bien calibrées. Une fois dans l'assiette on se régale d'une semoule parfaite, les viandes sont de qualité évidente, fraîches, et les légumes concluent le tout avec élégance.La carte des vins est très bien.Pour conclure, je e peux que recommander très chaudement ce couscous qui ravira les amateurs.Pour le "fun" une 404 Peugeot d'époque devant l'entrée.Vraiment une très belle expérience à u prix très raisonnable.

Très bon accueil et couscous très abondant et délicieux. Banquette confortable. On y reviendra avec plaisir. Paul et Laurence.
