About this spot
Smala delivers an authentic Algerian experience in Saint-Gilles where the slow-cooked lamb tagine melts in your mouth and the spicy merguez sausages are grilled to perfection. Expect a lively, bustling atmosphere that feels like a neighborhood gathering spot rather than a formal dining room.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Merguez' platter to share with friends as it is often sold by weight at this counter-service style eatery.
- Ask for extra harissa on the side if you want to elevate the flavor of the traditional couscous.
