HASSAN AREZKI'S CANTEEN

ALGERIAN COOKING THAT IS (ALMOST) FRENCH IN A CANTEEN FOUNDED IN 1947

 -- "Why is a restaurant that seems so typically French in fact Algerian?"

-- "Because the work is extremely hard and because a 'Gaul' 

would not understand the neighborhood. But I grew up here."

Planks separate the terrace from the street with no prettying-up. Neighbors have come for three generations.

At night the bar is so packed that people buy a glass and converse in the street.

"You have a good evening, you drink, you smoke, you laugh... you don't sleep...
BUT THE NEIGHBORS DO!"

When closed.

At lunch people do not linger,
so you won't need a reservation.

But in the evening the bar is packed from 8 pm

 and the restaurant soon after:

So reserve.
