"Couscous is distinguished by its succulent and pleasant taste."
"The couscous: it’s their specialty. The real Berber couscous, just like in the desert: vegetarian and with no sauce and its “seffae” offshoot served with coddled milk. While the couscous with merguez obviously does the job, the one served with home-made méchouis is really deluxe!"
"This was spectacular. Cheesey with a touch of mint and light flaky pastry. A gooey mouthful of deliciousness."

"Restaurant Guides rates this restaurant: one of the best couscous restaurants in Paris. The couscous of the restaurant 404 in the Marais in Paris are excellent and trendy."
"The menu features well-executed dishes like couscous."
"For those in search of a different type of brunch, Le 404 is the ideal address. In keeping with tradition, the 404’s weekend brunch comprises sweet couscous with raisins and almonds, Moroccan hamburgers and briouats (North African pasties) followed by Berber pancakes with honey."

"A good Moroccan meal begins and ends with the couscous, the semoule. Look at how it separates, each grain should fall off the other. It was ridiculously light. Perfection. I can never ever do this at home. Period."
