Adams Cafe

Not a fusion-type bistro, but absolutely authentic, Adams Cafe serves North African, Moroccan, and Tunisian cuisine - the other side of the Mediterranean - as they should be. The skylights and mosaics make for a cheery, informal setting and the restaurant is family-run, so every detail is important. Perennial favourites include couscous, especially couscous royale, but a recent menu featured couscous with lamb on the bone, chickpeas, and veg. Desserts are authentic home made patisseries orientales.
