Barbès Restaurant is named after the famous Paris neighborhood at the foot of the Sacre-Coeur, also known as the 'little piece of North Africa'. The Northernmost part of Africa, the Maghreb, is comprised of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia with cultures captivating with their cuisine, music and decor.

Barbès is a melting pot of Parisian and Maghreb cultures and Barbès Restaurant carries that spirit.

I went to Barbes as a company dinner with our vendor in Hong Kong. We decided to come to Barbes since it's close to my company and were told that it has good food. I love the decor. Small place but very cozy. I love the exotic and relazing instrumental music in the background. The food was fast and very great. The best part of my dinner was the sorbet. It was very yummy.
