Taken over by the joyous Bonjour/Bonsoir team, already running Le Badaboum and Panic Room, this former temple of Parisian nightlife has been transformed into a festive neo-bistro. La Casbah is a bar where one enjoys cocktails by Tarek Nini (ex-Experimental Cocktail Club), a lounge behind mashrabiyas and a dining-room with Bohemian chic decor signed Lola Ferrara-Wyszkop in a duo with Les Autruches. In the kitchens : chef Abdel Alaoui accompanied by the young chef Yassmine Yssef offers delicate and refined oriental cuisine. La Casbah, 20 rue de la Forge Royale, Paris 11 (01 88 33 41 78). www.lacasbah.paris
