Bersot De L'orient - Besançon

A most welcoming hostess whose advice and friendliness encourage more dining there. We had the SALON: very comfortable couches and armchairs. The couscous was excellent as is the wine.

This is a family-run restaurant and when you enter you immediately feel like family too. They're so friendly. The person serving that night may not speak English but the menu is in English too so no big deal if you don't speak French. The review that said there is only couscous is incorrect. They have many appetizers and then they have couscous with a base of vegetables and four meat options that you can mix and match and a few tajine dishes, though one tajine dish has to be ordered in advance since it takes a long time to prepare. They have awesome homemade desserts and tea too. I have been living in this town for two years now and this restaurant has become our favorite. We always bring our visitors here. It's so welcoming, they remember who we are, and the food is filling and satisfying.

Friendly family run restaurant. We enjoyed cous cous with three meats, succulent lamb on the bone, spicy sausage and chicken on the bone with veg soup like sauce. For dessert home made baklavas gazelle almond biscuits and mint tea. Limited choice this evening (New Year’s Day, Sunday evening) as it appeared they were maybe not planning to be open. We were very pleased they were! Seventy euro for two with wine.

Incredible experience with very copious and equally delicious dishes with perfect staff, super friendly atmosphere and price (13€ for a daily lunch special) with starter dishes, dessert and tea which are completely exquisite. I highly recommend.

Kheira welcomes you with a big smile, it's a pleasure to taste her delicious cuisine! Delighted to have discovered this establishment! Go for it, I recommend it!
