Social Profile:

Named for the Parisian neighborhood at the foot of the Sacre-Coeur, known as a little piece of North Africa. It is a melting pot of Parisian and North African culture, cuisine, music & decor. With a menu that takes its lead from Morocco, North Africa’s culinary star, balanced with traditional French brasserie fare and a cozy atmosphere echoing the bistros of Paris, our goal is to bring the Barbès Paris vibe to Hoboken!

Intimate spot with a mix of French & North African food & vibe based on a Parisian neighborhood.

My mother and I visited Barbès for a Saturday brunch yesterday. We had never been. We decided to order the goat cheese and mushroom omelette and the watermelon feta salad and share. Omg. Best omelette ever. We liked it so much we ordered another one! Wonderful service- everything was delicious. We can’t wait to come back again!

Terrible food. I got steak and eggs for brunch and the steak, which was supposed to be medium rare, was a very cheap cut cooked grey inside. The eggs were slimy and almost as white as egg whites, very likely from a bag.

Extremely slow service. We waited over an hour for food, and had to go find our server multiple times, including to get the check. It wasn’t even busy.

Very bad experience, will not be back.

Excellent address. We came here around 5pm without reservation. Shout out to lalla Karima for her delicious recipes and the most delicious pastilla au lait I have ever tried. We had the barbes trio (zaalouk is a must), pois chiche salad, lamb couscous, and chicken pastilla Everything was delightful

The atmosphere was amazing! The staff are all very nice and sweet. It made our experience very pleasurable. The French Onion Soup was good. The mediterranean food didn’t really have the typical Mediterranean spices — I’d absolutely come back and try more of the French food.

Came here for dinner and was really hoping to like it, but it was a bit disappointing. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. We ordered drinks and my cocktail was delicious! For appetizers, we had the cigares de poisson and the roasted vegetable salad with goat cheese. Salad was pretty good but the cigares could’ve been better. Then it was just downhill from there. We ordered the lamb kofta tagine and a side of potatoes. The meatballs were dry and unseasoned, same with the couscous it came with. We never got our potatoes, after asking twice. We planned on getting dessert but opted out after the entree snafu. Our server tried to remedy the situation by offering us a shot of tequila or vodka, which was a bit strange. Overall, could’ve been much better. Live music was the best part!

Apologies in advance for the novel lol

My wife had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. Oh boy, what a major disappointment, not only by the quality of the food, but also the overall service.

We ordered three appetizers, the Barbes trio, briouats and the crevette diablo, out of which the most “flavorful” were the briouats and the hummus from the trio. Everything else had zero flavor, especially the crevette diablo which was in a harrisa based sauce. No pop, nothing. Also, the bread they served to eat with the dips was burnt and like cardboard. Wife pointed out the bread was burnt, our server Omar (very, very obnoxious, who supposedly “knows” Moroccan food and the reason for the 1-star for service) said he would get us some baguette, which was also somewhat burnt. He had to nerve to say, that it tastes good like that. Like.. what?

When the host came over asking how things were, in addition to telling him about the flavorless appetizers, my wife showed him the bread, to which he remarked, oh it’s burnt. LOL! So you have Omar who tried to convince us burnt bread is good, totally contradicting the host, who was much more gracious and willing to listen to what we were saying about the food than our server.

Anyway, we also ordered the Barbes Royale entree to share. Wife wanted to just pay for what we had and leave, but decided to stay for the entree. Boy I wish we had left 🙁 Other than the merguez, everything else had no flavor — the chicken, lamb and the couscous. They provided a broth to pour over the couscous to give it flavor… guess what? The broth had no flavor!

In the end, we told the host that we did NOT enjoy our food. He asked if we had Moroccan before. I told him we’ve been to Morocco and are very familiar with Moroccan cuisine. He tried to tell us, it’s not going to taste the same here in the US. We’ve been too many Moroccan restuarants, particularly in the tri-state area, which had flavorful, good food. Omar was nearby trying to argue this is Morocan food, intimating we don’t know what Moroccan food is. This is the guy trying to convince us burnt cardboard pita is good! LOL! Very disrespectful, dismissive attitude.

We love coming here with our friends for a nice dinner. The food is always very fresh and well made. They have an extensive drink list. Highly recommend any of the items on the menu because I haven’t had anything I don’t like.

The couscous was good (and vegetarian), but shawarma was too dry and too plain. It felt like they just boiled chicken for my shawarma and put it on top of lettuce with some sauce. It might pass as a diet meal, but I wanted something delicious.

Anyway the atmosphere was really nice. I like their interior and vibe. They have nice live music at weekend’s nights.

Great little French/Moroccan spot with a very local feel. Many of the folks at the bar were regular locals and the owner+ main server were very attentive.

We loved most of the items: the snails were perhaps the only average dish, all else were great. The calamari and the cheese platter stood out the most.

The cocktails are delicious and they have great french fries so it’s a great place for drinks and snacks (especially with the live music).

The orange sauce and the sweet potato mash in the Magret de Canard really brings out the natural sweetness of the duck meat.

The star of every trip for me though is the desserts. The happy affogato is a truly special experience that is a must try for coffee lovers and haters alike. The amaro perfectly bridges the gap between the bitterness of the espresso and the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream to create an entirely new flavor that is simply divine. They also happen to have the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever had. I like to take a sip of the (melted and mixed) happy affogato, then take a spoonful of the mousse, and then rinse my mouth with water before doing it all over again. A prefect end to a meal.
