Restaurant la Comete

Top choice in Algeria


At this old-fashioned restaurant, ever popular and rather dusty, waiters wear pristine white suit jackets and look like they've been doing the job for decades and old men come back day after day to religiously sit at the same table. The food, which is genuinely good, includes steaks, lots of fish and a fantastic paella on Friday.
