Classic Oranais cuisine and French-Algerian bistro fare in the city heart
Steps from the famous lion statues of Place du 1er Novembre, Brasserie de la Place occupies a grand colonial-era building that has served the people of Oran since 1932. With its marble-topped tables, tiled floors and brass fixtures, stepping inside feels like stepping back in time.
The menu is a love letter to the Franco-Algerian kitchen: slow-cooked Tajine, traditional Couscous Oranais, croque monsieur, Chorba soup, grilled lamb chops with chermoula and freshly baked khobz bread throughout the day.
Brasserie de la Place is open from 7am for breakfast through to late evening. It is especially atmospheric at lunch and during the early evening when local professionals gather for coffee and conversation.
