Looking for a great Moroccan dining experience in Paris

My wife and I will be staying in the 6th for 10 days in July and have a long list of bistros and food purveyors. We would also like to have an authenic Moroccan dinner experience. We look forward to your thoughts.

My favorite is L'Atlas, boulevard Saint-Germain.

Souk in the 11th; Pouf!, as you say...

My daughter and I were in Paris last August (big mistake, zillions of tourists and half the restaurants I wanted to visit were closed). We were out and about on my birthday without a reservation. Just across from the Pompidou Center was a Moroccan restaurant whose name I'm sorry I can't recall. It was plain from the outside, but when we walked in ... Pouf! ... 1001 Arabian nights! We were seated promptly; our waiter tried out his English on us and I tried my French. We had a tomato and roasted pepper salad that was lovely, for entrees I had chicken tagine with preserved lemons and my daughter had a huge couscous with chicken, lamb and merguez sausages. Way too much food for us both. The restaurant filled up rather quickly with large family groups of people, many of whom I believe were Moroccan. Maybe the best part of the evening was the bottle of white wine from Morocco, delicious. We had never had Moroccan food before so I can't compare it to anything else, but the atmosphere was lovely, the wine was delicious, and I was in Paris on my birthday with my daughter. What's not to love?

I for myself like La Table de Fes, in the southern 6th (Rue Sainte-Beuve) off Blvd. Montparnasse.

Second that. There's also Essaouira on rue du Ranelagh.
