El Sénior

★ 3.9 · 138 reviews Biskra Opened Opening date unknown

The bread basket regulars order over the pizza.

El Senior has built a following less on any single dish than on the bread, baked in house rather than bought in, which shows up under the chorba and alongside the bricks. It's a big, family-style dining room in Hai El Qods, the kind of place that fills up for weekend lunch with groups rather than couples.

The menu is broad, chorba and crème de volaille through to gratins and pizza, which sometimes makes it harder to pin down what the kitchen does best. Regulars point to the soups and the bread basket over the pizza end of the menu.

Good to know

• The soups and bread are the strong point, not the pizza.
• Big groups welcome, it's built for that.

  Quiet location with a beautiful view of the mosque from the terrace. Very warm and welcoming staff. The meal was beautifully presented and perfect from appetizer to dessert. Truly impeccable.

  Visiting Biskra, I found this restaurant very nice and very clean. It's a shame they didn't also offer traditional regional dishes, but I still recommend it!
