Cous Cous on the Drive

Yesterday we went to Carthage Restaurant on Commercial Drive and had great cous cous.  Jim had the more traditional with lamb shank, merquez sausage, & chicken and I went for the fresh halibut.  Excellent and we really like the ambiance and service.  Definitely a place to try again.  The owners are from Tunisia and francophone and there was a lot of French music playing like Claude Francois who we really liked but had kind of forgotten about.  I guess the music we had of his was on cassette so didn't get transferred to the iPod.  I just bought 15 of his most popular songs on iTunes and it is now on my iPod.  That also made us think of Claude Gauthier and Michel Sardou.  I'll have to get some of their stuff too.
