You have to find your way through the old town, but it is worth the search. Faut bien le détour like they say in Michelin guides. The restaurant is not in that guide but it really deserves that détour. Each time when we have dinner there we're pleasantly surprised about the high standard of cooking. We can not understand why...

Tucked away down a small side street in the medina, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Clean and smart european decor, with candles to add atmosphere, this restaurant is a nice change to eating mediocre tagines in some of the restaurants recommended by our hotel. Run by a belgium lady and her husband, the food is exceptionally good and... More

We had amazing chicken balls, steak - tender and perfectly seasoned - fantastic chips if pureed potato covered in a thick batter. Desert was also great, White choc cake with choc sauce. However,...

This Belgian/Moroccan restaurant has a beautiful, airy indoor space with a central fountain. The food was exquisite! We went back a second time for lunch and it was even better than the first time. Desserts were also excellent. I believe we were served by the owners, who were friendly and personable. They don't speak a lot of English, but they... More

We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant only because some of the better-known places were closed for the night. It is situated within the Medina, but away from the usual tourist traps (third derb on the left, when entering though Bab Marrakech, I think!). It has only been open a short while, so has not yet built its reputation and is... More
