I fell on Al Farachah by chance after a long day of walking around the old city. The menu posted in front of the restaurant caught my attention because it contained Moroccan dishes "with a twist".

A Farachah offers what it calls "Moroccan nouvelle cuisine", which in practice seems to mean a fresh French take on the local food. The setting is a handsome riad, with tables in and around the central courtyard, and a bar with some seating on the level above.

Went twice in the week of 23-30/12 2011. First astounded by the interior decoration, then discovered that the service and the food were on the same level. A really magic experience!Françoise, the owner, is also very helpful with tourist advice. Good wine list. More
