If only we had taken heed of our lonely planet guide, whose author had tried to forewarn us that at this establishment, "prices run high for dinner" and "service can be agonisingly slow". Why the lonely planet guide had seen fit to include Le Grand Cafe de la Poste at all is still beyond me.

If you do decide to try this place, it might be best to pretend that all the waitresses are actually zombies devoid of sight, hearing or independent thought, and that the maitre d' is their zombie master, equally devoid of sight and hearing but with a slight hint of consciousness - just enough to comprehend how angry and dissatisfied all her customers are (and their were quite a few while we were there) but not enough to be capable of doing anything about it. That way, at least, the restaurant's operations will make some sort of sense. If not, bring a good book to read while you wait for your bill to come.

Truly the worst restaurant experience I have ever had.

Went for lunch just before New Year. Fortunately arrived early so we were shown a table for two. The ambience and atmosphere, the food and the staff is really like being in Southern France, with some Moroccan dishes thrown into the menu just to remind the well-heeled patrons of where they actually are.
The Moroccan sourced oysters were top-notch. In fact, all the food was excellent, the service was very pleasant, only the bill was a little top heavy - it's really Euroland priced for tourists, ex- French pats and the well heeled locals. All in all a very positive eating experience but just feel this is not really the genuine, authentic deal we were really looking for in Morocco. Having said that we had eaten our fare share of Tajines, Cous-Cous, Pastillas, Harira soup and Méchoui lamb so this was in all honesty a bit of a cop-put, a guilty pleasure indulging in the delights of the former colonial masters, whose influences and are still very much present in the country.

This place was great, loved the atmosphere, the food, and the staff. We were made feel extremely welcome from the minute we arrived. Food was beautiful, recommend the prawn and monkfish tagine, it was lovely!

We showed up for lunch and our guide had already left us. We walk up to ask for a table and the kitchen has closed with all these people eating around us!
