“Fantastic dining experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

We visited this after reading the reviews. First the bad bit, as reported it is difficult to find and involves going through some streets you probably wouldn't visit! Having said this taxi's do not cost much so this is probably a better option. A big burly guy met us at teh little alley and escorted us to the restaurant. The place itself if stunning inside and the food and service was as good as any top class restuarant. We even received a free glass of prosecco with our meal. Best restaurant we visited in Marrakech.

We didnt book bt luckily got the table though we were quite early before the opening hrs but the staff happily let us in. Good ambience n very clean environment. As we r pure veg, we had ordered pasta n was really tasty...got a glass of champagne on offer with morrocan sweet dishes...thnx. good service n quick too - well done n very friendly approach by management staff. Though expensive bt worth it.

“Definitely recommended.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

Decided we needed a break from tajines on our 6th day in Morocco, went on tripadvisor and found this place. This place is quite easy to get to if you follow the sign to the left of Cafe de France, even if it seems to lead you down a dodgy alley. We went on a Monday for lunch, and found out that the restaurant do not serve on Mondays, but the lovely people at the riad where the restaurant's located served us orange juice and told us to just enjoy the place for awhile. We decided to try out luck again the next day and this time we managed to dine at the restaurant! I ordered the seafood tagliatelle and it was delicious. It was 130 dirhams, drinks was 20 dh for a coke, which is pricey by moroccan standards but definitely worth it for the food and the atmosphere of the place.

“Good to avoid Marrakech”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

Found this restaurant trough Tripadvisor and we decided to try it. The italian food menu was excellent because i ont like italian food but i love the food fom this restaurant. My partner had the chicken Tajine and it was okay because we dont really like Tajin, if you just want to try Tajine, go to jamaa el fna where you can try Tajine with less pice. The ambiance is superb,, really good to have a romntic dinner.

“Good food, but let down by slow service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

The food was actually quite good. We had the Harira Soup for first with bread. The soup was very large (good!) but a little watery for my taste (but I guess it is supposed to be like that). The bread was freshly made there and tasted very good. For mains we had the courgette ravioli which was made with fresh homemade pasta and a tajine. The pasta was very good but the tajine was average. Probably wouldn't have ordered the tajine with hindsight but as this was our first night in Morocco, we didn't know better...

Be aware that they open for food at 7.30pm which is a bit unusual...

The menu was only in French, so we had to get them to translate each dish line by line... it's not hugely difficult for them to print English ones (its already translated on their website!)

The cost is expensive in Moroccan terms, but reasonably priced for us as we're used to paying London restaurant prices.

So why am I giving this a 3* review? Well, once we had finished our food and we wanted the bill so we could leave quickly (as we had to leave our Riad at 7am the following morning for an excursion), they took 30-40 mins to bring our bill. We had to ask for it 5 times. If it weren't for this I'd be giving 4*.
