( 0524 88 24 73; Ave Moulay Rachid; meals Dh200-250; 11am-10pm Mon-Sat) After a week of
desert dining, you may find yourself sleepwalking to this French bistro opposite the Ber-
bère Palace. Here in cosy nooks lit by a mellow, yellow glow from dozens of brass wall
lamps Aurélie and Charlie serve an impressive menu of foie gras, smoked salmon, beef
carpaccio, duck confit and even homemade liquorice-and-mint ice cream. If there are any
film stars in town, they'll probably be dining here, too.

Le Relais Saint Exupéry
( 0524 88 77 79; www.relais-ouarzazate.com ; 13 Blvd Moulay Abdellah; set menu Dh270, dinner mains
Dh80-150; 11.30am-2.30pm & 6-10pm) The Relais serves creative dishes featuring local in-
gredients such as Talouine saffron and Saharan salt. Try flaky pastilla of fish, or
dromedary meat in a Mali-inspired sauce of garlic, cumin, ginger and paprika. It may
seem odd to find adventurous gastronomy near the Ouarzazate airport, but this airport was
an inspiration to Little Prince author and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
