; 279 Ave Mohammed V; mains Dh95-200; 9am-1am)
Sleek, stylish and oozing the charms of a 1930s Parisienne brasserie, this suave restaurant
and lounge bar woos customers with its chic surroundings and classic French menu. Can-
delabras, giant palms and contemporary art adorn the grand salon while a pianist tinkles in
the background. A Rabat institution, and a good place to have breakfast or coffee, too.
Medina & Kasbah
Restaurant el-Bahia
( 0537 73 45 04; Ave Hassan II; mains Dh60; lunch & dinner)
Built into the outside of the
medina walls (a good spot for people-watching), this laid-back restaurant has the locals
lapping up hearty Moroccan fare. Sit on the pavement terrace, in the shaded courtyard or
upstairs in the traditional salon.

Restaurant de la Libération
(256 Ave Mohammed V; mains Dh60; lunch & dinner)
Cheap, cheerful and marginally more
classy than the string of other eateries along this road (ie it's got plastic menus and table-
cloths), this basic restaurant does a steady line in traditional favourites. Friday is couscous
day when giant platters of the stuff are delivered to the eager masses.

Borj Eddar
( 0537 70 15 00; mains Dh120; lunch & dinner)
Just outside the kasbah down at the beach,
this restaurant overlooking the sea has a menu of excellent fresh fish and seafood dishes.
The next door Restaurant de la Plage has a similar menu and the same views, if the Borj
Eddar is full. There's little to choose between them: both have glass-fronted terraces over-
looking the ocean.
