Restaurant Dinarjat
( 0537 72 42 39; 6 Rue Belgnaoui; meals Dh300-400; lunch & dinner)
Stylish and elegant, Din-
arjat is a favourite with well-heeled locals and visitors alike. It's set in a superb 17th-cen-
tury Andalucian-style house at the heart of the medina, and has been carefully restored
and decorated in a contemporary style but in keeping with tradition. The restaurant is an
ode to the Arab-Andalucian art of living with its sumptuous architecture, refined tradition-
al food and peaceful oud music. The tajines, couscous and salads are prepared with the
freshest ingredients, using little fat, and are surprisingly light. Book in advance.
