FRENCH €€€
( 0537 67 11 08; 74 Blvd al-Amir Fal Ould Omar; mains Dh180; lunch & dinner) The menu and
attitude at this upmarket, old-style restaurant in Agdal are very French, but the dark
woods and rough plaster are more reminiscent of Bavaria than Bordeaux. Steak, fish and
game specialities dominate the classic French menu, and to further confuse the ambience
there's jazz or traditional Spanish music at night.
SELF-CATERING
The medina is the best place to go for self-catering supplies. The indoor fruit and vegetable market
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP (Ave Hassan II) has a fantastic choice of fresh produce, dried fruits and
nuts. You should be able to find everything else you need (including booze) at the surrounding stalls
or along Rue Souika and near Bab el-Bouiba.
You'll find Western food at the vast Hypermarché Marjane (
7am-7pm) supermarket on the
road to Salé.
Drinking & Nightlife
Many Rabat bars are pretty intimidating for women. The more modern, popular joints are
a safer bet.
Rabat's nightlife is a lot more limited - and subdued - than Casablanca's but there's
still a fairly good range of clubs to choose from. All the large hotels have their own dis-
cos, usually fairly standard fare, and there's a few try-hard theme clubs where you might
need plenty of booze to numb the decor. Expect to pay about Dh150 to Dh200 to get in
and the same for drinks, and dress up or you won't even make it past the door.

( 0537 70 77 55; Ave Mohammed V) Less self-conscious than the chic town bars and an ex-
cellent place to watch Rabat go by, the leafy terrace in front of the Balima is a great place
