( 0535 53 57 20; Derb Sekkaya, Tiberbarine; mains from Dh75, 3-course set menu Dh110;
noon-3pm & 7-10pm)
Also going under the name Sweet Sultana, this is a small but charming
restaurant located in a converted medina house. The tent canopy over the courtyard gives
an intimate, even romantic, atmosphere, set off by walls deocrated with henna designs and
bright fabrics. The spread of cooked Moroccan salads is a highlight.
Covered Market
(Pl el-Hedim; 7.30am-9pm)
This is
the
place in Meknès to get fresh produce, and is virtu-
ally a tourist attraction in itself, with its beautifully arranged pyramids of sugary sweet
delicacies, dates and nuts, olives and preserved lemons in glistening piles. There's good-
quality fruit and veg here, as well as meat - the faint-hearted may choose to avoid the
automated chicken-plucking machines at the rear of the hall.

and eggs. For later in the day, there's a range of pizzas, pastas and crêpes both sweet and
savoury.

Looking down from the Hôtel Rif
towards Ave Hassan II, this is one of several good and cheap rotisserie places where you
