In-Depth Information
(23 Ave Mohammed V; tajines Dh25, Fri couscous Dh35; noon-10pm)
This canteen-style place -
the essence of cheap and cheerful - is hugely popular. While you can get tajines and the
like, do as everyone else does and fill up on a bowl of
harira,
a plate of
makoda
(potato
fritters) with bread and hard-boiled eggs - and get change from Dh15. We defy you to eat
better for cheaper.
Restaurant Gambrinus
MOROCCAN
€
( 0535 52 02 58; Zankat Omar ibn Ass; mains around Dh60, set menu Dh77; noon-3pm & 7-10pm)
A good place for Moroccan food in colourful surroundings in the ville nouvelle, which is
something of a surprise when you discover that the original Gambrinus was a Czech im-
migrant in 1914. It's perennially popular with locals, who come for the good range of
tajines.
Restaurant Pizza Roma
(Rue Accra; mains from Dh20; noon-10pm)
Although the name suggests that pizzas are the
speciality here, you could do far worse than load up on a filling plate of rotisserie chicken
with rice and chips. An unassuming place, it's popular with female diners.
MOROCCAN

Le Pub
FUSION
€€
( 0535 52 42 47; 20 Blvd Allal ben Abdallah; mains Dh90-150; 11am-midnight)
If you don't
mind stepping back into the '80s with disco music and coloured lights in the cavelike in-
terior, Le Pub is a welcome change. The menu is split in two - half offering continental
dishes, the other a Moroccan take on Asian food. We preferred the Asian dishes, but there
are some good steaks too. As befits the name, alcohol is served.
Central Market
SELF-CATERING
(Ave Hassan II; 7am-noon)
A good place to shop in the ville nouvelle, with a variety of
fresh-food stalls, alcohol shops and various imported foodstuffs.
