A hotel res-
taurant with a 1920s dining room and log fire, and our favourite eating place in Azrou.

This is an always-busy cafe with upstairs
seating, good sandwich and tajine options, plus fruit juices and the occasional ice cream
for the hot weather.
Hôtel le Panorama
( 0535 56 20 10; Hay Ajelabe; set menu Dh130; 7.30-10pm)
Another hotel restaurant, the
Hôtel le Panorama is better in the evenings, when you can also wash down your meal with
a glass of wine or beer. Some decent tajines, and a handful of continental dishes in an old-
fashioned dining room. The simple menu has fewer options during the week.
