Eating
There are many cafes and simple restaurants around Pl Dchira, where Dh30 should get
you a filling meal. More lively food stalls can be found at the Souq Djemal. Otherwise,
wander down Blvd de Mekka or head to a hotel restaurant.
Le Poissonier
SEAFOOD
€
( 0528 99 32 62; 183 Blvd de Mekka; mains from Dh50; lunch & dinner)
One of the city's best
restaurants, serving catches from the Atlantic. There are worse ways to spend your time in
Laâyoune than over a fish soup or lobster here.
Pizzeria la Madone
ITALIAN
€
( 0528 99 32 52; 141 Ave Chahid Bouchraya; pizzas Dh45-70; lunch & dinner)
A cosy place to
eat, although it also does a brisk takeaway trade, la Madone specialises in pasta dishes and
thin-crust pizzas.
Information
The city's showpiece is the vast Pl du Méchouar, but there is no obvious centre. The post
office, banks and most hotels are along Ave Hassan II and Blvd de Mekka. There are sev-
eral banks with ATMs and exchange facilities near the intersection of Ave Hassan II and
Blvd Mohammed V, and internet cafes are on Blvd de Mekka. Bored youths hang about at
Pl du Méchouar at night.
