Le Foundouk
(kebabs) served here are
tasty and very affordable. The
atmosphere is terrific, thanks
to its ringside view of the Jemaa
El Fna
(see p65)

Le Tobsil
This stylish restaurant
serves French and Moroccan
cuisine. An old courtyard building
has been given a modern look,
complete with leather seating
and a wonderful chandelier. A
small bar area and a beautiful
roof terrace provide the perfect
spot for an aperitif while waiting
for a table
(see p71)

Dar Moha
Dine at Tobsil for a sump-
tuous experience. Occupying
two levels of an old house
around a central court, it is lit up
by candlelight and has no menu;
waiters deliver a seemingly
endless succession of dishes -
vegetarian meze, pastilla, tajines,
couscous and pastries
(see p71)
.

Jemaa El Fna
Taste Moroccan cuisine as
reinterpreted by Marrakech's
celebrity chef, Moha Fedal.
Lunch and dinner are set menus
but the food is unlike anything
you will eat elsewhere. Gnawa
musicians add to the ambience
and perform by the poolside
during summer
(see p71)

Al Fassia
Each evening, a part of the
main square in the medina is
transformed into a vast open-air
eatery; crowds flock between
the numerous makeshift kitchens
set up to prepare food for the
people assembled. It's possible
to sample most Moroccan
classics, from harrira and
brochettes to couscous and
tajines
(see pp10-11)
.
This completely women-run
Moroccan restaurant is unusual
in that it offers à la carte choices
rather than a set menu. The
restaurant has a charming
garden, but lacks the
panache of its many
competitors though it
compensates with its
terrific food
(see p79)

Chez Chegrouni
Don't go by the
looks of this modest
restaurant (the waiter
writes your order on a
paper napkin). The
