  • Restaurant Name: At the Jemaa-el-fna


    Ok , Marrakesh is infected by tourists.
    But eating at the Jemaa-el-fna square is a must
    in the evening. An experience. It turns in into
    this giant open air restaurant. Locals and
    tourists eat side by side.

    You can tell which one is the tourist stall , and
    which one is were the locals eat. The locals like
    eating for instance sheep heads. Something
    most tourists find not so appealing.

    We just went for our intuition....
    I love Moroccan cuisine and I had a salad
    some grilled sausages , a pastilla with chicken ,
    coca-cola....bread....all for about 5 euro.
    It tasted really good..


    Ignore the pushy vendors and take your time
    to look around. Shake hands , smile. :-)
    Think about it. The bill will always be a little
    more then you had in mind. They also charge
    you some taxes , the olives , the extra bread...etc etc.
    Still good value for money.

  • Restaurant Name: Outside in a fantastic garden.


    Our last evening , we had to get up very early
    and we wanted it to be special. We chose this
    restaurant in Guéliz. It is a bbq restaurant
    with a wunderful garden. We were a bit too early.
    It opens at 6 but they only get started half an hour
    later. There are tables round a central fountain ,
    palmtrees with lights in it...a wall with water.
    It all get quit cozy when it gets dark. This is also
    the place that more wealthy moroccan prefer.


    Frederik went straight for the 'grillades Royale'
    (15euro) and I took the tapas surprise (15 euro).
    Those tapas had little to do with what is served
    in Spain. It were all sorts of little snacks , like shrimps ,
    little sausages ....tapas with a very local touch.
    BUT one of the little cups had creme caramel
    in it. I was highly amused. :-)
    A large bottle of mineral water , sidi ali (1,2 euro)
    and two divine fresh squeezed orange juices
    (3 euro) made it complete.

    DESSERT? of course.
    The most important thing. I had fresh strawberries
    (not as sweet as in Belgium) and the other
    side came the 'asiette Gourmande'. (5euro)
    A fantastic platter of tartes and sweets and even
    chocolate cake.

    Don't forget the 10% taxes in the end.

    We had a fantastic evening.
