Marrakech recs?

We don’t have an Africa board do we @robert? Anyway, anybody have Marrakech recs? I have a friend going there and he specifically asked: can you ask your “food board" where to eat?

Dusk at Djemma el-Fnaa is a wonderful spectacle, and offers street food galore to try.

Moroccan cuisine: Prepare to eat lots of couscous (often in tagine) and bestilla, on heavy rotation. Bint ar-rimad (spelling?) is a local specialty. End the meal with a high pour of hot mint tea.

Now we have an Africa board.

Judging by my cookbooks, there’s way more to Moroccan cuisine(s) than the usual tourist dishes, but I wouldn’t know where to start looking for the places that serve them.

  • Dar Yacout for dinner in the Medina
  • Al Fassia is a great restaurant for dinner
  • Le Fondouk for dinner
  • le jardin for lunch in the Medina
  • La Mamounia for drinks and the croque monsieur
