Our waiter confirmed that he understood what vegan meant, and pointed out our options. We chose a beautiful and very filling Veggie Couscous and a delicately and wonderfully spiced vegetable Tajine. Along with those we had two freshly made juices (orange, carrot, cinnamon beet, apple, carrot, ginger. We sat back on our cushions and enjoyed our very lovely and delicious meals.
