Even if they made me hesitant to try their food, I had no other choice and the result came as a sweet surprise. I can only believe that they've changed their quality standards. Chicken tajine, a classic, was above average, for a very reasonable price (140 dirhams, a not-unusual amount when eating in a hotel) and quantity, with a sizeable piece of chicken. Also going against the mood, the staff is actually very friendly and attentive, and the service well provided (btw, it also includes a free appetizer).

The super attentive waiters helped explain what the unknown foods were, the typical way of enjoying them (ex, with honey and butter) and heated up baked goods before delivering them to our table. Beverages also included fresh apple. Orange, beet, carrot and one other in carafes one could mix to their taste. And, what a delightful visual treat to see the Morrocan tea poured into beautiful etched glasses before placed at our table.

It was a more delicious meal than we expected. In particular, Moroccan lamb was very delicious. Mint tea is also thick and I like it. read more It was a more delicious meal than we expected. In particular, Moroccan lamb was very delicious. Mint tea is also thick and I like it.

Expensive but it's an hotel. The breakfast was ok, with a lot of food to choose, specially pastry. In a 5 minute walk there's a caffe that serves sandwiches, pizza and crepes. A supermarket is right near to the caffe.

Very expensive restaurant. I had a spaghetti carbonara and I think they put baloney from the breakfast in it. The food was cold.

The waiters didn't speak proper French and it was hard to communicate.
