Très bel acceuil, ambiance chaleureuse, décor réussi, formidable repas à partager. Bonne nourriture, qui aurait pu être un peu plus travaillée au niveau des saveurs.
Excellent couscous, very different from the usual Moroccan sytle. The menu is limited but everyone was very happy with the three different types of couscous & the hummus. The meat one had a complex sweetish sauce, almost like a Mexican mole. I would suggest telling customers what the prizes are beforehand; it would help. It was scorchingly hot & we were offered a very comfortable table & chairs outiside (not the picnic benches on the terrace), which was perfect.
