Reviews
A very pretty ambiance with good food. The tagine was very nice and authentic. The staff was lovely
Beautiful garden restaurant. Food is good, reasonably priced and staff is kind. Definitely recommend to enjoy a cozy afternoon snack or lunch.
This restaurant is an oasis of tranquility at the end of an alleyway off a busy and bustling, narrow street. Set mainly outdoors in a spacious square and with high-end clothes and craft shops as neighbours, this restaurant is something of a haven. I was seated immediately, the food was excellent and really good value. I was served very quickly by friendly and attentive wait staff, and even the cleaning and gardening staff greeted me as they were passing my table. So, in terms of food quality and value, fast service, wonderfully attentive staff and a great setting that offers an escape from the hullabaloo of the souk, I am absolutely delighted to recommend this gem of a restaurant and would be more than happy to host guests there.
Very good service. The person who was serving us was a very gentle and generous young man. Very good energy. We had breakfast there. The atmosphere is awesome. Clean and nice garden. better then that garden secret which you pay 100 dirham to get and get scammed in cafe
Great, green place with good variety, from Burgers and French tacos to Tajines, Pastillas and Couscous. Clean place with friendly staff, reasonable prices. There are several craft shops along the courtyard where you can watch bags, clothes etc. be made while waiting on your order
