hard-boiled eggs – and walk out with change from Dh15. We defy you to eat better for

Restaurant Gambrinus €

Dh70) A good place for Moroccan food in colourful surroundings in the ville nouvelle, which feels
like something of a surprise when you discover that the original Gambrinus was a Czech
immigrant in 1914. It’s perennially popular with locals, who come for the good range of tajines.
Le Dauphin €€

Dh150) It might have an uninspiring exterior, but the French dining room and lovely garden give
this restaurant one of the nicest dining settings in town. The menu is continental, with some
good meat and fish dishes. Alcohol is served.
Le Pub €€
Offline map Google map ( 0535 52 42 47; 20 Blvd Allal ben Abdallah; mains Dh75-150;
11am-midnight) The dark mirrored windows and bouncers on the door make you wonder what
you’re letting yourself in for, but Le Pub is a welcome change if you’re feeling tajine fatigue. The
menu is split in two – half offering continental dishes, the other branching into a Moroccan take
on Chinese and Thai dishes. We preferred the oriental dishes over the pasta, but there are
some good steaks too. As befits the name, alcohol is served.
Palais de Poulet €
Offline map Google map ( Rue Tetouan; mains from Dh25, salads Dh15) Looking down from the
Hôtel Rif towards Ave Hassan II, this is one of several good and cheap rotisserie places where
you can fill up quickly on chicken, chips, bread and salad. Although you order from the table,
pay at the counter inside.
Restaurant Pizza Roma €
Offline map Google map ( Rue Accra; mains from Dh20) Although the name suggests that pizzas
are the speciality here, you could do far worse than load up on a filling plate of rotisserie
chicken with rice and chips. An unassuming place, it’s popular with female diners.
Pizzeria le Four €
Offline map Google map ( 0535 52 08 57; 1 Rue Atlas; pizzas Dh40-60, mains Dh65-85) This is
as good a place as any in the ville nouvelle to load up on pizza, and the dark-wood and brick
surroundings take you halfway out of Morocco towards Italy. Alcohol is served, so late at night
you sometimes find local men getting sloshed among the clientele. Watch out for the steep
service tax added to bills.
