Eating

There aren’t really any restaurants in the medina, just snack stalls selling kebabs and the like,
although there is plenty of fresh produce in the souqs. In the ville nouvelle, the street souq just
off Place de l’Indépendance also has produce and lots of tasty snack stands that really come to
life in the evening. Ave Mohammed V is well supplied for grocery stores. If you’re waiting for
onward transport and are in need of sustenance, there’s a whole row of fast-food places where
the buses stop on the Fez– Oujda road (Blvd Bir Anzarane).

Les Deux Rives €

Offline map Google  map (    0535   67  12  27; 20  Ave d’Oujda;    mains   Dh30-60)    This    fresh   and cosy

little restaurant is a good option. The menu is a mix of Moroccan and continental – some
tajines, couscous and a good pastilla (pie), with a smattering of pizzas and grilled meat thrown
in.

Pizzeria du Jardin €

Offline map Google  map (   44  Rue Sultan  Abou    el-Hassan;  mains   Dh35-40)    This    is  a   friendly    place

serving a few tajines, pizzas and fast-food options, with some huge salads, all overlooked by
glossy photos of Bogart and Garbo. It’s busy in the evenings but dead in the afternoon.

Hôtel Dauphiné €€

Offline map Google  map (    0535   67  35  67; Place   de  l’Indépendance; meals   Dh80)   On  the

ground floor of the hotel, the Dauphiné serves up the usual range of Moroccan standards (with
some good fish), plus a handful of continental dishes thrown in. It’s pretty tasty and efficiently
served, but the big dining room could use a little atmosphere.

Mou Mou €

Offline map Google  map (   Ave Moulay  Youssef;    pizzas  from    Dh30,   shwarma from    Dh30)   If  you’ve

been lulled into thinking that Taza is a sleepy place, hit this packed-out corner place, with happy
customers spilling out of the door. Tasty fast-food is the order of the day here: great shwarma,
paninis, pizzas and juices.

Café Amsterdam €

Offline map Google  map (   Ave Moulay  Youssef;    pastries    from    Dh8)    This    is  a   great   breakfast   stop

with its own patisserie so you’re never short of sticky pastry options. Sadly there’s no outside
seating, but the interior is crisply decorated.

Café la Joconda €

Offline map Google map ( Ave d’Oujda) Another good modern cafe with plenty of pavement
seating, and one that’s not threatened by the concept of female customers.
