AGDAL
Bert’s €€
Offline map Google map ( 0802 00 07 07; cnr Ave de France & Rue Melouya) This very stylish
cafe in smart Agdal dishes up a seasonal menu of vitamin-packed salads and sandwiches, very
special desserts and fresh fruit juices, and they deliver from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday.
L’Entrecôte €€€
Offline map Google map ( 0537 67 11 08; 74 Blvd al-Amir Fal Ould Omar; mains Dh180;
lunch & dinner) The menu and attitude at this upmarket, old-style restaurant in Agdal are very
French but the dark woods and rough plaster are more reminiscent of Bavaria than Bordeaux.
Steak, fish and game specialities dominate the classic French menu, and to further confuse the
ambience there’s jazz or traditional Spanish music at night.
Paul €€
Offline map Google map ( 2 Ave al-Oumam al-Muttahida) This French bakery and patisserie is the
place to hang out in Rabat, serving the best croissants in town for breakfast, good sandwiches,
somewhat tired salads and a light menu throughout the day. Sit in the elegant interior or on the
pleasant, if noisy, streetside terrace.
Galapagos Café €

panelling, contemporary furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s popular with young
professionals for its ice cream, pizzas, panini and people-watching .
SELF-CATERING
The medina is the best place to go for self-catering supplies.
Fruit & Vegetable Market

produce, dried fruits and nuts. You should be able to find everything else you need (including
booze) at the surrounding stalls or along Rue Souika and near Bab el-Bouiba.
Hypermarché Marjane
Offline map( 7am-7pm) You’ll find Western food at this vast place on the road to Salé.
Drinking
Most Rabat bars are pretty intimidating for women. The more modern, popular joints are a
safer bet.
Café Maure
Offline map Google map ( Kasbah des Oudaias) Sit back, relax and just gaze out over the estuary
to Salé from this chilled, open-air cafe spread over several terraces in the Andalusian Gardens.
