holiday cottage, while the red lighting, background jazz and exotic mementoes lend it an
intimate, sultry allure. The Moroccan-French cuisine gets high marks from locals, who have
been coming here for almost 50 years.

Restaurant el-Korsan €€€

Offline map Google map ( 0539 93 58 85; El-Minzah Hotel, 85 Rue de la Liberté; mains around
Dh160; lunch & dinner) One of Tangier’s top restaurants, this chic and classy place inside
the El-Minzah offers a smaller, more intimate version of the palace restaurant theme but without
the bus tours. Well-presented Moroccan classics are served to soft live music, and often
traditional dancing. Reservations are necessary, including one day prior notice for lunch. Dress
well.

from Dh150; lunch & dinner) An international menu, long on Italian and with a slant towards
fish, tables with bright cloths facing the street, Moroccan background music and a mix of
clientele – expats, tourists, local businesspeople – make this a lively spot with a great cultural-
crossroads feel.
