The restaurant is housed in a nice outdoor courtyard. The menu is very small and the food was just ok. I've had worse, but I've also had much, much better. We ordered the Moroccan salad and instead of getting the selection of cooked salads we had had in numerous places elsewhere, they served just one, which included raw tomato. We... More

This restaurant proved to be an amazing respite of calm, with the sound of flowing water and birds in the middle of casablanca's horrendous traffic. we arrived there after a couple of hours in the traffic and the place was like an oasis. The hospitality was nice and the food was good. We ordered 2 mixed appetizers, 2 mains and... More

Enjoy a peaceful lunch here while in Morocco, if not for the food, at least for the fountains, tiles, and great wait staff.

The garden of this restaurant is beautiful, but the waiters are so bad. I had a tajine which was good. my husband asked for a t-bone steak saignant. that came really well done, very dry and we wondered if it was beef. we sent it back, and after 20 minutes waiting the steak came completely raw. not any excuse and...

The food is okay and the place is great to chill. Disappointed not to have tasted the couscous, but enjoyed the tajine. The service was good and the cocktails really good. However, I expected to be impressed because of the place's reputation and ended up just having a good time.

We found this place accidently, while walking through Casablanca. It is a little piece of a heaven. The atmosphere was great, the decor is everything I dreamed that magical Morocco would be, and the food was devine! We came back on our last night for a special dinner and both service and food were fantastic! Wouldn't miss it!

Upon arrival for lunch, we entered an amazing, peaceful garden. A welcome oasis from the hustle and bustle of Casa. The staff is friendly and patient. The food was delicious - moroccan bread, olives and tomato dips to start with. The vegetarian mezze is recommended and so are the fish and seafood dishes (fish tagine was delicious and so was...

I went there twice. Once to have dinner with friends, typical Morrocan menus with beautiful setting. And then again for an afternnon snack (mint tea with creps / churros). Nice to relax after walking thru the city.

We stumbled onto this place by chance- what a gem! Some of the best food we had in Morocco. Menu has a seafood slant but plenty else on offer. The entree seafood gratin was delicious, and given you receive free bread and olives, was more than enough for me. We went back for dinner, and shared a lamb tagine- divine.... More
