Ok, threshold item, we were tourists visiting lovely Morocco. Salma is very conveniently located in Meknes, but it is totally touristy. Food is nicely prepared and nicely presented, but nothing really distinctive about it. Owner is friendly and affable. Makes for an okay lunch stop, but there is no real reason to go out of your way to dine here.

If you would like wine with quite good Moroccan food try Restaurant Salma. The rooftop has a nice nice view and should you wish some wine there is a section where you can drink and eat. Well worth it.

During our tour, we went for lunch here and got out of the pouring rain. Sampled our first Moroccan mint tea here and it was quite good. Some of us enjoyed the Soupe Marocaine whilst the house specialty is the Chicken/Pigeon Pastilla which is sweet and savoury pie with cinnamon and toasted almonds (I think). Nearly everyone had the chicken... More

we had lunch at Salma restaurant, and indeed the terrasse is very nice. Though, the food is nothing like moroccan food, frozen, tajines are very not cooked properly. It looks like a restaurant for tourists who do not know the real taste of moroccan cuisine....do not go there.

I did not have the bad experience of the two reviewers below. I have worked in restaurants and even the best can have bad days. I had pastilla in other Moroccan cities and I wanted to try it here; Restaurant Salma had the best that I tasted. The olives and breads were also good. The decor was not my style... More

Kitchen staff screamed abuse at each other throughout. The cheese omlette had no cheese and greasy, soggy chips. We could not get salt and pepper brought to the table. The specialty 'B'stilla" (pigeon pie) had obviously been frozen - hot outside cold inside. We sent it back and were given a second exactly the same. We sent back all of... More

We were advised to go there by our driver who took us to Meknes from Fes for the day, He recommended it as I had said I wanted to try pastilla au pigeon and this place had it. We went and took a seat on the terrace which was lovely but had to listen to one of the chefs having... More
