I went for a snack with a Moroccan friend today. It's an impressively swish set of premises in a somewhat unprepossessing street. Scrupulously clean and just opened, it was worth having our meal here.I just had a salad as I had already taken something out of the freezer at home. My friend had the veal émincé. I took photos of the meals. As always, we shared the food between us, although I didn't take too much of his so as not to spoil my appetite. It was all professionally done, the food looked good and tasted good.This is never going to be a hit with tourists as it is far from the beach and any hotels. But for locals and expat residents, it is a definite choice for a change now and again.The meals, with two soft drinks, came to 95 dirhams which was very reasonable.

Le café restaurant qui manquait sur El Jadida. Décor luxueux, confortable, très propre, personnel pro et sympathique, une cuisine internationale de qualité, des petits déjeuner à tomber par terre... que demander de plus ?

Nice atmosphere inside. Fast service. Big burger actually looked like the real deal! Pizza was standard Moroccan pizza, but was just so nice to find this in our otherwise dirty neighbourhood! A very nice treat. Also we got complimentary soup while we waited for our order to go.

I had wanted to come here for some time, but it's so far away from town that I had to wait for my friend with a motorbike to take me. In the teeth of a bitingly cold wind, we did the long trip down from El Jadida on a rather poor road before turning off to the main road the hotel and restaurant are situated in. We met the manager by chance at the gate of the property and he quickly said that my friend should put his bike inside the walls where it would be watched over. He then showed us around the whole place. The dining facilities are certainly vast and impressive and are located in more than one area and on more than one level. There's a Moroccan-type restaurant area under a permanent tented structure as well as the main building which has a large covered patio, an inside restaurant, a cafe space and an upstairs roof terrace with a fabulous view. Indeed, the view from where we ate, the patio, was impressive enough!We were brought some nibbles and shown the menu. This is my only criticism. For such a lavish place, the menu seems to be derived from a snack restaurant menu - emince de poulet/viande, pizzas, fried fish platter, grilled fish, quarter rotisserie chickens and so on but at a higher price than in town in the snack places. We had been told by the manager that the establishment was the equivalent of a four star accommodation, so I would have expected something more of a stab at a fine dining menu. I saw some leaflets for events that they held, however and it looks as if the food might be better at these. I ordered an entrecote and I knew that my friend would order the fried fish platter. We shared a mixed salad to start. The salad was fine, nothing to rave about. The fried fish was probably as good or better than could be had in a fish snack because it incorporated a couple of types of fish that would not be served there as well as the normal sole, prawns, calamari and whiting. My entrecote dish was good and there was the addition of some gratin potatoes with it as well as some nicely done vegetables. That was a welcome change from chips! The surroundings really are to die for and I can forgive them the slight disappointment about the menu. Nonetheless, the food was well cooked and presented. During the look round the premises, the manager said that they have arrangements with some of the local farms to ensure that their food is organic and that they don't get supplies from town at all. That's a praiseworthy initiative and an incentive for the reams of healthy eaters who visit Morocco nowadays. We took a coffee on the roof terrace. There is traffic noise to a certain degree from the road, but it is truly peaceful and the view even over the road is so beautiful. The grounds are laid out and maintained lovingly too.There is no alcohol licence and there will never be one as the premises have a mosque right inside the grounds. Even bringing one's own bottle to the restaurant would not be possible.We would come back to eat and also perhaps to make a day of it in the grounds with a group of friends when the nicer and warmer weather comes. We enjoyed our food here

I'd been past here several times and saw loads of people sitting inside and out. I wondered what on earth was going on as it is normally completely empty.I stopped by today and had a chat with the owner and a quick coffee. The coffee was relevant! They have completely changed their ideas. Having a posh restaurant in a street full of snack-type places simply hadn't worked, so they thought again. What they have come up with is a cafe in the same lovely, well-furnished surroundings with TV screens to show football matches and special programmes. They have also removed the fussy foliage from the front patio which was appropriate for a restaurant but would have been a no-no for a cafe. It's all looking much smarter and is attracting clientele. I'm glad for them as this place has had a lot of money invested in it. It's a nice place now for a coffee and croissants or a breakfast. My coffee was fine and I do recommend it rather than any of the other cafes on the same street. There's a good welcome and the staff are friendly and efficient. I hadn't been back for a meal, but I think I'll be back for coffee.

Well, I went here with a couple of friends 2 nights ago. I had chicken kebabs as did one of my friends and the other had a the spaghetti dish with a white sauce and salmon.Again, the portions were ginormous! 6 skewers of generously proportioned pieces of chicken, chips and a nice Moroccan side salad (tomatoes, onions and olives). And perfectly cooked to boot.The place was virtually full again - inside there were no seats. We ate on the patio as smoking is forbidden inside. This has recently been renewed with a permanent roof structure and plastic made-to-measure blinds around the outside as protection from the weather in winter and will provide shade against the sun in summer. In fact, that night was mild and the blinds had been rolled up. We'll certainly go again.

While my stay at Morocco I have been often visited Luigi as recommended by my close friend Hossam, we always loved the Tagliatelle in white sauce that was one of our frequent delicacies. I also loved the mushroom sauce served by beef steak its amazing. Loved the hospitality and the ambeince as well. Recommended to visit and taste the mouth watering Tagliatelle in white sauce.
