      1963-70
Restaurant el-Bahia
Good Moroccan food such as tajines, kebabs and salads served in a lovely garden. Built into the outside of the medina walls and a good spot for people-watching, this laid-back restaurant has the locals lapping up hearty Moroccan fare. Sit on the pavement terrace, in the shaded courtyard or upstairs in the traditional salon.
Address Boulevard Hassan II Phone

      1971-1980
La Mamma
It looks pretty dark from the outside, but this old favourite serves some of the best pizza and pasta in town. The beamed ceilings and candlelit tables add a touch of 1970s romantic atmosphere, and the wood-fired pizzas and grilled meats will leave you planning a return visit.

      1981-1990
Tajine wa Tanja
Down-to-earth Moroccan dishes are the speciality at this small, friendly restaurant near the train station. Choose from a range of wood-fired grills or tajines prepared to traditional recipes, or make a special outing for the magnificent Friday couscous. It’s a fairly quiet spot, and not so intimidating for women travelling alone.
Address 9 Rue de Baghdad Phone 53 729797

      1991-2000
Le Petit Beur – Dar Tajine
This modest little place is renowned for its excellent Moroccan food, from succulent tajines and heavenly couscous to one of the best pastillas in town. It’s a little sombre at lunchtime but livens up at night when the waiters double as musicians and play oud music to accompany your meal. Book ahead or get there early as it fills up quickly.
Address 8 Rue Damas Phone 53 731322

      2001-2012
Le Bistrot du Pietri
Inside the Hôtel Pietri in Rabat one will find this concept bistrot where music and friendly ambience join forces to bring people together. In the kitchen, chef Damien will prepare bistrot dishes for you to savour in the dining room or at the bar. Whether for a business lunch or a musical soiree, the Bistrot du Pietri is the place to recommend to friends. Live jazz-fusion every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday Menus Access Services and Capacities
