Moderate Dining
Al Fassia is a popular, family-run restaurant in Marrakesh. It is managed and staffed by all women and they serve "best à la carte Morrocan food in the city." Some dishes, such as the lamb-shoulder and steamed vermicelli take about a day to slow-cook, so be sure to call ahead in advance for those orders. -
Affordable Dining
If you want to step away from the normal Moroccan cuisine, try Cantazaro's. They serve an Italian menu at "fabulous values." Meals include pizzas and basic Italian dishes cooked on a wood-burning oven. Desert is a must with their "obligatory tiramisu" and apple crumble. -
