It has as many slow-cooked hotpots or char-grilled meat and vegetables as sophisticated tarts. All those dishes work together happily to produce a most appetising menu.<\/p>\n<p>There is something in Moroccan cuisine which answers the essential question : what is that taste? First of all, it\u2019s visual (you look at the dish); then the aroma (you smell it) then the feel (you test it with a fork, you turn it over in your plate). Then at last, you taste it. You can pick out crispness in the tender parts, bitterness in the sweet, liquorice in the savoury . . . playing with colours, flavours, mixing the textures \u2013 Moroccan cooking, above all, is an invitation to all the senses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1671014166266{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; zero_padding_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; zero_margin_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;]<h4 class=\"ozy-divider-cap-left wpb_content_element \"  style=\"color:#2f2b2c\" >A culinary escape<\/h4><div class=\"ozy-content-divider sh4 \" style=\"border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:2px;border-top-color:#2f2b2c!important;width:60px;max-width:60px;left:0;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Our Chef will prepare the best local and Moroccan specialities for you:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Couscous (best couscous in Fez)<\/li>\n<li>Tajine (traditional casserole)<\/li>\n<li>Fish<\/li>\n<li>Harira (traditional chick-pea soup)<\/li>\n<li>Pastilla (a filo pigeon or chicken pasty)<\/li>\n<li>\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>all cooked in the true tradition of the East.
