Bars and Restaurants
Dining in the riad is wonderful..there is a daily changing menu, inspired by the morning's produce in the souk..the menu offered is Morocco meets the Med,with a hint of Australian panache, guests are invited to accompany the chef into the souk to help create that evening's menu.
Other Facilities
There are two salons,one offering an open fire and the delight of a little plunge pool creeping in between the marble pillars, the other is richly canopied and intimate.. both open onto the beautiful courtyard.
The terrace is a wonderful place to start the day with breakfast under the berber tent..it is also
a great place to loll in the sun and to cool of under the generous outdoor shower
