Le Tanjia

excellent tanjia and mechoui (l,d; $$$)

Tanjia

Le Tanjia is quite an elegant Moroccan restaurant on three storeys.

Le Tanjia offers reliably good Moroccan food in elegant surroundings. There are three floors: a ground floor with a bar (good for a pre-dinner aperitif), and dining around a little marble fountain; a middle storey, with a balcony overlooking the floor below; and a roof terrace, which is sheltered, making it cooler by day and warmer in winter (when they sometimes even have a fire).

There's a floorshow with belly dancers around the fountain every evening around 9pm.

Tanjia

You can certainly get a tajine here, including chicken with honey and almonds, or lamb with prunes and sesame, but the house specialities are, as its name suggests, tanjia (jugged beef), and, actually even more so, mechoui (slow-roast lamb). Both are available more cheaply in Mechoui Alley, but here they offer a more refined version of each, and certainly more comfortable and refined surroundings to eat them in. The tanjia (170dh) is as tender as you can imagine, but the mechoui (420dh for two) is excellent and well worth trying. They also offer a tasting menu (590dh for two).
