"Delicious food and excellent service. I ordered the octopus and my friend had the chicken pastilla; both were fantastic. The olive tapenades and bread were also incredibly good. It's a shame we didn't have room for dessert!"

"It was a delicious meal. The service was very friendly, delicate, and attentive. And the place has a special charm. Every bite was a unique experience, worth repeating. The cuisine blends the intense flavors of Morocco with a very distinct touch of Mediterranean cooking. One of the best cheesecakes in the world, without a doubt."

"It's worth the walk from the Medina to discover this gem in Asilah. They offer a creative and well-executed fusion that respects traditional flavors: the kefta briouats are excellent and the chicken pastilla is the juiciest we've ever tried. The crepe dessert with argan cream and bitter orange sauce is delicious. All this in a relaxed atmosphere with extremely hospitable service. Definitely coming back!"
