Best Middle Eastern food near Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region, Morocco
Reviews on Middle Eastern food in Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region, Morocco. Overlooked by many tourists, Meknes is a bustling modern city of nearly a million in northern Morocco, about 80 miles inland from the capital of Rabat. Local hero Moulay Ismail made Meknes Morocco's hub at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, and his mausoleum is one of the city's main attractions. The Museum of Moroccan Art (housing fascinating jewels and artifacts) and Bab Mansour (the largest and most stunning of the city's gates) are other Meknes sights not to be missed.

Situé au coeur de l'impressionnante cité de hautes murailles percées de portes monumentales qui montre aujourd'hui l'alliance harmonieuse styles islamiques

A superior restaurant just off the Place El Hedim and much better quality food than the restaurant overlooking the Place (although to be fair, that one has good views). Good service and a rare opportunity to have wine with the meal, set in a sumptuous riad.

Led to this place by despair and by a probably interested local (it was a Sunday night and the town appeared deserted), they opened for us (it's a private apartment) we decided to sit down and wait. And wait we did. More than an hour to be served overpriced, overspiced food (you know the feeling of food going up and down?), passed off as lamb and beef though it was more likely to be chicken, and not even what we had asked for (we had ordered beef with potatoes and got some meat with fried eggs instead, and there was just us in there). By the way, if you don't speak French, you won't even understand what's on the menu (in French only).Avoid, and try Aisha instead.

You don't see the restaurant at first, but rather a display case of the meats and vegetables used in preparing the dishes. It sits sideways to the street. Once you walk past, the space opens up to a large room with fabric-covered walls, several tables and a large cabinet containing cookware and different dishes. An art collection of sorts.Abdul Fattah is the host. I stopped in one evening just for mint tea, and found him so engaging and excited about his restaurant that I had to give it a try. I'm glad I did.Between Englsih, Arabic and French, I managed to communicate that I was leaving the meal up to him. He only asked what kind of protein I preferred; I chose chicken. It was a chilly evening, so he started me off with harira, a Moroccan soup. And of course the obiquitous bread. Next, a Moroccan salad accompanied by small plates: an eggplant dish, a bean dish, one of peppers and one that was tomato-based.My chicken came in a beautiful tagine. It was, Abdul Fattah explained, a Berber dish. Delicious. The aroma when I opened it! A largish, juicy thigh. Just a hint of Moroccan lemon in there somewhere. The meal was topped off with - no surprise - mint tea. And a half an hour or so of enjoying the host's company and sharing laughter.
