Kasbah
Take your tastebuds on a magic carpet ride at this exotic salon where owner Driss welcomes each guest with a big smile. Eating here is a sensory immersion that starts with rinsing your hands in rosewater before digging into such tasty treats as flaky b'stilla (chicken-stuffed filo) or tangy tagine (stew). The Moroccan wine is excellent too.

Restaurante Arrayanes
The best Moroccan food in a city that is well known for its Moorish throwbacks? Recline on lavish patterned seating, try the rich, fruity tagine casseroles and make your decision. Note that Restaurante Arrayanes does not serve alcohol.

El Bahia
Dark and sultry, Ireland’s only Moroccan restaurant looks a little like how we imagine a desert harem might be. Or maybe we just got carried away with the Moroccan sounds and smells. There are some rather fetching geometric designs on the ceilings and walls, and the gimme-gimme food includes the likes of tasty tajines (stews), couscous and bastile (pastry stuffed with chicken), while the sweet-and-spicy Moroccan coffee is an unusual treat.

La Rosa del Desierto
The arched doorway gives a clue as to the North African flavour of this long-standing favourite for couscous. It offers dozens of varieties of the stuff, from vegetarian to 'imperial' (with merguez, North African sausage, and a skewer of kefta, lightly spiced minced meat), along with faves like tajine (a kind of casserole). Take your place amid piles of cushions and finish with a refreshing mint tea.

Le Riad
At the end of an alley in the Carré d’Or nightlife district, Le Riad imports Moroccan hospitality and authentic cooking, with classics such as tagine (stews cooked in conical-covered earthenware), méchoui (spit-roasted lamb) and a real pastilla (pigeon pie) – rare even in Morocco. On weekend nights a belly dancer sets a party mood. Excellent service.

Marrakech
This great little restaurant is the nearest you'll get to North Africa in Wiltshire, serving tangy tagines and bona fide Moroccan couscous in a terracotta-coloured dining room full of earthenware pots and tiled tables. There's even a small souk where you can buy Moroccan handicrafts, and with luck you might even get a spot of Middle Eastern dancing thrown in for free.

404
As comfortable a Maghreb (North African) caravanserai as you’ll find in Paris, the 404 has not only excellent couscous and tajines but also superb grills (€13 to €24) and fish pastilla (€18). The brunch berbère (Berber brunch; €21) is available at the weekend. You’ll just love the One Thousand and One Nights décor with antiques and curios.

Mansouria
This is an especially attractive Moroccan restaurant that serves excellent milk-fed steamed lamb, if not the best kascsou (couscous) and touagin (tajine) in town. Someone in your group should definitely order the mourouzia (€19), lamb simmered in a complex combination of some 27 spices and served with a sauce of honey, raisins and almonds.

Al-beb
Take a virtual trip to north Africa courtesy of this brightly tiled Moroccan eatery crammed with woven fabrics and bright ceramics. It dishes up first-rate meze, tagine and couscous. Don't be surprised if a bit of belly dancing kicks-off too. If it's full, try the excellent Indian restaurant, Maha Bharat, at No 52, which is also open for dinner.

Kasbah
Next door to Bonsoir Clara, this dark and intimate Moroccan restaurant, with its telltale oranges in the window, is a feast for the senses. The friendly and flamboyant owner does couscous, lamb brochettes and tajines (spicy meat-based stews), all at excellent prices. Reservations for Friday and Saturday nights are necessary.

Founti Agadir
The décor is as richly coloured as the delicious couscous (€11.50 to €16), tajines (€13.50 to €15) and pastillas (around €8) cooked up in this busy Moroccan kitchen. The best on the Left Bank, some say. Dinner menus are for parties of 10 or more; otherwise, it’s simply à la carte.

Pigadi tou Tourkou
Features from this former hammam, including the well it's named after (Well of the Turk), are incorporated into the cosy design of this popular restaurant, which has dishes inspired by Crete, Morocco and the Middle East. The service can, however, be indifferent and prices have crept up.

El Yamal
This restaurant serves tasty Moroccan food in traditional tagines (earthenware dishes with pointed lids). Choose from fish, chicken or couscous with vegetables and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. Finish with a mint tea with a drop of orange flower essence (azahar).

Al-Mounia
One of the longest-standing Moroccan restaurants promises the best couscous in town (it bears no relation to the couscous we all buy in a packet), subtly spiced lamb tagines (stews cooked in ceramic pots) and breathtaking hand-crafted traditional décor.

Dar El Yacout
Take a North African style aperitivo at Yacout and you’re on the slippery slope to a banquet dinner and a 1am spot of belly-dancing. This large space is lavishly decorated, mosaic-ed to the max and guarantees a good time.

Marrakesh
This showcases three things Ukrainians apparently love – ‘1001 Nights’ Arabian design, couscous and hookah pipes. The food is good but perhaps too bland for true connoisseurs of Moroccan cuisine.

Ryad
Bruges' dining scene has been boosted by the influx of many new cuisines in recent times. This intimate Moroccan haunt is one of note. Couscous and tagines are its forte, and the décor's deliciously dark.

Mamouche
Mamouche gets serious acclaim for sexy, modern Moroccan amid minimalism. Exposed flooring, mottled walls and slat-beam ceilings complement the changing selection of couscous, lamb and fish dishes.

Salama
The smell of cooking wafting down the alley outside Salama is enough to lure you into this hip Moroccan den where St-Tropez's trendiest hang out over cosy exotic furnishings and fresh mint tea.
