  1. Grotto Tavern

    Grotto Tavern, owned by a friendly French-Maltese couple, offers wining and dining on the main square. The menu waves the tricolore with dishes such as frogs’ legs or duck à l’orange, plus fondues and raclettes perfect for sharing. Leave room for crêpes, chocolate fondue or tarte aux pommes (apple tart).

    La Koutoubia

    Old-fashioned Moroccan restaurant with plenty of traditional zallij and colourful painted panels. All the classic Moroccan dishes are on the menu here, including tajines and couscous, but labour-intensive specialities like pastilla ay pigeon or mechoui (roast lamb) need to be ordered in advance. Good wine list.

    Les Casseroles en Folie

    This elegant French restaurant is popular at lunchtime with bureaucrats from the nearby ministries, but more relaxed in the evening. The food is very French with specialities like Salade des Casseroles (a salad with wild mushrooms and duck breast), and steaks with various sauces. Keep some space for the delicious dessert trolley.

    La Veranda

    Run by the same owner as Le Grand Comptoir, this loft-style restaurant, in a modernist villa with a pleasant garden under majestic palm trees, is already proving the place to be at lunchtime. It serves good contemporary French-Mediterranean bistro food from a changing menu written on a blackboard. The staff is young and trendy.

    Restaurant de la Libération

    Cheap, cheerful and marginally more classy than the string of other eateries along this road (it’s got plastic menus and tablecloths), this basic restaurant does a steady line in traditional favourites. Friday is couscous day when giant platters of the stuff are delivered to the eager masses.

    Ty Potes

    A pleasant and welcoming lunch spot and tea house, serving sweet and savoury crepes, healthy salads and sandwiches. It’s popular with well-heeled locals. The atmosphere is more European, with a little garden at the back, and the Sunday brunch is particularly well attended.
