Riad Sheherazade
A pretty conservatory by the pool serves as a dining room, or you can dine in the large courtyard or Moroccan salon. A speciality of the house is couscous with quails and chicken, studded with fruit. Wine is available. If the owner's in town, he might serenade you with his oud .

Ryad Mabrouka
Dine in the leafy garden of this delightful riad guesthouse in the warmer months, or in winter in the 1st-floor dining room overlooking the medina. Traditional fare is served in a three-course set menu, and wine is available. It's necessary to book 24 hours in advance.

Sandwiches Big Mac
It's certainly fast food, but there are no Big Macs here! Choose from the display cabinet and watch your sandwich filling being cooked on the griddle. Stuffed baguettes or bread rounds come with chips. There are some chairs and tables, too, for tea or coffee (both around DH4 ).

Snail Stand
Bahou Hasnaoui serves a good bowl of snails. Ease out the little critters from their shells with the safety pin provided. The broth is spicy and aromatic and is said to keep colds away. Note that opening hours can vary.
-
Thami's
This pavement restaurant has just two tables: one for 12 people to share, and one for just two or three. Thami produces an excellent kefta tajine with egg, vegetable plate of fuul (broad beans), lentils, aubergines and peppers, couscous and makoda (potato fritters) with harissa (hot sauce made with red chillies and red peppers) dip. Drinks include tea, coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice.
-
Vesuvio
If you're at the stage of screaming when presented with yet another tajine, this place may well be for you. Stock-standard Italian dishes feature - the thin-crust pizzas and stodgy pasta are acceptable, but only just. No alcohol.
-
Zen Garden Restaurant Lounge
It's chic, it's popular and its prices don't reach into the stratosphere. Pasta or pizza and a bottle of the local vin rouge are your best bet here - complicated dishes can be less satisfying. The location is a five-minute drive from the centre of town and taxis can be hard to come by, so book a pick-up in advance.
