‘Famille restaurant’ says it all here – a small medina place run with much hearty cheer. Everything is very traditional, but they’re used to seeing tourists too, keeping dishes turned over quickly and inviting diners into the kitchen to taste the day's selections before ordering (there's no written menu). Dishes come with bread and salad.
At last pass, the restaurant was closed due to illness in the family.
