Kâat Ben Nahid & Bab Debbagh
If you want to eat couscous prepared by a proper Marrakshi mama, then Naima is the place to be. Squeeze into the tiny dining room, let the chef show you her daily feast – either tajine or couscous (there's no menu, and little English is spoken) – and settle back with the local radio and a mint tea as the women get cooking.
Bring your appetite – this is family-style Moroccan food, and the portions are huge.
