Le Trou Au Mur

Top choice in Kâat Ben Nahid & Bab Debbagh


The menu at this classy yet laid-back contemporary restaurant is on the money with its mix of little-seen Moroccan dishes, fusion food and international crowd pleasers. Stay cool in the mod dining room or head to the rooftop for giant martinis, Berber shepherd's pie, mac and cheese or the house speciality of mechoui (slow-roasted lamb).

The cherchma (spiced pulses with couscous), berkoukesh (couscous in tomato sauce) and mahensha (honey-soaked, almond-stuffed coiled pastry) are a real treat, rarely seen in restaurants.
