This airy spot is the work of Kamal Laftimi, who launched the popular Nomad restaurant in the medina in 2014. It's his first foray into Gueliz, and he brings a contemporary take on Moroccan ingredients that's surprisingly lacking here. The menu skips from the likes of watermelon, feta and olive salad to crispy chicken sandwich with harissa mayo and fries.
Vegetarian options are plentiful and inventive. There's also Western-style brunch (French toast, eggs benedict etc) and a kids menu. The restaurant is named after a type of rug commonly found in Moroccan souqs, and the dining hall uses red Berber kilim designs for its seats and cushions, adding a themed colour pop that strikingly offsets the minimalist backdrop.
