Last night a dinner was held with Mary Finnegan, the British Press guru. The venue was Ryad Mabrouka, just off the Talaa K'bira in Derb el Miter. Samir reports:This was a first for me. I had heard good things about Ryad Mabrouka, and was not disappointed. Yes it was beautiful and the garden a delight, but nothing prepared me for the cuisine. Cooked by the owner Michel Trezzy, it was a gourmet delight.
Michel is a great host and very generous with his knowledge about everything to do with the Medina - but most of all he is a great chef.
We started with home-cured gravadlax with dill, then swordfish in a delicate batter with a puree of leeks. All of which went beautifully with a chilled Moroccan white. Then it was on to a bottle of red to accompany a rare saddle of lamb with courgettes and potatoes, then a tarte with nectarines and strawberries and hazelnut ice cream. oh yum!

I am reading A House in Fez for the moment and found your blog because it is mentioned in the book :-)
Great book about a great city. I've never been there, but hope to come some day.
By the way - do you know that gravadlax is a Norwegian word :-) I'm Norwegian.
