Our resident food critic and gourmet guide has been on the road to seek out the great eating places around the country. This last weekend El Glaoui was in Marrakech and sent this report:Marrakech is foodie heaven and so it is hard to pick favourites but when you mix in ambiance, price and cuisine you begin to get an idea of what is a good eating place and what is an overpriced establishment with boring food and nothing really to offer but pretension. However... however then there is the Brasserie Orientale Le Tanjia - or simply Le Tanjia for short.
Situated in Derb J'did in the Medina, it is easy to find and worth finding. The food is Moroccan, but with variations and some other dishes on offer. The salads are some of the best I have had.What makes Le Tanjia worth visiting is the combination of atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Service was prompt and while the drinks were on the expensive side, they were not as outrageous as many Marrakech eateries who seem to think that every visitor is a Texas oil billionaire or a French merchant banker. No, Le Tanjia was good on price - value for money.
The crowd were a mixture of locals, the young and the adventurous. It was a fun evening and a place I would visit again.
