The Best Moroccan Food at Al Ain Just Outside Marrakech

The luxe dinging experience, authentic aromas and moroccan style entertainment will makes this an unforgettable experience for all your senses.

The meals started off with a selection of house made breads and oil, which seems to belong to every moroccan meal. Just like all the baking at the Fairmont. My favourite was the lemon bread, just the right amount of tang with the crusty roll. An amuse bouche consisted of a pumpkin soup, which was light but rich in flavours, in a bright orange colour. While we enjoyed the meal live music was being played which set a most perfect tone for a real moroccan dining experience.

We ordering the Moroccan salad, which is a selection of cold salads so mouthwatering and satisfying, it could have been my entire meal. Along with the salad we tried the seafood pastilla, a filo filler pastry with prawns, calamari and cod fish. The presentation of both dished was absolutely superb.

For the main course we ordered the mixed grill, which is a selection of grilled meats of minced meat (formed into a kebab), liver, chicken and lamb; served with an oriental rice. Everything was amazing and not overly heavy. The tagine (a must try, as it is a traditional dish) was served up in the clay tagine dish and poured onto the plate right at the table. The aromas were mesmerizing and we just could not get enough of it. We finished every last bite!
