The kitchen philosophy centers on "New Moroccan" - a style that respects age-old recipes while bringing them into the 21st century. The restaurant sits at the crossroads of culinary innovation and Moroccan heritage.

AMBIENCE
Clean lines and natural materials create spaces that pay tribute to Moroccan craftsmanship while staying current. The dual rooftop spaces offer sweeping views across the city's skyline to the mountains. As darkness falls, handmade lamps cast intricate shadows on the walls. Plush seating areas and secluded corners make each table feel like a private dining room.

MUST-TRY
The kitchen's lamb chops have become their calling card. Their take on vegetarian pastilla combines local goat cheese with sweet caramelized onions. House-made ice creams come in unexpected combinations like saffron-ginger and fresh verbena.

FOOD
The kitchen works closely with local farmers to source seasonal produce. Each plate shows careful consideration of textures and tastes. Traditional Moroccan flavors meet global cooking techniques with impressive results. The drink menu features creative juice combinations that work perfectly with the food. The dessert selection stands out, especially the creative frozen treats.
