- Restaurants
In Morocco the most expensive restaurants in north Africa you'll find fish, especially on the coast, and chicken either roasted (rôti) or in a tajine with lemon and olive.
They normally serve pastilla too. This is a pie dish made with pidgeon (sometimes chicken) along with filo pastry and cinanamon. It's particularly popular in Fez.
Then, of course, there's couscous which is often a lot better when traditionally prepared at home than in a restaurant. It's a dish normally prepared for special occasions like holy days or fesitivals. The stuff you find in restaurants can be disappointing in comparison. Sometimes you'll even have to give two or three hours' notice for it to be cooked in a restaurant.
In some of the more expensive restaurants and at certain festivals they serve "mechoui", - roast lamb. Sometimes it comes served in the form of a whole sheep roasted on a spit!
Some of the more "touristy" restaurants also serve French dishes like steak, liver, and various fish and foul dishes, along with the world famous "Moroccan Salad". You'll normally have you're choice of fruit, yoghurt, or and crème caramel for dessert too.
Prices
In a cheap restaurant you'll pay around 80dh (£5/$8) for a typical meal including starter, main course, dessert and a drink. In one described as "moderate" you'll pay around 80/150dh (£5/9.50/$8/15). Expensive restaurants will charge you over 150dh (£9.50/$15) but you'll obviously get more food and it will be much better quality too.
