La Mezzanine
$ | Fez el-Djedid
Just a five-minute walk from the medina, this lounge-bar and restaurant is a haven of Fassi cool. It's undergone a modern Moroccan redesign and now the air-conditioned interior is cool white tadelakt with splashes of vivid red. The roof terrace with its lounging cushions and oversize lanterns is the perfect place for a sunset drink overlooking the lush Jnan Sbil gardens. Or enjoy a casual meal of salads (the Caesar is particularly good) and fusion tapas, such as Roquefort-filled briouates (savory pastries ) and patatas bravas. Naturally, this chic oasis managed by an equally hip and friendly staff is outfitted with Wi-Fi and a sound system.
