Dar Cherifa

Occasion: Lunch with Winnie, after some pathfinding adventures in the medina.
Location: Dar Cherifa, just to the west of the souks, in a derb off rue Mouassine - not that you'll be able to find a street sign that identifies it as such
Edibles: lunch of Moroccan salads

Musings: Sort of a cafe and art gallery, with a small shop and a roof deck. It's just a stunning building, with tall, soaring walls and arches surrounding a sunlit central courtyard. Intricate carved wood and plasterwork *everywhere.*

After snapping photos up, down and sideways, we settled down to order lunch. Le Clos' substantial breakfast ensured that neither of us was terribly hungry, so we went with those omnipresent Moroccan salads - a nice, light lunch. This time, we got: peas and carrots; green beans; fried eggplant; marinated olives; zucchini salad; and stewed lentils. We also got a basket of this hard, chewy wheat bread that was covered in cracked wheat.

The lunch was nothing special - the salads not as complex or deftly executed as those from Le Marrakchi - but it's still worth a trip to see the building and the local artwork.
