Hotel restaurant
Dar Zemora's two cooks serve up Moroccan cuisine with a Mediterranean twist for a two-course light-lunch each day and dinner at 8.30pm every night. Almina mans the stove on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday evenings to rustle up a six-course tasting dinner; Jamila takes over with a four-course set Moroccan dinner on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Although the evening menu is set, any special requests or dietary requirements can met, with notice.
