Potato and leek soup at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Very good.

How I wish I had remembered the name of this restaurant, because the food was good, but the terrace setting was even better. Light filtered in through the bamboo covering, beautiful artwork adorned the back wall, and as in any Moroccan building, beautiful tiles abounded. The kefta were a tad under spiced, but the addition of the piquant sauce made them taste wonderful, so I had to wonder if this was by design. The meal was served with all manner of sides, including grilled and fresh veggies, a perfectly cooked rice pilaf, and fries. Somewhere to the east of Place Jemaa El Fna, next to Cafe Ristorante Salle.

I had several tagines while in Morocco, but this was one of my favorites. Rabbit tagine, curry spices, tender braised onions and raisins that were as plump and tender as grapes. Coupled with a gorgeous “panoramique” view, it was a wonderful lunch.

At Cafe Darna, Marrakech, Morocco.

Wild rabbit tagliolini. A bit dry, but pretty decent if you swirl it in the sauce settled at the bottom. At London Gatwick Airport.

Today I stopped by Victoria & Albert Museum for a bite to eat and to see an exhibit. I had read that the dining hall was beautiful, but I wasn’t quite prepared for this. (more…)
