For lunch, dinner of a drink I went to a small restaurant just north of the artisan market. You could sit here outdoors in the shade. There were a few chairs and a couple of benches in front of the small white building (picture 1). The place was frequented by many of the visitors. The meals were basic, but good. You could choose for a vegetarian meal or a meal with meat. There was rice, couscous or pasta.
Besides the mainstage was the huge restaurant tent of Cheche tours (picture 2). Here I took my breakfast. The people who had the meals included in their tour came here for all their meals. In the night the tent served as nightclub with a big variety in alcoholic drinks and swinging music.
Strolling around in the festival area I saw several places where they prepared food in huge pots (picture 3), roasted huge pieces of meat (picture 4) or supplied fresh goat meat (picture 5).
Favorite Dish: I prefered the vegetarian meal with couscous.
