    Especially at night but even in daytime, you canbuys all kinds of sweets (with chocolate mmmm) on the Djema El Fna market. They're very cheap but also very sticky.

  • Yacout, behind high walls in Marrakesh's ancient medina, is set in a ravishing small 17th- and 18th-century palace, its various rooms in early January glowing with crackling fires in the fireplaces, lighted by ornate filigree and colored-glass fixtures, its walls miracles of colorful tilework. Waiters in long white caftans moved silently about, and from the roof terrace one could look out over the old quarter, or back to the inner courtyard and its pool.

    Local Cuisine: Seafood pastilla - a must-try at Cafe Argana

  • Cafe Argana is one of the Djemaa el Fna institutions, a multi-tiered restaurant that packs customers in in the evenings. It seems to attract more of an even mix of Moroccans and foreigners than the other places in the square and there were plenty of families and big parties on the night we visited, giving Argana a more festive atmosphere than those that are more popular with couples. It must be partly down to the sheer size of the restaurant, as the decor is not the most plush on Djemaa el Fna, with simple tables and plastic garden chairs. Service is brusque too, and we were barked at for trying to order a meal on the wrong balcony... Food was the usual Moroccan staples (tagines, couscous, you'll have the choice imprinted on your memory after a trip to any similar place) but for... seafood pastilla. Finally. I'd heard about this dish, but had up until Argana only seen the chicken or pigeon version. I was very keen to try a pastilla (or bisteeya/b'steeya), having a love of all things pie-like, but not eating meat... The rest of the food was quite ordinary but the pastilla made the Argana more than worthwhile.

    Seafood pastilla - even better than I'd hoped. Pastry that was crisp and flaky on top, soft and buttery further in: delicious. They didn't skimp on the filling, an interesting mix of vermicelli and shellfish including prawn and squid. Quite simply, the best thing I ate in Morocco.

  • A large restaurant on the edge of the Djemaa el-Fna square which consists of two levels, the bottom level seems to be where the locals hang out and the top floor is where the tourists tend to go. Not a bad thing, since the top floor has access to some tables on the terrace with good views over the market. A good place to take some photos of the market without the hassle of hawkers.

    A wide variety of tagine's (lamb, chicken, beef) but my favourite was the lamb tagine with apple. The lamb was succulent, falling of the bone, and the apple gives it's a sweet kick not unlike the traditional apple sauce you would have with pork in the uk. Along with bread to mop up any of the sauce, it's a homely meal that I kept on coming back for more.

  • One of the scenic Djemaa el Fna restaurants-with-balcony, Cafe de France was probably the least iviting in terms of decor of all the places I tried in the square. It looked pretty standard in terms of menu too - the usual tagines, teas and so on. But it has something the others don't: a wood-fired oven on the top level where you can watch pizza after pizza being slid in before being removed and carefully sprinkled with oil. The pizzas are the thing to try. Small and perfectly formed, they are great value for around 3-4 dirhams, with thin, crispy bases and a variety of tasty toppings. It's great to anticipate your lunch while watching them being prepared, and the Moroccan pizzaiolo lends some atmosphere to the restaurant. The view is not quite so good as the nearby Chez Chegrouni, but Cafe de France is a good solid choice for lunch.
