La Bavaroise Review

This former 1940s German beer house is now one of the finest dining experiences in Casa. Moroccan maitre'd Zouhair Saoud and classically trained chef Bernard Bremond from Marseille are proving a hit combination with both locals and visitors. Located across from the busy local central market along a string of restaurants and bars, La Bavaroise has a wonderful atmosphere. The original floorboards, rough whitewashed walls, jazz music, and an intimate setting make you feel like staying here for a long meal, fine wine, and good conversation. The menu is extensive and seasonal, though Bernard recommends the seafood, as he personally places the order at midnight and has it collected at 5am when the boats arrive back into port. Current entrees range from a grilled vegetable and smoked herring salad to an adventurous millefeuille of marinated sardine served with a beet-root tartare. Beef, duck, lamb, and ostrich are charcoal grilled and served on a wood slab, while the catch of the day is roasted or grilled with olive oil, Atlas herbs, and pink garlic. There's a small brasserie at the entrance, where diners can select from the extensive in-house wine collection.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
