Riad Oudaya Review

This riad restaurant serves delicious home-cooked cuisine in a serene, romantic setting. Candlelit, wrought-iron mosaic tables with comfortable high-back chairs are nicely spaced around an inner courtyard of clay bejmat, a gurgling zellij fountain, and Moroccan lanterns. In-house cook Aïcha prepares each dish with the freshest ingredients brought straight from the nearby vegetable souk. The meal commences with an alcohol-free aperitif, small samosa-like briouattes with an olive tapenade, and hors d'oeuvres of savory seasoned vegetables. The first of two main courses includes choices ranging from the very traditional pastilla au pigeon to aumônière crepes of Dorade filets. The second main course offers a tasty, fluffy vegetable couscous, tagines of beef or Dorade, or a mechoui of roasted mutton. There's plenty to follow, with two dessert courses offering a selection of homemade pastries, seasonal fruit, tarts (the apple and cinnamon is a personal favorite), crepes, or a sweet almond pastilla. There's also a lunch menu that is practically the same but reduces the main and dessert courses to one choice.

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.
