El Korsan Review

Another of the restaurants inside the El Minzah Hotel, the "Corsair" serves up some of the best traditional Moroccan cuisine in the country. Upon entering the split-level salon, diners know they're somewhere special by the uninterrupted view of the Straits through 3m-high (10-ft.) bay windows. The menu includes Moroccan staples with a twist -- a harira Marrakchi soup with Tafilalt dates and a beef kebab tagine with eggs in a paprika sauce, for example. Those who can give 3 hours' notice can indulge in the house specialties of sea bream stuffed with seafood or mechoui (roast lamb) with prunes and almonds. The large salon has traditional low-lying tables and lounges, and at night diners are entertained by Andalusian musicians and traditional dance.

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.
