Beldi Fusion Kitchen Bahia review: our verdict
The best time to climb onto this rooftop is just after visiting the Bahia Palace, when the sun is setting over the roofs: the restaurant is right across, on the Bab Mellah side, and its terrace overlooks the quarter. The menu offers a double play, with tajines and couscous on one side, and travel-inspired pasta with seafood, spiced lamb, falafel in several versions, up to a pumpkin with orange blossom water on the other.
The illustrated menu with photos is a real service for those discovering Moroccan cuisine, and the dishes arrive true to the images. The service is attentive, the atmosphere relaxed, the desserts indulgent, and the starter platters are shared for two. We come here as a family, between friends, or as a couple for a dinner with a view. Those looking for aperitifs will pass: not a drop of alcohol here, it's the homemade mocktails that clink.
The trap: arriving without a reservation at sunset, when everyone is aiming for the roof. The good tip: come on a Friday, the day when couscous joins the menu, as tradition dictates. The best slot: late afternoon in dry weather; if it rains, the meal moves indoors to the lower rooms.
