Le Douar review: our verdict
From the roof of Meydene, M Avenue stretches out beneath the terrace, and it is at sunset that the view truly comes into its own. Le Douar plays the Moroccan village here: earthenware crockery, staff in traditional dress, gnaoua music in the background, serving only Moroccan cuisine. Since its opening in late 2021, this has been defended by women from the surrounding villages: couscous, tangia, chiwates, seafood pastilla, and a sweet apple version to finish.
It's where we take visiting friends who want to discover local cuisine, or family for a hearty dinner at reasonable prices given the location. The heated pergola keeps the terrace usable in winter. Tajine purists will go elsewhere: cooking and seasoning vary from night to night, with a ras el hanout marinade that can turn bitter. And when the terrace is full, service loses its thread, with missing glasses and delayed napkins.
The dish to order: couscous, or tangia, more consistent than the tajines. The trap: letting bottled water run out of the glass bottle, billed at 50 DH (recorded in July 2026); state what you want right away. The best slot: sunset over M Avenue; book a table by the edge of the terrace.
