About the Activity

Fluent in French, English, Arabic and Berber, I like to communicate and transmit the values of my Moroccan culture, based on sharing and respect. I offer varied menus with fresh or cooked starter, main course and homemade dessert. I use fresh quality and mainly local products to reduce the carbon footprint. My priorities are: satisfy my customers, share a tasteful pleasure and an unforgettable moment in a typical Moroccan atmosphere. I pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene throughout my cooking class.
