I had lunch at Le Tanjia, a restaurant in the Marrakech medina or old city. When in the medina, this is one of my favorite places to have lunch or dinner, and their brunch on Sunday is very good. This time was particularly enjoyable, since I spent it with some darling friends, Sarah and John, whom I met some time ago through this blog. They passed the last several months here in Marrakech but sadly, are off now…. to Paris (What a difficult life they lead, I know, I know…).
I thought I would share with you several pictures of Le Tanjia. Serene and elegant, decorated in hues of chocolate and cream. I think my designer friend, Patricia, might approve.
The terrace with its beautiful rose-filled fountain is perfect for whiling away day-time hours (Do get one of the tables along the fretwork lined sides -- wonderful views.)
The inside rooms, settled around an interior court, are just the thing for night-time soirees for two or more – cozy and atmospheric, without resorting to the wild panoply of colors for which Marrakech is so famous. The carefully prepared food won’t disappoint either. Try one of their rocket laced salads with a glass of wine.
