I hoped that the high rating meant I might get a good vegetarian meal there despite it being a meat and seafood place. The meat dishes looked well prepared and my friends enjoyed the lamb and prune tagine.
The two vegetarian dishes on the menu were just an afterthought--why did they even bother? The only vegetarian starter foul, made with fava beans, was pile of old, leathery beans and not the lovely, oil drenched dish with fresh herbs I'd had elsewhere.
The vegetarian cousous was big chunks of boiled vegetables on some couscous with a broth-like sauce on the side--why not cook the veg in broth to add flavor? It was bland and uninspired and reminded me of cafeteria food. I won't be back.
Pros: great meat dishes
Cons: terrible for veg dish
