Bouchera's Cuisine
« Aimer la cuisine d'un pays, c'est déjà aimer le pays » Jean Giono
Discover the Moroccan cuisine through one of its best ambassadors, Bouchera. Moroccan cuisine offers a fascinating variety of flavors. It has been influenced by Arab, Berber, Moorish, Jewish and also some countries in Southeast Asia such as India. It draws on emblematic dishes known to all such as couscous, tajine, the barbecue as well as other less consumed outside of Morocco such as the pastilla or Harira (soup of breaking the fast of Ramadan). Morocco offers one of the most extensive range of dishes and will please all palates: from lovers of meat (lamb, beef, chicken) to fish lovers (especially in Essaouira) through vegetarians who will enjoy tagines, couscous and pastilla. Moroccan cuisine has a much more systematic use of certain spices than European cuisines and Bouchera is truly an artist when it comes to dealing with them. Riad du Figuier offers you a broad range of menus that should please everybody.
