Le Comptoir (Marrakech) - Q

Le Comptoir is another restaurant that came highly-recommended by many and apparently one that is popular with stars (a quick tour of their website boasts pics of the likes of Will Smith and Laurence Fishburne). It serves traditional Moroccan cuisine as well as a mixture of East-meets-West dishes. It is also well known for a spectacular show of belly-dancing, promising a quintessential Moroccan experience.

When we first arrived at the restaurant, we were invited into a dimly-lit, richly-decorated space that was a cross between a Moroccan palace and a trendy New York club/restaurant. We started off by ordering some house cocktails while they served us three different kinds of bread. My sister ordered a pastilla (or bastilla) with chicken for appetizer, which she really loved (so much so that she ordered a second one later). I got a small sampler plate of various ingredients such as cheese, tuna, etc. stuffed in phyllo (or filo) dough and they were very tasty. While I opted to go with a traditional tangine for entree, my sister went for steak which she has been craving. My tangine was served with a flair (see pic) but I thought the meat was a bit tough. My sister's steak, on the other hand, was prepared well and the fries were accompanied by three deliciously-flavored mustard.

As our meal started to wind down, the performance began. As the music started, a number of belly dancers strutted their stuff around the restaurant. The dancers were all very beautiful and sure could move their hips. They not only mesmerized all the men in the room but also captured the attention of the women. It was a lot of fun and everybody seemed to have a good time. The trendy restaurant attracted a chic clientele - almost everyone was a tourist or expat but it was certainly a happening place to be.
