Marrakesh

If you venture up a little side street off South, you'll find a hand-painted sign adorning a bright blue wall. You've made it to Marrakesh. Knock on the door to be let in and you'll just be starting an amazing epicurean experience. The space is on the dark side, walls are covered with ornate fabric and a few choice lanterns provide light from high up near the ceiling. A seven course meal awaits you along with some delicious house wine. From the ritual hand-washing and the towel on your lap for use as a napkin to the tender lamb braised with honey and almonds, this is authentic as you can get without hopping on the Marrakesh Express.
