Comptoir Darna

Comptoir Darna is a chic French spin on a Moroccan lounge. It has a decidedly more modern atmosphere than most high-end restaurants here, with no carpets or tilework, just a few pillows and artwork scattered around. The food, too, is Moroccan with an update, like Moroccan pizza and spring rolls. It’s in a freestanding building (only a short walk from La Mamounia) with a pretty courtyard and a boutique with shawls, slippers, ceramics and jewelry from Morocco and India. This is definitely worth a visit, if not for dinner, then for drink and jazz after dinner. Evenings begin quietly, with diners who come for a mix of Eastern and Western cuisine, but things heat up late at night.
