The meal sounds like my idea of heaven (even the orange slices sprinkled with cinnamon!).Jeannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-31428099748773160022009-04-22T18:51:00.000+10:002009-04-22T18:51:00.000+10:00Ramsays - yes I would recommend it - it is a great break but not as cheap as you would expect<br /><br />Dan - I would recommend booking particularly if you want to go to the Al Fassia in the Villa Nouvelle (which is more centrally located) you don't have to preprder the lamb so no worries there.<br /><br />The Passionate Cook - what a shame. I have a stomach of iron so was lucky!<br /><br />Greg- I did a cookery class as well (will post on it soon) it was good fun. <br /><br />American in London - I agree with you booking seems to be the way to go at Al Fassia<br /><br />Ginger - Sorry: still a few posts to go!Gourmet Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15550630880349913974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-48973383774718941082009-04-22T17:51:00.000+10:002009-04-22T17:51:00.000+10:00I'm going to have to stop reading until you've finished posting about your trip, I can't bear it anymore!ginger@dinnerdiary.orghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07776091872680503338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-427854603163554752009-04-22T07:25:00.000+10:002009-04-22T07:25:00.000+10:00Dan, when I was at Al Fassia in January 2007, I showed up without a booking and got hassled about it (even though the restaurant looked 1/3 empty when I was there). So based on my single experience, I think booking (at least earlier that day) would spare you some angst.An American in Londonhttp://rwapplewannabe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-72831319975132413062009-04-21T22:56:00.000+10:002009-04-21T22:56:00.000+10:00Spent a week in Marrakech last November and unfortunately never made it to Al Fassia. Did however enjoy a cookery session at http://www.kasbahagafay.com/ in the shadow of the Atlas Mountains. The Agafay Riad in town is also a gorgeous spot for a glass of wine or 2.Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03064991541722003332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-81614075207592626492009-04-21T19:54:00.000+10:002009-04-21T19:54:00.000+10:00i so wanted to go there and never made it... the portions amazed me whereever we went - definitely not going hungry there! it really looks like i must go back - and i will try and not get sick so i can enjoy the cookery workshop i had lpanned to attend!thepassionatecookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10617713421812264990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-68315564854949049622009-04-21T18:53:00.000+10:002009-04-21T18:53:00.000+10:00Timely review- I was considering visiting Al Fassia next week....I'd already singled it out in the Lonely Planet Guidebook - Do you have to order the slow roast shoulder of Lamb ahead of time? <br />Reservations needed or just show up?Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111357339779405801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528765748604760322.post-29572406621515796562009-04-21T18:20:00.000+10:002009-04-21T18:20:00.000+10:00I think ive just decided where to head for my next credit crunch holiday!
