Description:
Widely acknowledged as the top Moroccan eating spot in Madrid, the Al Mounia first opened in 1968 under the auspices of owner-host Sahri and his daughter, stunning a then more traditional and provincial scene with its exotic cumin- and pistachio-flavored cuisine, atmospheric mosaics, embossed tiled decor, and high standards of service. Today it's particularly popular with couples or party groups. The imaginative maghrebi menu extends far beyond the conventional couscous, and gourmet standouts are its delicious pastilla (pigeon pie) and metaui (Berber roast lamb). After the meal sample from the outrageously delicious Oriental pastries and dried fruits from the dessert trolley, accompanied ideally by fresh mint tea. The restaurant's cellar includes a selection of excellent Moroccan wines.
