Our Mediterranean wine dinner wouldn’t be complete without some signature dishes reflecting Moroccan cuisine’s heart. Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect when you dine with us:- Tagine – This is one of the most iconic dishes in Moroccan cuisine. Slow-cooked in a traditional clay pot, tagine is a flavorful stew that can feature chicken, lamb, or vegetables simmered with aromatic spices like saffron, cumin, and cinnamon. It’s the perfect dish to enjoy with a bold red wine.
- Couscous – Another staple of Moroccan cuisine is a light, fluffy grain often served with stews or vegetables. It pairs beautifully with a delicate white wine or rosé, bringing out the subtle flavours of the dish.
- Pastilla – A traditional Moroccan pastry, pastilla is a delicate blend of savoury and sweet, with a filling of spiced meat (usually pigeon or chicken) wrapped in layers of crisp, flaky pastry. This dish can be paired with a slightly sweeter wine, offering a balanced contrast to the rich flavours.
- Moroccan Pastries – No meal is complete without dessert, and our Moroccan pastries are the perfect way to end your wine dinner. These sweet treats, often made with almonds, honey, and a touch of cinnamon, are best enjoyed with a glass of dessert wine.
