A great place serving authentic, quality food near the Jamaa El Fna.

There’s a lively atmosphere with live music playing most evenings as you dine.
L’Mdina has an interesting menu and includes a good variety of options.
You can get a traditional tangia, which is tender meat, cooked for hours in an earthenware pot, called a tangia.
A tangia is often left to cook in the embers of the local hammam and collected later in the day.

The lamb is cooked to perfection, succulent, and tender.
The fragrant aroma as it is tipped from the tangia onto the plate is mouthwatering.
The salads are also delicious and creative, combining an interesting infusion of delicious flavours.
I especially enjoyed the vegetable tagine, with root vegetables and chickpeas.

L’Mdina is a restaurant serving Moroccan, Mediterranean, and international dishes with a traditional gastronomic touch.
It is located about 2 minutes from the square.
They also welcome people who simply want a coffee or just a drink at the bar whilst listening to some live music.
The menu is suitable for vegetarians with vegan options also available.
The restaurant seats 60 people and is beautifully decorated with an authentic Moroccan theme.

The musicians played a mix of traditional Morroccan and Latin American music.
They entertain the diners without being too loud, so it is still possible to engage in conversation.
It is a perfect setting.
A combination of good food, a nice relaxed ambience, as well as being budget friendly.
L’Mdina was busy, but I didn’t have to wait long.
I was happy to be seated outside on a nice, warm evening.
I was content experiencing the vibe of the restaurant mixed with the magic of the medina during evening time.
L’Mdina is close enough to the main square for a break from the hustle and bustle, whilst still feeling a part of it.
It’s a place to go for an hour or so to recharge your batteries.
There is a set menu at lunchtime for 85 dirhams, and it’s worth every penny.

If you want a tasty meal, which is reasonably priced with some entertainment, I recommend giving L’mdina a try.
