It might not look like the place you’d go to for a killer chicken tagine but it actually is. The menu is almost comically varied with its mix of hamburgers, polvo with smashed potatoes, cataplana, greek salad, and paella, but don’t let that faze you. Since this dock-side strip caters mainly to tourists, they seem to get away with it by pumping each dish full of loosely-Mediterranean flavors peppered with a few shakes of Morocco. Forget the globe and go for the tagine of baby chicken with fresh veggies. It comes served in the traditional piping-hot teepee-shaped tagine and pays proper homage to the original Moroccan recipe.
