I met an old friend for dinner a few nights ago at the restaurant Marrakech, serving authentic Moroccan food. We arrived at 7pm to find an empty restaurant, but were delighted with the cozy decorations.

The house wine was decent and served in a massive glass, and they provided us with a large pitcher of tap water without charge. After perusing a slightly confusing menu in Dutch, English, and German, I had the chicken couscous, a huge meal that I didn’t come close to finishing, but very tasty!

The prices aren’t bad and if you’re looking for a quiet Sunday dinner, this is the place. It’s located close to Dam Square at the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 134.
