In celebration of Aaron's birthday the other night (happy 35th!) we went to try Le Marrakech in Marigot.
I was in this building once before back in 1998 or so, when it was a Creole restaurant. We met someone there for dinner - it seemed she had been there all day, she sort of conducted business meetings there, with drinks. This used to seem unusual to me.
It has always been a gorgeous building, and the current decor just makes it even more fabulous. I took a bunch of photos, mostly with flash as it is dim inside, but the flash just ruins the scene, so I am posting the only decent picture I took while there.
I really enjoyed our experience. When we walked in we were greeted by someone we recognize, a waiter from another restaurant, helping out the owner of Le Marrakech during the summer holidays.
In my zeal for new things, I ordered 2 different dishes which both were served encased in a pastry, good stuff but too much pastry for dinner!. I am looking forward to going back to try new things, especially a lamb tagine. Aaron had one with eggplant which had nice flavors but not a lot of actual lamb, strangely enough - I'd like to try the lamb with fruits, sounds wonderful! We were served mint tea at the end of the evening, which was a nice way to finish the meal.
Here is the menu from that night:

Happy birthday to A.!
I have been to this place once, I love Couscous!
Hey sissi! I passed your birthday wishes on, thank you. I also like couscous, though I have not eaten it too often. I tend to like it with lots of stuff in it, fruits and nuts and spices and meat and ... well, you get it. It never works well when I cook it however. Oh well!
