Solamo's Café — Restaurant in arrondissement de Sidi Belyout مقاطعة سيدي بليوط

I asked the reception from the Hassan II mosque tour for a restaurant recommendation with good Moroccan food. Sadly, they directed us to this tourist trap. 2x 3x the prices of other places and very disappointing food for that price (the menu you find posted here is 2yo and no longer reflects the menu items found currently or the prices). Personally, I found the astroturf roadside seating tasteless, but that's subjective. If you do decide to go, sitting outside is not recommended with the busy main street right in front. I did find entertainment however in the drama unfolding at the café next door, plastic bottle throwing at and hitting on the accuseds head, the (allegedly) faulted party calling passing police over which did not get involved interestingly enough, the accused running from and back to the cafe while (probably) calling the police and getting his mugshot taken by the other party, lots of arguing with and teasing of the accused, not sure what it was about however since I dont speak Arabic. Entertaining none the less (I unfortunately can not guarantee the same entertainment level for your patronage). (Edit) Having been to more places in Morocco, I can now say with confidence that the Tagine they serve is laughable at best and the bread to go along with it stale. We were really disappointed then, and I am even more so now....

We tried to order 4-5 things from the menu that we were told they were out of, so after a lot of back & forth we opted for a pizza instead. We were told we couldn’t order one kind of pizza then told that we could. The struggle to find something on the menu at 6/6:30pm should have been a cue to get up & leave but we stayed, only to be disappointed by the one food item we found on the menu that was available & that was something we wanted to eat. The cheese on top of the pizza was barely melted. The scant amount of sauce was a sweeter sauce that definitely belonged on pasta, and the beef pepperoni were not cooked. The pizza we got looked nothing like the photos from the menu.

Terrible pizza aside, the juice was really good (when i could find one on the menu that was available). It took much longer than it should have to get the check but when we finally got it, it was less than 100MAD. We were also able to find a good table outside, and there was a light ocean breeze for most of our meal.

I think this would be a better place for lunch, maybe when more of the menu items are available. We were disappointed that so much of what we wanted to try was not available, and we “settled” on a pizza instead of leaving & finding...

Terrible service, even worse food & drinks. Expensive, poor quality, 20 minutes to attend and 30 minutes for the food to arrive. Cold coffee, small portions. Tried twice, never again.. EDIT AFTER REPLY: The first time I came with my wife, she ordered vegetable soup and received some type of cream with corn, no vegetables. She paid but didn't eat more than one spoonful of the 'soup'. I ordered crepe and coffee. The coffee came after 5 minutes but the crepe took more than 20 minutes, so the coffee was cold. The crepe was very small with little filling. Today, I asked (twice, two different people) for a salad without onion. It took a long time and arrived 50% onion and some tomato, cucumber. When I asked to change the salad, they brought me a pile of hot peppers mixed with onions. Never seen a salad like that in my life. I refused to pay because I didn't eat anything at all and the old man became very aggressive until the police man in the street told him to go back to...
