Tom Yam — Restaurant in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

Okay, so we arrived at 1930 to find a closed grille but the owner (French) kindly came out to advise that the restaurant opens at 2000 but it was fine to come in from 1945 for drinks. When we came back another kindly Moroccan gentleman greeted us at the door and inside the owner invited us to choose our table. We had two Cassablanca beers while we chose our meals.

We noted that the - white - tablecloth was quite filthy, a brown mark all along the edges of the table, and we only remained because it was covered with glass, itself looking as though it had been wiped over with a dirty rag.
