La Rive — Restaurant in Hassan حسان

TL;DR: Avoid this restaurant. Predatory and scammy behaviour.

The first evening I ordered a coffee (16DH) for takeout. When giving a 20DH and requiring 4DH change, the waiter simply said he had no change on him (only larger coins).

Consequently, we did not leave any further tip.

Had the waiter not been so sneaky we were planning to leave a tip worth much more...

They are definitely not prepared for large groups. There is a shortage of waiters, the food is brought out in a disorderly fashion, and drinks are served at room temperature. The salad was dry and they didn't have any oil or barely any vinegar. The meat was already cooked and dry when they served it. Half of the group left food behind and were still hungry. And to top it off, one person found a spider in their salad. The only good thing about this place is...
