A tasting menu allows guests to experience Moroccan cuisine, with dishes that vary with the seasons and market produce, served in the traditional Moroccan style. A daily Moroccan breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the garden. Guests can try local wines and the Amani cocktail, created by the bar staff. The library salon bar with a fireplace is open in winter; the rooftop bar operates in summer.
