Morocco West Restaurant<\/a> popped up earlier this year in the West End just off Robson on Jervis. The team behind the venture, Chef Nourdine\u00a0Majdoubi and\u00a0Kevin Lin are a worldly crew, having worked in restaurants and hotels throughout Europe and Asia, and, now settled in Vancouver, have chosen to bring guesst a Moroccan experience\u00a0with West Coast flair.<\/p>\n

The room is fairly unassuming, walking by you’d think perhaps a cafe, but the food has far more flair, packed full of flavour and served up in lovely colourful tagines.<\/p>\n

Moroccan food is sharing food, so it’s best to bring a few friends so you can sample through many tapas and split some of the tagines and other mains.<\/p>\n

We adore the\u00a0Zaalouk, an eggplant spread served up with their house-made bread that we could devour by the spoonful.<\/p>\n

Another must are the crispy Lamb Merguez\u00a0Sausage Samosas with dollops of\u00a0smoked tomato chutney.<\/p>\n

The meatballs as tasty, but I we ordered both these and the Meatball Tagine, which was a bit of overkill, so stick to the tagine and maybe switch it up with some\u00a0Chermoula Prawns in a cilantro pesto butter or a\u00a0Chicken Kebab alongside some\u00a0Sa\u001fron rice and sweet pepper coulis<\/p>\n

Do be sure to sample the\u00a0Lamb Couscous, \u00a0a richly flavoured dish\u00a0full of\u00a0Ras-el-hanout braised lamb, root vegetables, chickpeas, onion confi\u001et, raisins, Moroccan jus, a generous portion that made a tasty sandwich the next day.<\/div>\n

As mentioned, the Meatball Tagine is also worthy of your love, the meatballs swim ain a white bean ragout, alongside some zucchini and carrots.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The desserts of full of fruity and floral flavours. Always a brulee fan, their take on it, a\u00a0Couscous Br\u00fbl\u00e9e, is excellent, and also gives you some fruit serving for the day as it’s served with a<\/em>pricots, prunes, raisins and flavoured with cinnamon. Another winner is the Honey Lavender Pannacotta, decorated with\u00a0fresh fruit.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Social Shopper has many great deals and we completed this mission with their deal for $29 (value $75) <\/a>which included.<\/div>\n
