Dar Rbatia opened in 1989 in Sidi Fateh, once the quarter of Rabat’s wealthy families. The house dates from the 18th century and was turned into a restaurant by local craftsmen working with traditional methods, in carved wood and zellige.

We invite you to taste Moroccan cooking rich in flavour: a spread of salads, tagines, couscous and pastillas, then mint tea, in a traditional setting with a warm welcome.
