The chef prepares everything around your choices.
Asilah is not Marrakech. The cuisine here reflects the city's position at the edge of the Atlantic lighter spicing, stronger herb flavors, and an Andalusian influence carried across from the Spanish coast just 45 kilometres away. When you cook in Asilah, you cook the way people have cooked in this whitewashed medina for centuries.
