One of the best patisseries in town, L'Excellence specialises in local sweets; try a makrout (date-stuffed sweet), griwech (fried strips of dough in honey), kaâk (bagel-shaped sweet) or briwate (triangular puff pastry). The croissants and cakes are tasty too. Upstairs is a pizza restaurant with glass windows that overlook Banque Al Maghrib and Blvd Mohammed V.
