The first Taroudant riad to open as accommodation, Riad Maryam has been overtaken by other flasher options, but it's still a wonderful location for an evening meal. Multicourse menus, including soup, salad and dessert, are served in the verdant inner courtyard. Prior booking is essential, so follow the signs and visit in the morning to book for the evening.
The family owners speak French but little English. The riad isn't always open for guests; it's best to call ahead.
