Number One

Tangier


The orange walls and white windows in this renovated apartment provide the feel of a holiday cottage, while the red lighting, background jazz and exotic mementos lend it an intimate, sultry allure. The Moroccan-French cuisine gets high marks from locals, who have been coming here for decades. Alcohol is served.
