Cafe Tajine

Moscow


With a reputation as a bohemian hang-out, this place specialises in modern Moroccan cuisine. Prominently on the menu are four types of tajine (slow-cooked stew with meat and vegetables) and numerous meze snacks. Worth a special note is the long (and stellar) list of desserts, such as date pudding with caramel, tahini ice cream and pomegranate granita.
