Walk times are straight-line estimates (×1.3 for streets, 5 km/h3 mph); “(area)” means the cluster centre, not the door. Diet “ask” means possible with care; Voykit has not tested cross-contact.
House rules for eating here
- On the square, choose a stall with a numbered board and a visible price; agree before you sit.
- Do not accept a tout's help to 'find a good stall' on Jemaa el-Fnaa: it adds to the price.
- Bread and olives at the table are sometimes charged; ask 'kayn taman?' (is there a price?)
