Our house

A table, a school.

At Lalla Amira, the restaurant and the cooking school share the same kitchen: that is where classes take place, and where the dishes served in the dining room come from.

Café from 9 am, lunch, cooking classes all day, dinner until 10:30 pm: one address in the medina, a short walk from the Koutoubia.
