More food, I will make every attempt to hit as wide of a range in taste as I can (I wont post 5 pizza joints, I may not post any).
The Barbary Fig: I am not sure if this is called Mediterranean, Moroccan, North African or what, but it is good. My meal was a dish called Brik with Harissa. Brik is a flakey pastry wrapped around a filling of egg, onion and tuna. It is served a spicy sauce/paste called harissa. It is about 2 miles from the Crowne Plaza, and again it is up on the hill so you should probably take a cab.

This place is awesome! Thanx for the recommendation!
Jay & I had the Brik and the “special” appetizers (fried eggplant and goat cheese over polenta) followed by the swordfish special (with mint and lime, over cracked wheat and green olives) and the lamb special (boiled, unfortunately, with lentils and artichokes and beets). Then dessert… we had one of each: creme caramel, chocolate and hazelnut in filo with honey, bread pudding with cloves (a little odd) and dates with walnuts.
Interesting tastes, beautifully prepared. Good services too!
