The New Normal - Food continued; Scala Restaurant, Casablanca

After church today, Carolyn took Richard, Susan and I to a great restaurant called Sqala.  You'd be hard-pressed to find this restaurant at all if you didn't know it existed.  It is essentially hidden in the ochre wall of the sqala, fortified bastion built in the 18th century.  The inside of the establishment is rustic, with typical Moroccan decor and a blue theme.  What makes it especially beautiful is the garden, including impressive trellises, and a blue-tiled large water fountain.  It feels like you are sitting in a courtyard and is a most pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

The food was awesome and seems authentically Moroccan.  Richard and I both had tajine, which were piping hot and delicious.  Another plus was the friendliness of the staff and the fact that our waiter could speak English quite well.

I would highly recommend this restaurant oasis in Casa!
