Having relocated to larger premises and revamped the popular home-style Moroccan fare, Youssef’s new eatery Argana is a worthy successor to his and Beijing’s first Moroccan restaurant Moro, and a welcome addition to bustling Xingfucun Middle Road.

El Wajh

Location

No.207 south of Maoming Rd. //上海卢湾区茂名南路207号8座(近永嘉路) Tel:021-64660479
Shanghai

It was a pleasure to meet a chef so open and keen to introduce us to his national cuisine, which is a treasure chest seldom rummaged through by either Shanghainese or BFICese.

El Wajh (Beijing Branch)

Location

26 Dong Cao Yuan, Gong Ti South Street //北京市朝阳区工体南路东草园26号 Tel:010-6551 6788
Beijing
China

A great injustice stoically endured by Beijingers was righted on September 1st when Face Group finally introduced its Moroccan arm El Wajh (already enjoyed in Shanghai, Pudong AND Jakarta, not that we’re bitter) to the capital.

El Wajh, meaning ‘face’ in Arabic, merges well with the intricately-carved wooden sculptures, rich red and blue walls, low hanging lanterns and billowing drapes of Face’s Indian restaurant Hazara, whose dining space it shares.

Moro

Location

No. 8 Xinyuan Nanlu. // 北京市朝阳区新源南路8号楼(近京城大厦) Tel:010-84488250
Beijing, 11
China

It’s unassuming, and that’s kind of the point. Easily missed among the row of brightly-colored store fronts just west of Capital Mansion, this chill, homey Moroccan eatery is a true gem to be discovered.

The whole experience here is a bit of a throwback to the days when a restaurant was less like the clinical eating factories cluttering the San Li Tun area and more of a place for camaraderie and hospitality.

Marrakech

Location

133 Fuxing Xi Lu, Near YongFu Lu Tel:6433 4261
Shanghai, 31
China

Marrakech is one of my Shanghai stables; great for a date, a big group of friends or even bringing your clients somewhere different.
Owner Judy has done a great job with the decor, transforming the innards of this unassuming building on Fuxing Lu into an Arabian Nights style hideaway.

Face Bar Moroccan Restaurant

Location

1800 Jinke Road, Dongjiao State Guest Hotel, Pudong, Tel: (86 21) 5027 8261
Shanghai, 31
China

Set in deepest, darkest Pudong, where expats with big expense accounts live, you will find Face. It is set in a beautifully landscaped villa complex and, as your taxi winds its way along the road, you pass lush rolling green grass and a big blue lake complete with fountain.
