Why eat here
- Le Grand Comptoir is Rabat's most enduring French brasserie institution, occupying a landmark 1930s Belle Époque building at 279 Avenue Mohammed V that rivals the grand cafés of Paris.
- The double staircase, art-deco chandelier, and dark wood panelling create one of the most atmospheric dining rooms in Morocco — favoured by diplomats, senior officials, and Rabat's business elite.
- Chef Richard Meyniel's seasonal menu is a faithful tribute to French bistro cooking: oysters, foie gras terrine, braised lamb shoulder, and grilled lobster sourced to the day's catch.
- The Laô Bar upstairs and GC Wine Tastin' mezzanine extend the experience to after-work wine, charcuterie, and live piano evenings.
