Why Go
- Number One in Tangier is a bar and tapas restaurant on the corner where Boulevard Pasteur runs into Boulevard Mohammed V, opposite the Rembrandt hotel.
- It has been open since the early 1990s, run by Karim, who lived in the United States for about ten years before returning to Tangier.
- The room is a converted apartment with pink walls and two decades of memorabilia, so it reads like a private flat rather than a bar.
- Karim programmes the music himself, mostly jazz and blues, and he is usually behind the bar to talk about the city.
- An adjoining dining room serves dinner, so it works as a whole evening rather than a first drink.
