le palais oriental

I said last year I would never eat here again. I was dragged along as part of a friends day out.I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was superb. Great flavours and definitely Moroccan themed, No fat of gristle on any of the meat dishes. Chef had taken pride with the presentation of our dishes too.This place has really turned things around.The chicken pastries were delicious, I would go back just for them.I don't know if they still offer the cheesy entertainment but I suppose it would add to the ambience.The staff were a little bit slow and seemed a little grumpy hence the 4 stars not 5. But what an improvement from the 1 star of last year!

Myself and 2 friends had a great lunch here - 2 huge courses for €12 a head. Excellent flavours of more original food than most the local restaurants and pleasant attentive staff. However they do take their time to serve so only visit if time is on your side.

In need of some warmth on a wet and cold February evening, we thought some Moroccan food might provide some spice and heat.The decor, with copper ceiling, tagines & kettles and low blue banquettes provided a welcoming ambience. We chose from the 26 euro per person set menu, starting with a mixed salad, which was colourful & fresh and an aubergine dish, which although very tasty looked less than appetising!The cous cous with sausages & vegetables was bland and although the lemon & chicken tagine delivered a tart kick to the tastebuds, both dishes lacked the depth & complexity of spices we had hoped for. The selection of dessert pastries were uninspiring, all looking & tasting quite similar - sticky, flaky & sweet!The cocktails, consisting of white wine, orange juice & a dash of cinnamon, which we chose to accompany our meal, were overpriced at 12 euros. The restaurant had few customers and even the undulating performance of the belly dancer didn't spice up a cold February evening.
