Best Dishes at La Table Ocre

This is a Marrakchi specialty where beef shank cooks for hours until the meat falls off the bone. The kitchen builds depth by layering saffron and preserved lemon, making the sauce rich and complex. Reviewers consistently call out the tenderness of the meat and how the braising liquid coats bread perfectly.

Vegetarian couscous here is not an afterthought — it's prepared with the same care as meat versions. The grain is light and separate, the broth is aromatic with cinnamon and cumin, and the vegetables (carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage, chickpeas, onions, turnips) are cooked until tender but not mushy.

Medfouda is a lesser-known but beloved Moroccan dish where seasoned ground meat (usually a mix of beef and lamb) mingles with zucchini, tomatoes, and onions in a clay pot. The meat breaks apart into the sauce, absorbing all the spice and acidity from preserved lemon. It's homestyle comfort.

This is the everyday tagine of Morocco — the one grandmothers make for Sunday dinner. Chicken falls off the bone into a bright, tangy sauce. The preserved lemons give it acidity that cuts through the richness, while green olives add brine and salt. It's comfort food refined by the quality of the spices.

This is the refined version of Morocco's most iconic dish. La Table Ocre layers thin warqa pastry with a filling that balances savory spiced chicken, toasted almonds, and a hint of egg. The exterior crackles when you break into it, releasing warmth and the aroma of cinnamon and powdered sugar dusted on top.
