Cafe Mauresque is a great restaurant in the heart of the city. The atmospheric surroundings and delicious North African dishes on offer make this restaurant an ideal venue whether it is for lunch or dinner. Available on the menu are tagines, salads and a variety of tapas such as houmous and marinated olives. more

Had a great lunch special - meal and beer or glass of house wine for £8. Food was great and much bigger portion than expected. Staff were very good and atmosphere in restaurant was lovely. Would definitely recommend for almost any occasion. more
