"The ornate rugs, low-sitting tables, and poufs in the tent-like structure of this Belltown restaurant will transport you to the streets of Morocco. Marrakesh has been serving Moroccan cuisine in Seattle since 1989. You can’t go wrong with classics like chicken, honey, and prune tagines, vegetarian couscous, lentil soup, and the flaky sweet and savory b’stilla. If you’re dining with a party, consider mechoui — a WHOLE LAMB roasted over a charcoal fire — which is a perfect indulgence for a special occasion. (You have to give the restaurant three days notice and have a party of eight or more for this one.)" - Alicia Erickson
