The restaurant "Marokana" opened on the third floor of the hypermarket "Ramstor-2" on Sheremetyevskaya St., 60-A, and became the first in the newly created network. The interior of this small room is stylized as an area of ​​an ancient Moroccan city - with a fountain, wooden columns and a canopy "from the sun". The walls of the hall are deliberately "aged": covered with a network of "cracks" and "chips." The restaurant is amazingly picturesque, full of all sorts of colorful decorative elements and literally filled with southern heat and incendiary temperament. This is not surprising, given that Morocco’s geographical position has made this country the link between the European, Arab and African worlds. Surprisingly the other is the masterful embodiment of a colorful variety in such a tiny space. Carpets, like most of the interior details - from handmade copper utensils to ceramic tiles with artistic painting - were specially brought from Morocco, and many of these items are antique. In the restaurant "Marokana" there are all new portraits of famous people who chose this country for rest. And you, in turn, will be able to feel the warmth of the hot region, having been in the “Marokan” even in Moscow in the winter.
