Mourad

These days you can find the chef of San Francisco's once beloved Aziza, Mourad Lahlou, lavishing his attention on his second culinary home, Mourad. The glamorous younger sister of the original, at Mourad globular chandeliers and columns lit floor-to-ceiling shine on a lofty dining room. On the table, the chef features la’acha, family style dishes like whole duck with saffron, stone fruit and cucumber or chicken with preserved lemon and green olives served with various sides. The tasting menu ($155/person) will get you bites of seven savory dishes, two sweet ones and some tisane—herbal tea with mint and verbana—for sipping.
