SABO review: our verdict
The glass-roofed patio opens up in the good weather, and it is under this sky that SABO serves the cuisine imagined by Jean-François Piège. The décor, designed by Jacques Garcia, pushes Moroccan romanticism to its limit, and so does the tableware. On the plate, generous and beautifully presented dishes, supported by sauces of good school, from béarnaise to lemon sabayon.
This is one of the restaurants of the Selman hotel, on the road to Amizmiz, and it lends itself to dinners you want to mark: wedding anniversaries, a night for two, reunions with friends. The service is attentive without being overbearing, the sommelier is good advice, and lounge music accompanies the meal. Those expecting a spectacular tasting menu may be surprised: the menu leans more toward chic bistro than high gastronomy, and the bill, it remains that of a palace.
The trap: come looking for a great gastronomic experience, when the strength of the place lies elsewhere. The good tip: let yourself be guided by the sommelier for the wine. The good slot: a fine weather evening, roof open; service in the evening only, from 7 pm, closed on Mondays.
