Cafe Clock’s Camel Burger

At Cafe Clock in the Fes Morocco medina, the ancient, maze like walled part of the city, British restauranteur Mike Richardson has discovered what he calls the perfect meat for burgers: camel. I tried the burger recently and surprisingly, it was excellent. Served with purple onion, tomato, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a spicy Taza ketchup sauce it passes for a typical burger in a New York diner. The taste of the camel isn’t strong, but rather mild and mine was rather juicy.

With Shepards Pie, cheesecake, cappuccino, Moroccan style tapas, a book exchange and library in a 250 year old building, Cafe Clock is the best hangout within the medina. If you are there it is worth checking out.
