B'Stilla

This rockin’ modern Moroccan cranks funky tunes, proffers intriguing drinks and makes sparky little dishes built for socialising. The swanky space has Middle Eastern motifs (quatrefoil patterns, tagines and tiles) plus Melbourne hallmarks (back-street location, big terrace, long bar). The food has authentic flavours and fresh presentation. Parcel up a msemen pancake of lentils and seared scallops, then divvy up a piece of crisp-skinned cod on a swipe of zesty chermoula. Pair a tagine (perhaps chicken, date and almond) with a cous cous salad with coriander, and pick-that-flavour on a multi-component chocolate dessert. Be Stilla my beating heart.
