Pairing Bastilla correctly — a note on almond milk

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bastilla. I ordered it with almond milk and the sweet and savoury together elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. ras el hanout in particular became more prominent in a good way.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. The a family couscous Friday is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Bastilla with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
