A Moroccan Getaway in the Deep South
Of my favorite things to do in life, shortly following eating, is traveling! And of course, my favorite vacation past time is finding new and wonderful places to eat.
Living in Florida, we are close to several states, Georgia being one of them. Atlanta is a favorite getaway for my husband and me. There is a fabulous hotel there, the Peachtree Westin, that offers panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline. It may not be New York, but it’s still breathtaking. But anyway, back to food, my absolute favorite place to eat in good ol’ Hotlanta is the Imperial Fez.
This quaint, little Moroccan restaurant boasts of being the best in the city. And trust me, it’s easy to see why. This isn’t just a place to go and eat Moroccan food. No this place transports you to Morocco! With tapestry-draped walls and ceilings, lush couches and pillows, and live belly dancers, every time I enter the dining room I feel like I’ve just stepped into a scene from Arabian Nights.
And that’s just the ambiance, the food completes the picture. The typical dining experience is a five course meal in which you are served a myriad of authentic, Moroccan delights. I would describe them all in detail, but unless you are familiar with Moroccan food, you wouldn’t have any idea what I was talking about.
I will say that their lamb shank is AMAZING! It is so moist and tender. The meat practically falls off the bone. It is slow roasted for several hours! My mouth is beginning to water just thinking about it.
My husband is taking me to Atlanta for my birthday, and I’m hoping that he will once again take me to the Imperial Fez. Especially now that I’ve tortured my taste buds by visiting their website, and viewing all the scrumptious dishes! Check it out for yourself. And if you’re ever in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and visit the Imperial Fez. You won’t be disappointed.

Having only seen the outside of this restaraunt I’m now dying to try the food! We’ll have to make a big trip together sometime.
