Our story

A table in the Souk Jeld, and a name that promises slow, patient cooking.

The name

“Antan” means days gone by. Les délices d’antan are the dishes worth taking your time over.

The name promises cooking rooted in recipes handed down: slow-cooked tagines, couscous, and Marrakchi tanjia cooked for hours in a clay urn. Around them, a few classics from further afield complete the menu.

The place

Souk Jeld Sidi Abdelaziz, number 1. The Souk Jeld is the leather souk: a maze of workshops in the heart of the medina, where craftsmen still work by hand.

You arrive on foot, through the lanes of the souks, between the sound of the workshops and the scent of spices.

How to get here

The spirit of the house

Home-style cooking

Tagines simmer gently, couscous is shared, tanjia takes its time: the menu follows the rhythm of yesterday’s recipes.

A table for everyone

Moroccan dishes to discover, international ones for a taste of elsewhere: everyone finds their place, with family, friends or on the road.

In the heart of the souks

A stop in the middle of the medina for lunch or dinner, a few steps from the leather craftsmen.
