Hauled from a taboun (clay oven), crisp focaccia, laden with goat cheese, aubergine, smoked goose and more, are top of the menu at this popular place. You can also tuck into pizzas, pasta dishes, salads or steaks. There's a delightful terrace; inside, things get lively (rowdy, even), but the bar is great for solo diners.
