The secrets beneath Casa Maroc - Restaurant Review

After being Gino’s for many years, I was intrigued to see what changes Casa Maroc were bringing to the restaurant situated on Bartholomew Street.

I visited Casa Maroc on a Thursday evening and despite Exeter’s car parks being full and the outside of the restaurant being brightly lit and inviting, I was surprised to find the restaurant relatively empty.

Bad news for Canadian anglophiles as the Canadian government suddenly declares several popular British foods unfit for sale.
