Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Morocco
Book Review: mixed results
Summary: 3 Stars
For budget-minded travelers, LP usually provides a good guide to to inexpensively explore new countries, and this just-released edition is no exception. The guide provides accurate lodging descriptions for Fez, Marrakesh and Essaouira and great bargaining tactic suggestions, but very poor food recommendations.
Its restaurant reviews consistently focus on decor rather than the quality of food, leaving me and my travel companion to suffer more than once through lonely, barely-edible meals at empty restaurants where owners spend more time focusing on decorations than on sauces. As usual when traveling, follow your nose and look for places where lots of locals eat, as these typically present best value, quality, and "authenticity."
A good alternative to LP for Morocco is Rough Guide, which also just came out with a new edition.
