Khadija
Fluent in French, English, Arabic, and Berber, I enjoy communicating and sharing the values of my Moroccan culture, which is based on sharing and respect. I offer diverse menus with a fresh or cooked starter, a main course, and homemade dessert. I use high-quality, fresh ingredients, mainly local, to reduce the carbon footprint.
