Once upon a time in the North, the passion for exquisite North-African cuisine and contemporary culinary art dragged the team of Hicham, Hicham Daoussi, Pasi Virta and Richard McCormick to create the most culturally diverse restaurants in the city, Sandro. A madness of Moroccan flavors is to be found in the Marrakech Madness Brunch. Sample the Jerusalem’s Fatan and aubergine ragout, and the Iranian sabich among countless other dishes.
