2 Medz about mediterranean

A lonesome Sunday lunch at the Medz, tucked in a far corner of Orchard Central B2. This has a dining concept similar to Marche where you get a card which captures your orders, except that the food has a Mediterranean focus. The various stalls were ordered by cuisines of Mediterranean countries such as Greek, French, Tunisian, Italian etc.

I had the vegetable tagine with couscous ($8+). I was hoping it would come in those cute tagine earthenware pots but sadly, it was served without the lid. The stew was hearty and mildly spicy, with chunks of tender braised broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, tomato, corn and peas. The couscous was topped with a simple but delicious sweet golden raisins. Overall a very heartwarming dish, although the gravy was a bit oily and salty.

A view of the restaurant from the corner where I was sitting. I wouldn't mind a return visit to check out the paellas and kebab station, which looked really tempting.
