Stylish Gueliz spot for creative, vegetable-forward Mediterranean fusion with standout schnitzel and seafood; excellent service and ambiance but pricing, small portions, and occasional bland dishes divide opinion.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Plus61 delivers competitive quality with exceptional service warmth and striking Scandi-minimalist design that elevate the experience. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from beautifully seasoned schnitzel to under-seasoned plates— and deliberate pacing that occasionally feels slow prevent grade A territory. The creative Mediterranean-fusion menu and welcoming Gueliz setting make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking modern dining beyond the Medina, though premium pricing and portion concerns temper enthusiasm.
Restaurant Summary
Set in Gueliz, Plus61 feels like a modern, sunlit refuge from the Medina. Reviews highlight warm, paced service that explains each dish, and one diner noted, "the team walked us through every plate." The room reads Scandi-chic and relaxed, drawing travelers and locals alike. The cooking leans produce-forward Mediterranean with creative twists: miso-glazed cauliflower, yuzu-dashi crudo, prawn toast, and a much-loved chicken schnitzel. Expect bright flavors and clean presentation rather than heavy sauces. When the kitchen hits, it sings; a minority report under-seasoned or slow courses, so set expectations for thoughtful fusion over comfort classics. Families are welcome, with accessible items like schnitzel, pasta, and steak sandwiches. There is no kids menu, but portions of certain mains work for sharing. If your crew prefers simple flavors, consider the less spicy or dairy-rich choices; veggie sides and plain pastas can keep younger palates happy.
