The Kasbah Bar at InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa is bringing a twist to poolside dining with a menu that boasts more than a dozen different types of French fries from around the world. Guests can dip themselves into the partial-infinity pool while dipping their New Zealand Chippies into the homemade tartar sauce. The unsalted variety with a delectable dark chocolate fondue are a real treat, too, and there’s something to be said for the Japanese fries with Teriyaki wasabi sauce. Did we mention the Moroccan fries with cilantro babaganoush? A timeless guilty pleasure just got a whole lot better! For more information, visit www.icmontelucia.com.
