Le Tobsil

Dine at here for an evening of decadent Morrocan feasting. Pristine white tablecloths, red-velvet seats, Berber rugs and golden candles decorate regal interiors, while seemingly endless courses of tagine, roasted meat, pastilla and couscous balance precariously on tables.

Le Zinc

Among the vintage shops and artisan workshops in Sidi Ghanem, Marrakech’s industrial quarter, Le Zinc is the perfect mid-shop pitstop for a spot of lunch. Enjoy French-themed dishes such as duck confit or beef parmentier paired with a bottle of crisp white wine.

Riad el Fenn

Head to the rooftop of Riad El Fenn for seasonally changing dishes and views that stretch across the city to the Atlas Mountains. Dine on traditional Moroccan fare that’s been given a modern twist (our favourite is the chicken ballotine-tagine hybrid) before sipping on cocktails under the stars. Finish with a trip to the concept store, where hours could be spent admiring Moroccan-style clothes, vintage bags and accessories, coffee-table books and homeware.

Café Des Épices

Also the work of Nomad’s Kamal Laftimi, Café Des Épices is located on the other side of the bustling spice market. Like Nomad, a cool, expat atmosphere prevails here. Visitors taking a break from the madness of the medina come in droves to eat vibrant salads, grilled meats and homemade sweets on the terrace, where wicker awnings dip gracefully over terracotta tiles.

Nomad

Nomad is a social hotspot for tourists and locals alike. Set over four levels and looking out over the old spice market, this cocktail bar and restaurant serves dishes inspired by traditional North African flavours, and frequently hosts pop-ups for local and international chefs. The menu is studded with reworked classics like chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives and traditional pastilla, usually filled with gently spiced pigeon. You can also feast on inventive modern dishes created using local produce. There are few places as magical as Nomad’s stylish rooftop to watch the sun dip behind the Atlas Mountains.

Le Jardin

Push open a creaking wooden door in the heart of the Medina to discover one of Marrakech’s top meeting places for artists and intellectuals. Le Jardin is a licensed restaurant, art space and hub of creative activity, hosting book launches and talks throughout the course of the year. There is an almost palpable energy winding around Le Jardin’s courtyard, which is surrounded by a 17th-century mansion and veiled by banana leaves and palm trees, with water features and emerald tiles covering every surface.

Terrasse des Épices

This tranquil rooftop restaurant was dreamed up by designer Anne Favier. The terrace offers panoramic views of the city and the snow-capped mountains, with cosy alcoves perfect for hiding out in the evening. Open for lunch and dinner, the menu combines Moroccan and international flavours, with dishes like monkfish tagine, gazpacho and citrus-spiked sardine tarts making it one of the city’s most beloved spots.

Al Fassia

There are endless choices, but when searching for the perfect tagine, look no further than Al Fassia. This sprawling restaurant is worth the journey over to the new town. Run exclusively by women, it offers traditional dishes bursting with flavour in a warm, candlelit room filled with both locals and tourists. Moroccan families gather around white-clothed tables for dishes of soft lamb with prunes, almonds and caramelised onions, perfect couscous and traditional Moroccan desserts like almond pastry or pancakes with orange and honey.
