Restaurant Marrakech - The 10 best restaurants Marrakech - geocountry in 2024

Practical information : Eating out Marrakech

Timetable

Most establishments open for lunch from 12pm to 3pm, and in the evening from 7pm to 11pm. But it all depends on their category. As the city is very touristy, many of them are open all week long.

Budget & Tips

You can have lunch for less than €10 in a small neighborhood restaurant serving a local dish of the day. Establishments offering international cuisine (Japanese, Italian, etc.) charge prices closer to the French range. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, but always bring cash for the simpler places, such as Place Jemaâ el Fna or the small, popular restaurants.

What costs extra

In some of the local gargotes, as soon as you're seated, small plates of olives, bread and even a bottle of water are placed in front of you: beware, everything has to be paid for and is displayed on the obligatory menus. Refuse if this is not your choice. Generally speaking, if you're satisfied with the service, it's customary to leave around 10% of the total bill.

The local way

Don't be surprised to see Moroccans eating with their fingers instead of a fork, whether the tagine is communal or individual. Similarly, couscous is traditionally eaten with a spoon. To try it is to adopt it.

To be avoided

If you're tempted by the communal dish experience, or if you're a guest in a family home, remember to use your right hand only.

Kids

Children are welcome in all our establishments, some of which offer a special children's menu.

Smokers

Morocco passed a law banning smoking in public places two decades ago, but it is not enforced. Traditionally, people still enjoy smoking on café terraces.

Tourist traps

There are plenty of touts in the main square, and this can be confusing at times. Don't be impressed by their insistence or malice, and choose to sit wherever you like. The "gargotes" (taverns) that are taken over by locals who don't hesitate to queue for a seat are generally trustworthy and of good quality.
