The best pastry shops Marrakech

You can't pass by without going in: the myriad of colors of the macaroons that make you look at them! As its name indicates, Amandine offers you a choice of sweets to take away or to eat on the spot. Birthday cakes, pastries and creamy flans... the shop also makes operas, tarts and pralines. In addition to the very French pastry, Amandine also produces Moroccan cookies. At lunchtime, you can sit down for a quick snack.

Located on the ground floor of the famous Terrace of Spices, this sign has set itself a challenge: to make this address one of Marrakech's references in terms of small sweets. The workshop, with its bay windows, allows you to see the preparation of the delicious pastries, made from real home-made marzipan. Shortbread, chocolate pastilla or classic gazelle horns, to be eaten on the spot on a small wooden bench or to take away.

We discover at the very famous Madame Halami's all the flavours and subtleties of Moroccan pastry, undoubtedly one of the best addresses in Marrakech. Gazelle horns are crunchy and soft as you wish and it is not the only delicacy for which we succumb. We do not hesitate to taste homemade creations such as feqqas with fresh cream and delicate aniseed, ideal at tea time. Al-Jawda also offers delicious fresh juices and catering services. A gourmet break just the way we like it.

The Terrasse des Epices pastry shop offers a gourmet break at any time of the day. Briouates with honey, gazelle horns, marzipan and shortbread, about fifty references are proposed on the spot or to take away. These delicious pastries are also made in full view of the customers, a guarantee of quality. On the first floor, you will find a shop selling local products and a barber shop for those gentlemen who would like to have their beards shaved properly.

In the heart of Guéliz, and very close to the Turkish mosque, Al Fadl offers a refined pastry shop. You will obviously find a multitude of varieties of Moroccan cakes covered with honey and almonds and other gazelle horns, but also, if you feel the need, pastries (chocolatines and croissants) and French-style desserts. A little less convinced by the ice creams, we nevertheless recommend this establishment as a sure value. A mini outdoor terrace allows you to make a quick and greedy stop.

Looking for French pastries and viennoiseries? If you're dreaming of lemon meringue pie, opera or mille-feuilles to die for, this is the place to go. What's more, it couldn't be easier to find, since Gontran Cherrier's boulangerie-pâtisserie is located at the very start of chic M. Avenue. He offers us great classics, of course, but made by hand with the creativity that drives him. You can eat here at any time, in the dining room or on the vast parasol-covered terrace. Perfect for a sweet or savory break.

Hakima Halami's house has been renowned for years in the Red City and is undoubtedly the ideal place to taste succulent pastries or to buy them with your eyes closed: gazelle horn, fekka, makrout, baklava, mini briouate with praline, date ghriba or other oriental sweets made with honey and almonds will no longer have any secret for you. To bring back as a gift or to continue the experience once at home.

The location is ideal for a break near the Jemaâ el Fna square. Its many terraces offer as many atmospheres as the pastries are absolutely exquisite. The waitress patiently explained to us all the ingredients that each of them contained so that our choice would be most judicious. A wide choice of cakes, to be tasted locally or to take away.
