LE KILIM
Read moreIn the winning formula of trendy restaurants, here is the Kilim, one of the latest born. The name evokes the motif of the woven carpets that are honored in the decoration, between the fabrics that cover the cushions and the omnipresent red. The menu is modern and sober, but it meets the expectations of the heterogeneous clientele who frequent the establishment. We appreciate the size of the place and the space between the tables which allows a certain intimacy, whether as lovers or with a client. Special mention for the original cauliflower hummus roasted with argan, a killer!
BLACKCHICH CAFE RESTAURANT
Read moreIn the "Rue de la Cloche", a little more restaurant than café, the menu of BlackChich gives pride of place to Senegalese cuisine (beef mafé, chicken yassa, couscous...) but not only. We also find Lebanese specialties (hummus, falafels) and forgotten Berber dishes such as succulent angel hair flavored with cinnamon. From the initial concept, we find however the modern and arty decoration, the coolness of the staff and the democratic prices.

Convivial mezze to share, eggplant, hummus and labneh in all their most inventive forms. An original culinary concept!

MOUTON NOIR
Read moreIt is in a small street in Guéliz that chef Aniss Meski decided to set up the restaurant-cantine that was so important to him. From his time in the kitchens of Canada, he brought back an inventive approach by making a traditionally junk food more sophisticated , such as the burgers that he offers in his own way. The shrimp burger or the grilled cheese with caramelized onions will seduce American-style fast-food lovers but could also convert the most recalcitrant. On the spot, to take away or to have delivered.
LA COUR DES LIONS

Before the tasting, an aperitif on the terrace is a must.
O' MAMMY BURGER
Read morePalm of originality for the fun burgers at O'Mammy, located in the heart of the Golf Montgomerie. Pêle-mêle, the Men in black for the visual, the 007, reserved for cheese addicts, or the veggie with its fried vegetables. Quality and quantity are on the plate, right down to the onion rings , French fries, probably the crispiest in Marrakech, and homemade juices. And always this huge terrace and its very relaxing view over a small oasis in the middle of the green. A must see address that we no longer present!
SOUK KAFÉ
Read moreIn an alleyway off the main roads of the medina, one sometimes stumbles upon this restaurant with its atypical decor and its tribal and modern influences. The Moroccan touch is fully reflected in the 100% local menu: Kemia salads made according to the rules of the art, tagines served in their original earthenware dish, airy couscous with multiple flavours. A pleasant terrace where the misting device, welcome in the middle of summer, awaits you on the first floor.

Ideal for a traditional Italian lunch, you'll be seated in a rustic setting with red and white checkered tablecloths. In a setting like this, a vast choice of à la carte pizzas is the order of the day, but you can also dine on classic dishes with a strong Italian flavour: saltimbocca alla romana, calzone, cheese ravioli, antipasti and other sure-fire favourites.
BAGATELLE
Read moreThis is a place steeped in history, that of the family of Serge Blanc-Collomb, owner and grandson of Hélène Collomb, who founded the restaurant in 1949. And you can feel it: in the period decor, which hasn't really changed, and in the menu. Here, French and Moroccan cuisine come together in a beautiful marriage. Depending on the mood of the day, you can enjoy veal liver with parsley or tongue in gribiche sauce, as well as tagine beldi or kefta.

TERRASSE LA MEDERSA
Read moreCooking like at home " because the dishes are never as good as prepared this way", says Younes, manager of the restaurant les Terrasses de la medersa.

LA TABLE DU MARCHÉ

On the plate, Moroccan recipes range from classic pastillas and tajines to trid, a typical dish little known to tourists.
