Best food you will have in Marrakesh. Hands down. Yousef is the waiter we had two times and he was amazing both times. Do yourself a favor and don’t skip this place.
Lovely place with charming service and great value food. Simple, generous and tasty.
This is the best experience you can have in Marrakech's authentic food scene.The hospitality warmth with the high quality service makes you really live the cultural vibes the right way. Plus the quality is mesmerizing, a very richful and unique taste.
Only customers here which is never a good sign but the food was first class.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was impeccable. There was nice music and the waiters were very friendly, though compared to other restaurants in the area it was quite expensive. I loved my time eating at this restaurant!
Admittedly, I was a bit worried at first as this looks like a touristic restaurant with all its perks. I was pleasantly surprised to find an over eager waiter who was very friendly and food that was actually very tasty. It was the first time in 9 days that my son had finished his dish wanting more. Fresh watermelon for dessert for 120 dirham per person is actually a very good price considering the air conditioned place in the middle of Marrakech next to the palace. Recommended.
If you order a menu here, you will definitely get your money's worth. A menu was enough for two, because the portion was quite big. It starts with a delicious salad in the style of the house. Then a good selection of typical main courses. Fresh fruits followed and of course Moroccan whiskey (mint tea) as often as you wanted. The food was enjoyed in a cosy atmosphere with a great view of the Place des Ferblantiers and the Palais El Badia with its storks. We especially liked the service. The waiters were attentive, nice and entertaining.
A great place to catch a bite to eat when you are done visiting the neighbouring palace. The wait staff are excellent. They spoke very good English and French. The menu can also be found in various languages. Most of all, the food was great meeting I would eat there again.
