Where Should You Go In Marrakech?

Hi everyone, I know we are all feeling the winter chill so I thought I would share with you all my favorite spots in the beautiful Marrakech. Many have requested this and I hope you enjoy it!

Breakfast

For a casual meal, I love the Argana overlooking the main square. It has a traditional feel to it.

Brunch

The brunch at La Mamounia on Sundays is an institution not to be missed. The Selman Hotel is also a wonderful destination on Sundays, where brunch is served in the restaurant Le Pavillon.

Lunch

Café de la Poste has a lovely colonial feel to it with delicious French food. Riad El Fenn is an amazing spot. It is a lovely arty boutique hotel. I suggest going to the top floor to have lunch. There is a great shop inside run by Paul Rowland, an ex-fashion man from NYC. Enjoy a great Sunday brunch at La Mamounia hotel where you can sit by the pool and enjoy! Or at Kasbah Tamadot which is Richard Branson’s hotel, 20 min away – but absolutely stunning. La Pause is an amazing, relaxing, and remote day trip. Check it out online for more of its features. Finally, I love La Terrasse des Épices, where you will find a full restaurant with traditional selections or a pastry shop if you are on the go.

Day Trips

I love going away for a day, either hiking in the mountains, or to the Agafay Desert. The Agafay desert is close to Marrakech and you can directly ring a camp to organise Camel Rides, Mountain biking or Quand

Dinner

For Moroccan-style food, Dar Yacout gives you the full cultural experience. It is set in a riad where they play Andalous music and serve traditional food from Fez. I suggest that you have a light lunch if you are going there for dinner! There is also a Moroccan restaurant in the Royal Mansour Hotel, La Table Marocaine. The lamb as a main is exquisite! Bo Zin is the best for a fun night – a 20 min drive from the center. You will find dinner and dance with a diverse menu of Asian and French food. The food is quite good. Le Comptoir has belly dancers but is a bit touristy. The food is good nonetheless and it is fun!

Drinks

– Djellabar has magnificent decor and a trendy feel. – Bar at the Royal Mansour – beautiful, refined, and quiet. – Jad Mahal has a great nighttime feel with a small food menu. – At Le Comptoir they have a fun selection of cocktails. – Pre-drink in the gardens at la Mamounia Hotel is very pleasant.

Spa

I know this post is mostly about my favorite food and drink places in Marrakech but I also wanted to mention the wonderful spas I love. There’s one at the Royal Mansour. It is the best! With lots of specialty selections! The one at La Mamounia is beautiful too, with many ‘facial’ options. If you go to Marrakech, I am sure you will have a wonderful time.      Add to favorites
