Best Restaurants in Marrakech (2026)

Eating well is one of the great pleasures of Marrakech, and the city's restaurants cover every budget. At the simplest end, Chez Lamine Hadj Mustapha on mechoui alley sells slow-roasted lamb by weight, and the non-profit Amal Gueliz Center serves home-style lunches cooked by women in training, with couscous every Friday. For classic Moroccan cooking in a calm setting, Al Fassia Guéliz, run by an all-female team, is a long-standing favourite.

In the medina, Nomad offers modern Moroccan dishes on terraces above the spice square, and Naranj brings Lebanese mezze to Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid. Café Arabe and Terrasse des Épices combine meals with roof terraces and drinks, while Le Foundouk serves dinner in a restored merchants' inn. For a special night, Dar Yacout and Le Marocain at La Mamounia provide traditional multi-course dining in grand surroundings. Book ahead for dinner, especially for terrace tables at sunset, and note that only some medina restaurants serve alcohol. Many places in the old city are hard to find after dark, so ask how to reach the door when you reserve.
