Marrakchi restaurant glows a deep red across the square.

This popular place facing Jamaa El Fna is a fine dining experience in tastefully decorated surroundings situated on,

52 Rue des Banques, Av.

Jamaa El Fna

40000 Morocco

Inside the restaurant, the feeling is intimate with dim lighting as candles flicker on the tables, giving a warm, cosy glow.

It’s a busy restaurant  attracting a lot of tourists as it’s one of the few places selling alcohol in the square.

It’s a family-friendly establishment and has plenty of food choices, including vegetarian and vegan options available.

The vibe inside the restaurant is very relaxing despite it being a relatively busy place, constantly buzzing with energy.

Outside, the walls take on a wonderful, red glow, which is very atmospheric and can be seen from across the square.

The food is very good.

I especially enjoyed the tagine that was accompanied by a spicy, Harissa sauce.

The staff are attentive, friendly, and professional.

The decor is traditionally Morroccan, with pretty lamps and comfortable, deep red couches along the windows overlooking the main square. There is also intricate tilework on some of the walls

Le Marrakchi serves cocktails, and you are welcome to just visit for drinks.

Prices are competitive for a licenced restaurant close to Jamaa El Fna.

I went back several times because the vibe was very pleasant, and I enjoyed listening to the sounds of Jamaa El Fna outside the windows and the call to prayer.

I didn’t feel rushed despite the fact that the restaurant was busy and people were coming and going throughout the evening.

It was a relaxed, dining experience.

There is a good selection of dishes on the menu, such as couscous, which is traditionally served on Fridays in Marrakesh.

The bathroom facilities were excellent and fragrantly scented with orange blossom. .

There are a few steps to climb to get into the restaurant, so it’s probably not ideal for people with mobility issues.

Opening hours are 12.00-12.00am daily.

They also offer a takeaway service.
