Palais Dar Donab.

A beautiful, peaceful environment serving authentic Morroccon food.

Palais Dar Donab is a special treat for visitors to Marrakech.

The scent of orange blossom fills the air, and the sound of birds chirping in the courtyard gives a sense of complete peace and tranquillity whilst dining here.

This was one of my favourite places to visit and I absolutely love it here.

I keep going back time and time again.

Sometimes, it is for a glass of wine during the afternoon and a welcome break from sightseeing.

It’s a place where you can unwind and enjoy the sunny courtyard with its large pool in the centre.

The menu is extensive with food to suit all palates.

They also serve a decent selection of excellent wines and beers.

I was really impressed with the quality of food and enjoyed each meal I have eaten in this fine restaurant.

The vegetable tagine was one of the tastiest I have tried in Marrakesh, and the delicious smoothies were beautifully presented and full of fresh, vibrant fruit.

Palais Dar Donab is also a high-end accommodation, where guests and visitors  mingle together for a quiet break from the busy medina.

As you relax in the calm, tranquil surroundings, you never feel rushed.

The pace is slow and calm.

The staff are attentive, and at the same time, they allow you to enjoy the lovely, peaceful setting without feeling any pressure to leave.

The gentle sound of the leaves on the trees and the trickling water make dining here a very pleasant experience.

Tangerines fall from the trees, and you can hear the birds singing happily.

Palais Dar Donab is open for lunch as well as dinner.

The tables are set around a large pool with citrus trees lining the courtyard.

Beautiful flowers add an array of colour.

Music is played subtly in the background, allowing conversation to flow and a nice laid-back atmosphere.

Relaxing for an hour or so admiring the intricate craftsmanship that surrounds you is a perfect way to recharge your batteries.

I highly recommend trying Palais Dar Donab, not just for the quality of the food or the friendly service, but for the peace and serenity it offers.

You come away feeling recharged and de-stressed after the overwhelming medina with crowds of tourists.

It’s a pleasant oasis in comparison to the over stimulating Jamaa El Fna.
