A traditional Hammam and Rooftop Cafe.
Over 400 years old and beautifully preserved and restored.
Les Bains Kenaria has been revived to become a sanctuary in the medina.
It still uses the ancient Moroccan tradition of heating the Hammam using the wood fired method.
Services include newly added thermal rooms, warm baths, cold baths, a jacuzzi style pool, and a massage.
Les Bains Kenaria is also a rooftop cafe, and this is where my experience here began.
I was lured in by the lush tropical plants that spoke to me from the intricately crafted doorway.
I made my way upstairs onto the pretty rooftop and was seated on a comfortable, colourful couch.
The staff were really friendly and courteous, and they helped me to choose a vegetarian option from the menu.
My food was one of the most delicious tagines I’d tried in Marrakech.
The fresh vegetables included fava beans and olives and tasted absolutely sumptuous.
I watched the sun setting as I tucked into my food, and I could hear the lively sounds of the souk below.
It was a lovely atmosphere, and I could watch everyday life taking place on the adjacent rooftops.
I chose a beet smoothie for the first time, and it was quite different from anything I’d had before.
The setting was peaceful despite it being in the busy medina, with tourists shopping in the street below.
I was able to enjoy my meal in a relaxed, stressfree manner, taking my time and not feeling rushed at all.
The food is traditional Morroccan cuisine, and prices are very competitive.
There is plenty of choice for lunch and dinner on the menu, and breakfast is also available.
The opening hours are;
9.00am until 8.00pm daily.
The address is;
Bain Maure, N 132,
Marrakech 40040, Morocco.
I will certainly be back to eat here again, and next time, I may even try a Hammam experience.
