  • LA FOUNTAINE DES ESPICES

    A vibrant place in the medina.

    If you’re looking for an authentic place to eat in the medina, try La Fountaine des Espices.

    I stumbled across this place one evening, and I have to say I was rather impressed.

    The service was very good, the food was incredibly tasty and the decor was elegant with a boho vibe.

    I visited a few times because I thoroughly enjoyed the food.

    They have a nice rooftop, and the waiters were so friendly and helpful, I was made to feel really welcome.

    The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food, and the whole experience was excellent.

    They serve traditional Morroccan food, and you get an authentic feel for morroccan culture.

    I highly recommend their smoothies.

    My daughter and I chose the detox smoothie with apple, green lemon, celery, cucumber, and turmeric.

    There are plenty of choices on the menu, and they were beautifully made and exceptionally healthy.

    For my meal, I opted for the vegetable tagine, and it was cooked to perfection.

    The service was relatively quick, and the waiters were attentive, making sure we were happy with our meal.

    My daughter tried the chicken pastilla and loved it. She said the chicken was tender, and the portion was a decent size.

    Fountaine des Espices is a great little spot if you’re looking for a good quality meal in a nice environment with highly competitive prices.

    It’s particularly nice during the evening with candles lit on the tables, giving a nice romantic ambience whilst your dining.

    They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

    You can also relax on the rooftop with a drink in the sunshine.

  • PIKALA CAFE

    A Healthy Cafe For Cycling Enthusiasts.

    It’s a nice place to relax
    Detoxifying smoothies

    What a great little spot Pikala Cafe is.

    I stumbled across it quite by accident on the way to another place.

    It’s a quirky little spot which puts health above all else.

    You can hire a bicycle here to cycle around Marrakech and the rates are pretty reasonable if you have the guts to do it.

    The breakfasts are deliciously healthy, and they do an assortment of light snacks and smoothies, too.

    The place itself is very pretty, with lots of little nooks to sit in either upstairs or down.

    It is an open-air cafe, but since Marrakech doesn’t get too much rainfall, it isn’t generally a problem.

    I had a wonderful detox smoothie, and it was absolutely invigorating.

    I felt refreshed and ready for anything afterwards.

    My daughter had a bowl of lentil soup, which she said was really tasty, and the bread was nice and fresh also.

    The freshly made lemonade was very zesty and slightly bitter to my taste, but it seemed to be quite popular.

    Pikola Cafe attracts a lot of fitness enthusiasts and is a really cool place to hang out.

    Like everywhere else in Marrakech, the ingredients are always fresh and the quality of the food and drink is exceptional.

    If you’re just looking for a light bite to eat or simply a nice place to rest for a while, Pikala Cafe is definitely worth checking out..
