In the creative district of Guéliz you will find PSC – a hidden gem behind a seemingly anonymous door. Ringing the bell is the key, your reservation the access code. Inside, an atmospheric mix of design and nostalgia unfolds. Housed in an old pétanque building from 1930, the interior has been given a touch of hipness: from velvet curtains and terrazzo floors to mirror balls, Art Deco furniture, and African tribal stools. In the green garden with a bar, mood lighting, and pétanque court, you can enjoy roasted cauliflower, BBQ meat, and zaalouk, perfect with a glass of rosé. PSC feels French-Mediterranean, but above all, cozy and relaxed. Petanque Social Club

You can also find this in Guéliz Farmers, a restaurant in a renovated Art Deco gallery, just outside the hustle and bustle of the city center. The concept revolves entirely around the farm-to-table philosophy, with the soul of the place at Sanctuary Slimane: a sustainable permaculture farm just outside Marrakech, where everything is grown organically and with respect for nature. What grows there goes straight to your plate.

Inside, the open kitchen creates an almost homey atmosphere, where you can see how seasonal products are used. The menu is pure and modern. Since opening in September 2024, it has grown into one of the city's favorites, so reservations are recommended. Farmers

“Moroccan cuisine by empowered women” – now that’s quite an entrance in the case of a (spoiler alert: insane) restaurant Sahbi SahbiThe restaurant was not without reason the talk of the town and has since earned its rightful place. We have been there ourselves now, and the place is just as impressive as promised. Great design, lovely vibe, and that food… They describe the menu as: recipes normally passed down from mother to daughter. And then with a modern twist. We like! Sahbi Sahbi

If there's one thing they do well in Morocco (okay, they can do much more, of course, but you get the idea) it's those unmatchable warm Moroccan interior design skills in every detail. And they carry them through in interiors that aren't necessarily imbued with all the usual Moroccan elements (and are therefore still unmistakably Moroccan – are you still following him?!). Well, that's exactly what they do so beautifully. Maison Sarayan, an interior design store with, and here it comes, a wonderful restaurant! Can we give you a tip? Go for lunch and order the lobster roll. Maison Sarayan

Every city has those places that, no matter what, are not to be missed, no matter how many times you have been there. In Marrakech that is without a doubt Le Jardin, in the middle of the Medina, the old city. Through a narrow door enter you experience the little piece of green divinity on earth and you are immediately completely isolated from the hustle and bustle outside – yes, it is possible. The menu features dishes from all over the world, all with a Moroccan twist. Salads, pasta and, of course, tagine. You can relax on one of the lounge sofas. Good to know: Le Jardin is just a few steps away Terrasse des Épices, a fantastic roof terrace – for pre- or post-drinks, for example. Le Jardin

Roof terrace restaurant Nomad in the heart of the medina of Marrakech is one of the few Marrakech darlings that does not belong to a hotel. Because gosh, it's so nice and delicious and sunny and relaxed and too photogenic to spend just two snaps on it. You have to get angry for a moment because you just walk past Nomad (a few times) and you don't want to ask for directions in the medina - before you know it you're walking ten laps behind a pushy Moroccan who doesn't know it either, but who you have to pay for his services. Find a spot around the bar where there are most of the shadow tables, or go one floor higher, or another. The menu features light, quite Western dishes, but all with a Moroccan base: mezzo, yoghurt dips, couscous and much more. Nomad

At Flowers, it is all about open-fire cooking where North African and Mediterranean flavors come together with a botanical twist, or so they explain at Flowers. The chef, Chef Richard McCormick, has an impressive resume and has gained experience in countries such as Scandinavia and Asia. This worldly experience may be true, but the menu is also simply a healthy dose of Morocco. And we love that, because we adore it. Dips, snacks, 'sweeties' (as they call them), and the staff meal can all be ordered from the menu. We think that's neat. In the mood for wine? There is wine. Flowers

Not even a year old and already one of Marrakech's new hotspots: MÖ-MÖ (pronounced meu-meu, indeed, like a cow). The MÖ-MÖ look is boldThink: color, prints, and an interior that feels almost Missoni-esque, but with a Moroccan twist.

With two terraces overlooking Djemaa el Fna, you are right in the middle of the action here – perfect for a break during an intense shopping spree through the souks, whether you come for lunch or dinner. The menu features many plant-based options, alongside reinvented classics like kofta and tajine. No alcohol, but good mocktails. MÖ-MÖ

The Little Cornichon: a French-looking restaurant where both the decor and the menu lean on the French, naturally (and quite obviously in this list) with a Moroccan touchThis is reflected in the dishes on the menu and in the atmosphere of the decor. The food is refined, with an eye for detail: a true bistronomic restaurantAnd that has not gone unnoticed, as this year they secured a spot (number 21) on the list of MENA's Best 50 Restaurants. So this is not a quick bite, but a real night out. Not entirely unimportant: there is also a magnificent wine collection. The Little Pickle

The light colors, being outdoors, the effortless organic, healthy, no-fuss atmosphere. A sacred place for vegans. The ticket is limited, though. Family It was once just a riad, but is now a restaurant in a beautiful garden that is open for daily changing, fresh organic meals. Good to know: especially go to La Famille for lunch, because a quick snack or cake with juice is not really the intention here. And while you're there, don't miss the shop. Handsome guy who comes out empty handed.

Small critical sidenote: the last time we were here, the food was still just as good. The charm had a rough edge; as far as we are concerned, it could use a tad more love, and La Famille will be completely its old self again. We will be testing it again soon. Family

1112 is a modern tea house located in a historic riad in the medina of Marrakech. It is conceived as an experience centered on Moroccan tea culture, featuring 12 teas from 12 regions of the country. Not a standard tea break, then, but a concept that takes you on a journey through flavors, stories, and regions, each with its own unique origins through fragrant blends and infusions. Some even call it Marrakech's first conceptual tea house, where you learn, observe, and understand a little alongside the tea. A peaceful, almost museum-like break right in the middle of the medina.

If you haven't seen enough yet: another beautiful terrace in Medina, but one that won't disappoint you! We're talking about L'mida where you can have a delicious lunch, but where you can also watch the sunset in the evening. We cook with fresh and local products and the menu varies per season, inspired by Moroccan cuisine, but with its own touch. Enjoy already. L'mida

From the makers of L'mida is there too MizanThink: terracotta, earth tones, and everything that makes Marrakech so wonderfully warm. Inspired by the city's history, such as the architecture and even ancient rock carvings, this is a place built with traditional materials. But with a contemporary interpretation.

You can come here all day long. In the evening, pull up a chair for a cocktail in this cool bar. And just one more. And another. Okay. That was the last one. Mizan
