LIST OF RESTAURANTS AND SIGHTS

​

Restaurants and More  :

​*All Marrakech addresses

• Le Salama, 40 Rue des Banques (beautiful open air rooftop bar)

• AirBnB - we stayed at an Airbnb in a traditional riad called Riad Miliana

• La table de la kasbah, 14 derb hajra kasbah (amazing rooftop restaurant with a stunning view and delicious food) 

• Palais Jad Mahal, Rue Haroun Errachid (restaurant with belly dancing). Great show with dancing and a magical atmoshpere. Only downside is it was so dark you could not see your food! 

• Le Jardin, L32 Souk Jeld Sidi Abdelaziz (outdoor courtyard restaurant with traditional Moroccan dishes, very nice!)

• Comptoir Darna, Avenue Echouhada (more belly dancing and dinner). This restaurant was very nice as well, but I would not recommend doing two of these kinds of restaurants more than once in a span of a week. 

• Jamaa El Fna Square (food stalls within the square) A must-do experience that you have to see to believe. Hundreds of food stalls and sales people clammoring to get you to eat their food! 

• Café des Epices, 75 Derb Rahba Lakdima (modern and fresh restaurant that is great for lunch). A welcomed break from all the heavy tajines and couscous. 

• Streetfood in the winding alleys of the city - we tried pastillas, beans, roasted chicken with lemon, fresh pita, merguez sausage, and chicken kebab

• Café Kif Kif, 28 rue koutoubia (another rooftop restaurant in the city with a view of the tower at Koutoubia mosque)

​
