Best of Marrakech · 2026
Marrakech's dining scene is one of the most exciting in North Africa — a collision of Berber tradition, French technique, and modern creativity. But finding the restaurants that matter means looking past the tourist traps clustered around Jemaa el-Fna. The best tables in Marrakech are hidden in riads, perched on rooftops, or tucked into medina alleyways that Google Maps can barely find. We've tested every restaurant on this list personally — from hole-in-the-wall tagine joints to white-tablecloth palaces — and ranked them based on one criterion: would we send a friend here without hesitation? Every address below passed that test.
