| Where to Eat |
|
|

232 Avenue Mohammed V, Gueliz (00 212 44 434 060).
Home cooking in the new-born district of Gueliz, lovingly
prepared by an all-female team. |

|
|
CAFÉ ARABE
184 rue Mouassine (00 212 44 42 97 28). Opened at the beginning
of 2004, Café Arabe is the first proper café
in the sinuous alleys of the Medina. It fills most of an old
traditional-style house, with seating beneath the orange trees
in the courtyard and in a couple of colourful adjacent salons.
It serves Italian food (the café's owners are from
Rome) and a lengthy menu of traditional, Moroccan and fruit
teas, plus juices, a buffet of salads and pastas, and a selection
of own-made quiches, tarts and pastries. There's simply nowhere
else in Marrakech that does anything like this. Even better,
the premises also include a snug little bruised-pink bar and
a canvas-shaded, cushion-strewn terrace with views over the
city rooftops which are themselves intoxicating. |

|
|
JAD MAHAL
Fontaine de la Mamounia (00 212 44 436984). This is a complex
of bar, restaurant and dance space beside the roundabout just
over the way from the Mamounia. Take in the outrageous folie
de grandeur of this contemporary orientalist fantasy. The
newest and hippest addition to Marrakech nightlife. |
| |
|
|
LE COMPTOIR
Avenue Echouhada, Hivernage (00 212 4443 7702). For post-dinner
drinks on a Saturday night, le tout Marrakech decamps to Le
Comptoir for funky music in a gorgeous setting, respkendent
with black and red tadlekt walls and a slinky grand staircase
littered with pink rose petals. Well-heeled Marrakech comes
out to play, with expensive drinks and ritzy clientele. Interesting
as an experience of modern Morocco at its most Westernised
and fashion-conscious. |
| |
|
|
LE TEATRO
Hotel Es Saadi, Ave Wl Quadissia (00 212 4444 8811). Marrakech's
trendiest disco which turns out the most jaw-droppingly fabulous
of the lot. |
