Selected entries from the current guide for Marrakech & Atlas Foothills Region.

La Grande Table Marocaine restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

La Grande Table Marocaine

La Grande Table Marocaine at Royal Mansour holds a place in the World's 50 Best Restaurants MENA 2024 (ranked 22nd) and earned 97 points on La Liste 2025, alongside a Les Grandes Tables du Monde award. Under executive chef Karim Ben Baba, the kitchen reframes Moroccan cooking around vegetables, aromatics, and slow-cooked proteins rather than the familiar procession of tagines and cooked salads that defines most of the city's fine dining.

Marrakech, Morocco
Sesamo restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Sesamo

Sesamo brings the Italian kitchen of Massimiliano Alajmo into the Royal Mansour, Marrakesh's most architecturally ambitious hotel. Chef Riccardo Barni works local Moroccan produce alongside imported Italian ingredients, framed by a dining room and sunset patio that rank among the medina-edge's most considered settings. La Liste places it at 89 points (2026), and it holds a Les Grandes Tables du Monde award and a World's 50 Best MENA ranking of #32 (2024).

Marrakech, Morocco
Farmers restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Farmers

Must-try dishes include the Seasonal Farm Vegetable Plate, Herb-Crusted Market Fish and Slow-Roasted Root Vegetables. Chef Driss Aloui sources produce directly from Sanctuary Slimane permaculture farm, pairs plates with natural wines, and runs an open kitchen for visible craft.

Marrakech, Morocco
Le Restaurant - La Maison Arabe restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Le Restaurant - La Maison Arabe

Set within a storied riad in Marrakesh's medina, Le Restaurant at La Maison Arabe has climbed from 76 to 81 points on La Liste's Top Restaurants ranking between 2025 and 2026, positioning it among the city's more recognised addresses for Moroccan fine dining. The address at 21 Derb Assehbi places it deep in the historic quarter, where the cooking draws from classical Moroccan tradition rather than reinterpreting it for an international audience.

Marrakech, Morocco
Farasha Farmhouse restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Farasha Farmhouse

Farasha Farmhouse-Mouton Noir sits at the intersection of Moroccan agricultural tradition and contemporary cooking, with Chef Aniss Meski bringing a farm-grounded sensibility to one of Marrakesh's more considered dining settings. The address places it outside the medina's concentrated restaurant strip, signalling an intention to draw guests rather than intercept them. For those tracing serious Moroccan cooking beyond the palace-dining circuit, it warrants attention.

Marrakech, Morocco
Amal Gueliz Center - Restaurant restaurant in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Amal Gueliz Center - Restaurant

Positioned in the Gueliz district, Marrakech's modern commercial quarter, Amal Gueliz Center Restaurant sits within one of the city's most active non-medina dining corridors. The area draws a local professional crowd and increasingly informed visitors who want Moroccan cooking without the medina markup. For context on what the kitchen produces and how it fits the broader Marrakech scene, the editorial below covers what you need to know.

Amanjena hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Amanjena

Aman's first African property, open since 2000 on the Route de Ouarzazate, translates Marrakesh's rose-city architecture into 40 rose-toned pavilions and maisons arranged around a central bassin. The design references rammed-earth pisé construction and Berber village forms, while dining spans Japanese and Mediterranean menus. Rates from $1,569 per night position it at the summit of the city's resort tier, where it holds the 2025 World Travel Award for Morocco's Leading Villa Resort.

Marrakech, Morocco
The Oberoi Marrakech hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

The Oberoi Marrakech

Set on 28 acres of Mediterranean orchards and olive groves along the Route d'Ouarzazate, The Oberoi Marrakech operates at a different scale and register than the city's riad tradition. Eighty-four suites and villas, three distinct restaurants, and an Ayurvedic spa compose a self-contained estate with Atlas Mountain views. La Liste awarded the property 95.5 points in its 2026 Top Hotels ranking; Morocco's Leading Luxury Hotel at the World Travel Awards 2025.

Marrakech, Morocco
Riad No. 37 hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Riad No. 37

An eight-room adults-only riad in Marrakesh's Dar El Bacha quarter, Riad No. 37 pairs the inside-out architecture of a traditional Moroccan courtyard house with a deliberately Scandinavian design sensibility. Its kitchen, shaped by New Nordic methodology applied to Moroccan ingredients, serves communal dinners that function more like private dinner parties than hotel meals. The result is a property that sits apart from both the grand palace hotels and the generic boutique riad market.

Marrakech, Morocco
Ksar Char-Bagh hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Ksar Char-Bagh

Set in the Palmeraie, Marrakesh's ancient palm-grove district fifteen minutes from the medina, Ksar Char-Bagh occupies a 25-suite mini-palace that draws on centuries of Moorish residential architecture. The suites, called Harims in reference to private palace apartments, combine open-plan proportions with spare contemporary furniture, private gardens, and fireplaces. It sits in a distinct tier of intimate riad-palace properties that prioritise seclusion over scale.

Marrakech, Morocco
Riad Tarabel hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Tarabel

A ten-room courtyard mansion in Marrakesh's Dar El Bacha quarter, Riad Tarabel sits at the intersection of Second Empire grandeur and medina intimacy. Awarded 91 points on La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking, it operates at a room rate of $592, positioning it well above entry-level riad accommodation. The design deliberately sidesteps regional cliché in favour of Victorian bathtubs, aristocratic French Colonial furnishings, and dinner served wherever the guest chooses.

Marrakech, Morocco
Riad Sakkan hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Sakkan

In the Mouassine quarter of Marrakesh's medina, Riad Sakkan takes the traditional courtyard-house format and runs it through a contemporary design filter: 12 rooms mixing vintage objects with modern art, a rooftop restaurant open from breakfast through dinner, and a sense of scale that keeps it closer to a private residence than a boutique hotel. Among medina riads, it occupies a distinct position between heritage formality and design-forward informality.

Marrakech, Morocco
Nobu Hotel Marrakech hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Nobu Hotel Marrakech

Nobu Hotel Marrakech sits at the intersection of two distinct design traditions, Moroccan craftsmanship and Japanese minimalism, within the city's Golden Triangle, a short walk from Djemaa el-Fna. The Nobu brand's global reputation for precision cooking translates here into a context shaped by riads, souks, and the medina's medieval street grid. For travellers weighing international-brand consistency against local character, this address offers both in a single building.

Marrakech, Morocco
Four Seasons Resort Marrakech hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech, Morocco

Four Seasons Resort Marrakech

Positioned on the edge of Hivernage, Marrakesh's most prestigious residential quarter, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech sits a ten-minute drive from the medina and scores 90 points on the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 ranking. The 139-room property delivers the brand's characteristic breadth of facilities, from a 15-treatment-room spa to a dedicated cultural centre hosting Moroccan craft workshops, all within grounds designed in medina architectural style.
