    Very trendy, cosy interior.  Fast service, wide range of food.  You should arrive at 7 p.m. (as they open), otherwise you have the wait 20-25 minutes for a free table! We loved of dishes, courses.  Very good price/value ratio! 😎🤑

    Yet another well deserved 5 star review. The entire experience of a meal here is excellent, went twice and would have gone again if I didn't have to leave Marrakech. Best tajine I've had yet in Morocco plus friendly service. Merci...

    A fancy tiny restaurant which is very close to the heart of the city of Marrakech. The food is beyond delicious and everything is clean from their hands so no worries. Prices are reasonable compared to the service and quality food you get. So recommended 👌

    Delicious food, plenty of choice both Local or from abroad. Staff promptly welcoming us. We had lunch and even though the place was very busy everything ran smoothly. Many place in the area do not accept card for payments so be prepared with cash.

    Cute decorations with pink theme. Food is ok, quite good but nothing special. They offer a free small strawberry smoothie which tastes delicious.

    Incredible place! Very friendly staff, delicious meals, cosy environment and affordable prices. I was even invited for dessert. Highly recommend!

    There is no need for a front man at this place, the food speaks for itself. Sitting just off the main square, this small restaurant does great Moroccan food (as well as some alternatives for those that have had their Fill of tagine). The place is quite busy, but well worth the wait if you need to.

    Mixed salad was good. Chicken tagine, generous amount of meat, was not to my taste. They have limited inside seats and we sat outside, slightly chilly night. Even the burger was not very exciting.

    Les Cantine Gazelles charms with its inviting ambience and a diverse menu blending flavours creatively. From savoury starters to decadent desserts, the dining experience is memorable. While slightly on the pricier side, the quality justifies the cost, making it a standout choice for food enthusiasts. The best restaurant in Marrakech! 🇲🇦🇲🇦

    Suddenly found this restaurant while walking ! I don’t know why Google didn’t show it to me before although reviews are so good and very affordable price. I tried chicken tajine and I must say the best chicken tajine I ever ate. Although I would like to have some vegetables beside. This tajine had only olive in it. Taste was from heaven! Their free mixed fruit juice was very tasteful. I went 2nd time & they were flexible to adjust Tajine menu like adding vegetables in it & removing prune. Great experience! One suggestion for them would be to add a side sauce for the chicken skewer with yogurt & mint or sauce poivre!

    Just finished my meal and wanted to say it was the best I have had in Marrakesh so far. My chicken and veg tagine with prunes and apricots was amazing, and the portion size was big compared to others - with a generous amount of chicken. Price was great for what I received. I would definitely come back!

    We had the Gazelles Tagine, Orange with Cinnamon and of course, Mint Tea. They were all fantastic and good value. I recommend eating here than the other fancier restaurants. Come at 7pm when they open so you get a table as they are pretty popular.

  • 5/5 Selina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best restaurant we were in Marrakesch in 4 days...the starters as well as the tajines the best ones we had! Very friendly waiters, you should reserve because this restaurant is good booked in the evening. Cheap prices , fresh ingredients, and huge portions in comparison to other restaurants.

  • 5/5 Mihaela B. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely food and place to eat, fast service, and lovely staff. The place is quite busy, we were lucky to get a table. Highly recommended 👌

  • 5/5 John C. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely food, lovely management. I've visited this place numerous times over the years, I've been my last 4 visits. Have tried lots of other places but will always return here.. more recently with my eldest son. Fruit juices.. banana and orange.. really nice. Great coffee and of course food. See you next year!

    Süsses kleines Restaurant, nettes Personal und super leckeres Essen. Haben nix zu meckern gehabt und sind satt geworden, Preisleistung ist okay. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

  • 5/5 Rachel G. 6 months ago on Google
    Perfect first dinner in Marrakech, so glad we came across this place. Lovely, genuine service, great food, easy location and really well priced. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for some Moroccan food. All Tagines are delicious.

  • 3/5 Sergi V. 4 months ago on Google
    The food is ok, the service is not the best (I ordered one dish and they brought me another one). The price is too high, there are other restaurants with the same or better quality and cheaper.

  • 3/5 Huge R. 1 year ago on Google
    3.5 stars. 3 floors that offer a nice spot for us tourist to watch the market below. Food and drink was fine but nothing memorable. tried the beef and also tuna sandwiches. Gets very busy.

  • 5/5 lawyer.traveler.dreamer 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious and at a very affordable price. It’s super close to the market and yet in a quiet and safe location.

  • 5/5 Pedro Sá M. 1 year ago on Google
    Located in the souks area on a tucked away street full of carachter, this restaurant has a short menu with incredible prices, the food was cooked to perfection and super tasty, good drinks list (non-alcoholic). The waiters and owner are super friendly. The place is packed but is quick to get a table. 2 tagines, 2 drinks end up in 190MAD (£15). Cute decorations, defo a place opened by a French expat, upt to standards.

    Best tajine I've had in Marrakech. Flavor profile of their Tajine Gazelle with plums and apricots is a better sweet/salty balance than the olives most restaurants use. Plus the almonds add a delicious texture contrast.

  • 5/5 Ieva V. 4 months ago on Google
    Very delicious food, big portions and reasonable prices! Also, great service :)

  • 5/5 Neil T. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Terrific little resteraunt not far from the busy square and souks. Food was well prepared and not the same basic tagine offered by so many places. Portions were generous. It was very busy at 8.30pm, so suggest booking ahead or you may have to wait.

  • 5/5 Mirko T. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Tajine with Chicken, Lemon and Olives which I had during my Moroccan experience. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Piotr S. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to have local experience do not hesitate to visit. In can get hot inside on the 1st level.

  • 5/5 Rick J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants I've been to in Marrakech. Big portions and friendly staff. You'll see me back soon.

  • 5/5 Caroline H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great atmosphere, great service. The tagine de gazelles was one of the best we had in Morocco.

  • 4/5 Alana S. 2 years ago on Google
    The avocado salad was very fresh! Came with tomato and onion end was a good portion. My friend ordered a calzone and it was just a pizza. They gave us free samples of one of their juices/smoothies.

  • 5/5 Ronnie B. 4 years ago on Google
    Best meal I had in my week in Morocco. Bustling helpful staff with what seems to be a designated person for each language. I went with the three course menu and each was great. When the Nutella crepe was the weakest part of the meal I think that's saying something. Left stuffed.

  • 5/5 Silvia G. 4 years ago on Google
    A fusion of maroccoan and french cuisine. Service is a bit slow (also because the place is always full) but food is really delicious! Portions are big and great value for money. Highly recommended! (The savoury crepes was amazing!!)

  • 5/5 Nicolas B. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant. Very affordable and the staff is super friendly. One of the best couscous in town.

  • 4/5 Kat G. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent chicken Tanjine! Pizza was not as good.

  • 5/5 Paulo Sérgio P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Helga �. 2 years ago on Google
    The best tajine and fastest service in Marrakech

  • 5/5 S. K. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb, excellent food, great prices, friendly staff

  • 4/5 Kitto K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cozy restaurant with the menu little bit different. The dish is not too much salted as expected, very good, just the portion is too much that I could not finish by myself.

  • 5/5 Ausra Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, friendly staff, good food 👌😊 be aware of working hours, they have break during the day.

  • 5/5 Rachell J. 4 years ago on Google
    BEST RESTAURANT in MARRAKECH! The food is amazing,but in my opinion, the eggplant with cheese and sauteed chicken with cream and mushrooms are a MUST try! The staff is wonderful! They always treat you with a smile! If I come back to Marrakech I will definitely visit this place again! Also try the apple crumble!

  • 5/5 Gregor G. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and opened staff, good price for qualitative and really tasty food. A shot of fruit cocktail and olives as welcome snack. Totally recommend this place. Hopefully see you next time.

  • 5/5 Ramon B. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite restaurant in Marrakech. I have been in a 4-day trip in the city and this has been the best place where I found the most delicious cuisine. Plus they have the most friendly waiter in whole Morroco.

  • 4/5 Nikolai Vedeler A. 2 years ago on Google
    I reccomend their Tajine Gazelles! Prices are reasonable. Large portion! Pretty busy restaurant. You'll most likely need to reserve a table in advance if you want to eat dinner. This can be done by showing up an hour in advance and reserving a table.

  • 5/5 J L. 2 years ago on Google
    Unlike the other reviews saying it is slow service, our food were "boom boom" on the table. I did see at peak lunch hours, you tend to see a long queue outside so perhaps we came just after the peak hour in the afternoon. We had salad, aubergine bake, chicken tagine and chicken pastilla. Definitely recommend the tagine and chicken pastilla, very flavourful and meats are soft.

  • 4/5 Chuan Xin T. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff! The food was not exceptional but good enough. They were nice enough to provide a small drink each before we ate anything. The Moroccan pastry was quite nice as well

  • 5/5 Ramona A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great welcome with complimentary olives and juice. Lovely food, excellent service. It was also very sweet that they fed the stray cats.

  • 5/5 Mirza T. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food and very nice staff. Copious dishes and good juices. No need for hesitation, it's a no-brainer. Just go and enjoy the quality of the dishes! It was closed on Monday as Google says
