Le Petit Cornichon

Restaurant

😠 Very upsetting. The waiters were very attentive and nice, the place is beautiful but the food is really bad. It’s not average, it’s bad and not tasty. Pasta is over cooked, baba dessert is nothing but rum, impossible to eat, entrees are plane and boring. This place was recommended by many people but... People often mention lunch, nice, restaurant, menu, service, quality, staff,

    Very upsetting. The waiters were very attentive and nice, the place is beautiful but the food is really bad. It’s not average, it’s bad and not tasty. Pasta is over cooked, baba dessert is nothing but rum, impossible to eat, entrees are plane and boring. This place was recommended by many people but ended up a disappointment. Plus the prices are very high for the quality they serve (4 people check was 2210 dirham)

    Pretty disappointed with this restaurant. The price point is high and the quality doesn't really match. The food was good, but nothing special and not what I'd expect at this price. Portions were big though so one starter and two mains was too much for us. It seems there's a more affordable menu at lunch (based on Google photos) so would probably only come here for that.

    Really great restaurant--except for the smokers all around us-- very delicious beef and also a nice selection of Moroccan wines. Beautiful space! We were lucky enough to get in without a reservation, but I recommend you get one before going.

    🏆TOP TIP: the terrace feels as if you’re transported from Gueliz to St Tropez! Absolutely consider the menu of the day, excellent value with three courses for 180dhs. Delicious food and vibe. Will visit again. 🫶🏽💖

    Arrived here with my wife and two young sons. An hour and 15 minutes before closing time during lunch. They told us the kitchen was closed, however multiple other guests were enjoying their lunch that was obviously just served. When we asked them for just a quick bite as we were with two young children and the scorching temperatures outside, they were not willing to help us. One might think we were not ‘French’ enough. Horrible experience.

    Stop looking - this is THE BEST restaurant in Marrakech for so many reasons! Firstly, the decor is fresh, bright and comfortable. The feature wall in the front garden is creative and stunning which is similar to the dishes. Never ending breadbasket, super nice service and please have the octopus salad as your entree if you’re their for lunch. The waiter was even kind enough to help take a few photos for us

    The best restaurant that we have been to in Morocco so far. We started with the Spanish meats, and tarte tatin, followed by beef Wellingtons. All of the dishes were delicious and well priced. The service and ambience were exceptional as well.

    Really wonderful spot. Love the interior and the food & service are first class. We came for lunch and loved it so much came back the 2nd day. Had a few different local wines which were fantastic

    Better than bistro standard - tasty & plentiful food, albeit pricey with a menu heavily focusing on truffle. The major drawback to the venue (which has about 12 tables) is the fact that smoking is allowed inside - a real killer for those who want to savour the taste of food rather than being overwhelmed by fumes. What a shame the patron does not put his foot down & banish smokers to the tables outside.

    Great food, lovely staff and nice outside space!

    We had a fabulous meal here this evening. Service was impeccable, food was of a very high standard, and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend

    Best dinner we had in 5 nights in Marrakesh. The food wouldn’t be out of place at a quality Parisian restaurant. Delicious wines. Great service.

    Amazing staff, atmosphere and food. Enjoyed my time here during trip to Marrakesh. Highly recommend to all who visit the city!

  • 5/5 Václav P. 4 years ago on Google
    We have decided to visit this restaurant based on google reviews. I have to agree with them. It is a cosy place; nice interior! The menu is simple and contains 3 starters 3 desserts and 6 main dishes. The menu of starter main dish & dessert is 190MAD (two courses for 150MAD). A simple concept, fresh and delicious food and English-speaking staff!

    Great restaurant in Marrakech as you can see below, meals are perfectly settled, products are fresh. Starters are exquisite. Desserts are amazing. Service is excellent. You can have lunch and dinner there. And they do have a large selection of French wine.

  • 5/5 Bryan J H. 2 years ago on Google
    Wish I could give more than 5 stars. The food, atmosphere, and staff were incredible. We felt lucky to have found Le Petit Cornichon for our group of 11 friends.

  • 5/5 L T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. We ordered the ceviche with mango, fois gras and the set lunch. Definitely worth a visit. The only downside was smoking was allowed indoors so not great from that aspect.

    Superb food and service, highly recommended. Food is very special

  • 5/5 Farid B. 3 years ago on Google
    Food quality is generally very good. Staff are attentive and the owner-manager is a showman. Lots of sharing-dishes now on the menu, fun concept and enough variety to make it a regular haunt.
