  • 5/5 André M. 5 months ago on Google • 443 reviews
    We came here during an excursion, restaurant suggested by our guide, and we were very satisfied with his choice. The restaurant is a bit hidden, so I don't know if we would have found it by ourselves, but it's very nice inside: lush interior garden, nice decoration and it was clean and quiet. We ate the chicken tagine, and it was good, and also the cheese briouates and the pastries. We felt, though, that this was a restaurant mainly for tourists as we didn't see any locals here. So, not very authentic, maybe, and tailored for foreigners, but we still enjoyed our meal. Also, you can pay with your Visa card, which was great as we had to save some of our local currency for tipping, and the service fee is already included (8%). The staff was very friendly.

    I would rate it 5, but the food quantity and the price they charge you with are a bit insane. Besides, it's very clean spot with European style and atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and really helpful any time you need them. So recommended if you are looking for a luxurious experience, but be aware of the price.

    Food was very good and the atmosphere is upscale. Service was good once prompted by the 8% service charge is automatically added to your bill. This might explain why the waiters and waitresses where gathered in groups talking to each other. We had to get up from our table to get service twice. That did feel right as the restaurant was not busy. I still think it should be on your short list for lunch or dinner.

    We had a nice dinner at Le Jardin but two of the meat dishes we requested were cooked to the wrong temperature, one well over and the other well under. The tenderloin steak, overcooked, was still tender and enjoyable, but the hamburger, almost raw, was just not edible. Another, slow cooked, lamb dish was quite good. The restaurant setting with candle light and multiple levels of tables around a garden courtyard is what made the evening enjoyable.

    A nice restaurant with ample Moroccan options available. Seating is spacious and there is a plenty of shade from the heat. Restaurant is modern with a gallery/art showroom across the alley. Service is a bit hit and miss - there are some lovely staff who were very friendly but some which didn't speak much (although, assumed there is a language barrier). We enjoyed fresh fruit juices, entrees as well as dips including hommus which was nice and a few mains including tagine and a chicken dish. We also ordered the fruit platter which was a bit disappointing but all other dishes were good. Would recommend - a hot place for tourists and if you're lucky, you may also enjoy the company of the turtles!

    Beautiful and relaxing location near the center of the city. Every dish was delicious and made with attention to the smallest details. Fancy place, so prices are a little higher respect to other touristic places but absolutely IN LINE what the offer. My congratulations to the chef and all the staff! Totally suggest to come here if you want the traditional Moroccan taste in a modern style!

    An intimate and relaxing garden setting is at the centre of this gorgeous venue. It certainly caters towards a more Western crowd, with the likes of hamburgers and French fries on the menu and largely English music throughout. Shame to say the food was average to good at best. The worse thing being the service. A long wait to be seated, for order to be taken, for plates to be cleared, for sides dishes to arrive. Be prepared to hail the waiter for the level of attention you should already be getting.

    Delicious food. We were four people and shared six starters. Tapas style. The chicken starter was total yum all great roasted carrots. Quinoa salad. Ice tea wonderful. The restaurant is an open courtyard with trees for shade.

    Beautiful oasis like restaurant in the heart of the Medina with good service. It's a fusion of European and Moroccon food. I ordered the chicken tajine and shakshouka with cous cous and everything was flavourful and beyond regular moroccon restaurant type dishes. I do however agree with the masses that given its a touristy spot, prices are a bit over the top for the quantity served. They have priced themselves too high.

    Excellent food & service. Incredible atmosphere, highly recommend! Also very good for vegan and vegetarian options, staff were happy to adjust the pasta & broccoli dish to make it vegan.

    Green surrounds. Plants and decoration. Lovely relaxing surrounds to regroup after shopping in the heat. Good selection of food and drink with great customer service. Can prebook or try your luck at a walk in. A hidden gem.

    Small portions and most dry chicken ever I tried, money wasting

    Absolutely amazing! We went at night and it felt like a real fairytale. Service is impecable, food is delicious, the setting is outstanding! A must in Marrakech! Get ready to get through a maze to find it, but just as any restaurant in the area. It is part of the magic (very well indicated with arrows and signs!- watch out for those in the busy street).

    Stopped for coffee and a snack as a break from exploring the souks. Service was quite good but we were served something different to what we ordered, still nice and good coffee! Beautiful surroundings, we sat on the very top rooftop. Lovely spot for a quiet break.

    Great place. Seating in the yard is amazing - lovely atmosphere. There’s more seating upstairs which is rather disappointing - it reminded of a food court in an Asian shopping mall. So if you plan to go there make sure you get a seat in the yard. Food is very tasty, except of the French fries. These were really dry. The portions are small; I would suggest getting some sides or starters with the main dish. Service is good. And the service fee of 8% will be added automatically to the bill. Great food and nice atmosphere at an above average price - would recommend !

    The place and the staff are quite nice, very relaxed in the middle of the soul. As food I will recommend the soup and the orange with cinnamon and mint. The couscous was not so tasty but I am not sure if it wasn't so well cooked or it's just the traditional way make it here in Morocco (this was my very first day here).

    What a gem this place is , carful not to hit your head on the door going in, reservations recommended it can get busy but place is big and accommodated us both times without, but definitely go, clean fresh creative food , lots of meat choices for you omnivores And tons of vegetarian choices that are delish . Indoor outdoor dining options in tranquil setting, English speaking friendly staff pay when you leave at front desk , I love this method cuz you can just get up and leave whenever you want and don’t have to wait to spot your waiter and then wait around for bill to be delivered.

    My tastebuds were disappointed. The service was okay and nothing to complain or praise about. The vibe of the restaurant is nice, the abundance of plants feels like you’re visiting a friend and enjoying lunch in their backyard. The hummus and lamb dish were nicely presented, but they lacked flavor. Everything seemed freshly made and the lamb was tender that paired well with the veggies. I probably would not recommend or go back because the meal was underwhelming and had way better tasting dishes.

  • 3/5 Ana F. 6 months ago on Google • 109 reviews
    We were really excited about this place as it looks like a fairytale! However the food really disappointed us 😔 The fish was very fresh, however both people that ordered it found quite a few big bones while eating and the amount of salt left us leaving very unhappy! :( there were areas with no salt and then areas where spoon fulls of the dish would feel like eating an entire spoon of pure salt. Hard to accept that! The tenderloin was very fat, getting the person eating to leave almost half of the piece in the plate. The plate of different grilled meats was flavorful, but the sauce had a harshly spicy taste. It would completely cover the flavors of the meat. The service staff was quite inexperienced, not knowing how to have minimum interaction. We were made to feel awkward.. The place looks wonderful, having a few areas of seating, on balconies on different levels. But the main garden is still the prettiest. The decor has been wonderfully selected and you can see that there was a great attention to detail put into it. Value for money? Not great!

  • 5/5 animesh g. 3 months ago on Google • 72 reviews New
    One of the best experiences in Marrakech. A very romantic and atmospheric place to have lunch or dinner. The staff is really helpful and professional. Everyone is very polite, kind and speaks great English. The food is amazing. Simply amazing. The sardines are lovely, the grilled rib steak is juicy, tasty and absolutely perfect. Ended the night with the lemon tart which is lovely. All in all a wonderful experience. I highly recommend eating here at night. Make a reservation in advance since it's a popular place. They

  • 3/5 ingrid o. 4 months ago on Google • 65 reviews
    the atmosphere is very nice and pretty. we came for dinner where the tables are all dimly lit with candles and we sat in the garden. the food didn’t meet expectations aside from the chicken pastilla which was very good. the grilled tenderloin was very rare and undercooked. two of the lamb chops were also very rare and looked raw which made it inedible. the crème brûlée also didn’t meet expectations, the sugar was charred and it was a thick hard consistency like cheese. overall it’s not worth the money or the meal.

  • 4/5 Flavia S. 2 months ago on Google • 65 reviews New
    Good place. The food is average and prices are high compared to other restaurants. We visited this place because we saw good reviews all over the internet which some of them were true. The portions very medium leaning to small. What made this experience good was the ambiance which was amazing, clean tables and clean bathrooms. Should you visit it? Maybe… If you are looking for a great ambiance not great food, then yes, but if you are looking for quality of food before ambiance then definitely no. One point worth mentioning that the place was big, hence, no waiting time for the tables. I don’t think I will be returning considering the other great options around the city, but it was a good experience.

  • 5/5 Federica M M. 6 months ago on Google • 48 reviews
    Beautiful calm space in the heart of the souk. This place is so special and beautifully curated. There's green bits of design everywhere you look and yet the atmosphere is very simple and relaxed. If a sunny day ask to avoid a table under the sun.

  • 5/5 Lux F. 4 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    Treated ourselves and what a treat. Not too pretentious, but a nice little luxury to have one evening. The vibe is right. The food is good. The candle lit ambiance is cozy. And the plants are refreshing.

  • 5/5 Stas P. 6 months ago on Google
    Well served, everything was good. Table with candle, some classic music on the background, place is a little low on the light. Our order was carrot hummus, pattatoes bavas, tajine schikschuka, and chefs burger. Burger was good, but lack some taste. Maybe they should add some more ingredients. It was friday, we didn’t had any reservation.

  • 3/5 Ella 3 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    I've been here twice, and unfortunately, the food didn't improve. On my first visit, my lamb was raw, but they replaced it with a new one. I ordered fish on my second visit; it was alright but nothing special. The appetizer, meatballs (forgot what it's called), was pretty cold. The place is cute, and the atmosphere is nice; it's just unfortunate that the food is meh.

  • 5/5 D c. 10 months ago on Google
    GLUTEN FREE options! Staff are very accommodating and are happy to explain allergens or cater for dietary requirements. Tried beef tagine, and also Lamb shoulder. Very Very delicious. Very nice calm atmosphere, would definitely recommend on your visit to Marrakech!

  • 4/5 HicTurbaEst 6 months ago on Google
    Cool atmosphere. The food isn’t cheap but generally priced quite fairly. The Moroccan dishes are by far the best and there is no alcohol served with an array of mocktails and juices offered instead.

  • 4/5 sonali f. 1 year ago on Google
    Came for a late lunch/early dinner - nice restaurant with a good vibe, trendy decor etc. Service was ok, the women staff had a little sass but food was served promptly so no real issues. We shared fries, patatas bravas, veggie tajine (vegan) and hummus. All the food was pretty tasty! Would recommend.

  • 4/5 gira a. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing, however the food is not the highlight. The hidden entrance to the lively greeneries inside is a great unveiling experience.

  • 3/5 Rie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall, you are paying extra to eat in the pretty garden with foreigners. (There were no locals when I went there) Food is really not bad or good. Their mocktail is refreshing, probably the best part of my experience here. Atmosphere is beautiful if you can sit in the first floor where you are surrounded by beautiful plants. But if you are like us, we were sat in the rooftop which is not as beautiful as the first floor. Service is slow.

  • 5/5 Rafhaan S. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant with excellent food, especially the beef. Very friendly and quick service and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a tourist spot though so it gets quite busy.

  • 4/5 Suliana 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant with lots of greenery. Excellent customer service. The staff were so kind when I ordered the creme brulee for my friend's bday. I wasn't expecting them to sing happy birthday in Moroccan & english😊 thanks so much! Food was good except the cous cous can be improved. Was a bit blant, not much flavour. I recommend the lentil salad and the cheese pastries (can't remember the name) for entree, was delicious!

  • 4/5 Jocell De L. 4 months ago on Google
    The place was really and staff are kind and friendly. The restaurant’s ambiance is really nice. The food is okay, about 150 MAD per meal. You can easily find this place.

  • 3/5 Jane H D. 8 months ago on Google
    Okay food and drinks. We ordered couscous with chicken and the chicken was too dry (breast). Shakshuka was good. Nice ambience and service, everything was clean. For Moroccan standards this is really premium, mostly tourists in the restaurant.

  • 4/5 Ali A. 8 months ago on Google
    Overall the atmosphere and vibe is relaxed and chill. The chicken quesadilla were okay, a bit cheesy with a lesser amount of chicken. The non-alcoholic drinks were amazing. The beetroot salad was great (recommended by staff a kind member). I would recommend a visit :)

  • 4/5 Krysy 6 months ago on Google
    A lovely, candlelit atmosphere sat up on the terrace. The service was good and it was nice to try a mixture of food. A particular highlight was the chickpea hummus with olive oil.

  • 5/5 Miranda “Mia” B. 2 years ago on Google
    The best dessert I've ever had in my life -- caramelized pear tart. Maybe it was the setting, maybe it was the exquisite dinner but the dessert was what I will always remember.

  • 4/5 Jennifer H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great cosy place for dinner. The food is pretty tasty. We especially loved the falafel salad and the pear tarte. Service is pretty slow though, so prepare to wait a little bit for your food. If you have a reservation they normally take you upstairs. We found the seating in the courtyard to be nicer though.

  • 5/5 Laura I. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place, the yard is very nice and the air is fresh. The food is great, the staff was nice and we didn’t wait long for our food to be served. I would say the place in expensive for the city average, but it’s a nice place.

  • 5/5 Riyo 2 years ago on Google
    Had this dish came with whole fish which was AMAZING

  • 4/5 Javier B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and starter. The food was good although quantities are relatively small. Really recommend their moctails. Service could be better.

  • 4/5 Charly De B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice (European) atmosphere and nice food. Try for sure the cheese brioutchas with confits tomatoes as a starter, very nice. The prices are expensive though (50euro for water, a starter and 2 main dishes).

  • 5/5 Dylan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food. Amazing to eat under the trees and bamboo with the song birds signing. Attentive and nice hospitality team. Good veggie options as well.

  • 5/5 gemma b. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely setting in the garden of a riad. Very intimate, and the food was very good. The lamb chops were very tasty. No alcohol.

  • 4/5 Melanie W. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place - loved all the green, food was okay. Pity there was a bit of misunderstanding in ordering so all the meals came together, starters and main course. It is recommended to make a reservation. It can get full really quickly and if you don’t have one they will standard put you on the roof or the other floors.

  • 4/5 Nandi 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious small plates and mezze to share with creative Mocktails. The appetizers were by far better than the main courses, I’d suggest stopping by for an fun evening with friends in the garden. Beautiful scenery and recluse form the city, well worth ordering a few drinks and plates to share while you linger here.

  • 3/5 S B. 2 years ago on Google
    Garden vibes, beautiful. It was raining on our visit, so unable to appreciate it fully. I had falalfal salad hummus and potatoes - it was good. The tagine did smell good but I don't personally enjoy tagine, although they were enjoyed. Lacked service, left waiting, it was cold. Low seats with low backs which I also don't enjoy as I am tall.

  • 4/5 Borja Samsó A. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant, even though they put us upstairs and we would have liked the more romantic ambience downstairs. The food is good but the prices get a bit out of hand, had a couple salads, an avocado toast and a tajin for 400dhm, around 40€. Nice place if you want a more european environment.

  • 5/5 Anca N. 2 years ago on Google
    Impressive, anyone visiting Marrakech must visit the gardens. While the tour itself doesn’t take long, the colours here are a feast to the eye

  • 5/5 Mine K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere, try to book your place in the garden - it is nicer than the rooftop!

  • 5/5 Sophia W. 1 year ago on Google
    We dined here for dinner with no reservation. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. After dining in a few cafes with untidy spaces we were grateful to pay slightly higher prices for a meal prepared in a clean kitchen with professional staff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner with a romantic atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Lauren 1 year ago on Google
    A great lunch spot in the heart of the medina. We went here a couple of times during our stay. The restaurant has 3 levels, so plenty of tables. The decor is beautiful, all green with many plants, so the ambiance was great. The menu offers a nice split of local and international food so caters to all tastes. The service is quick and friendly. I would recommend.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious dinner, and entirely enjoyable experience! One of the few restaurants we’ve seen employing female servers and staff - a welcome change to the restaurant scene! For dinner, we enjoyed a varied menu full of delightful flavors - and the ambience is fabulous as well. This should be called “the secret garden” rather than the actual one down the road.

  • 4/5 Jasmine M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant and friendly staff. The food was also very delicious. It was nice to be able to take a break from the all of the haggling. Definitely recommend booking a reservation because it seems to stay very busy. Hidden gem!

  • 3/5 C P. 1 year ago on Google
    a fancier restaurant in the area with a pretty courtyard on the first floor. the rooftop doesn’t have much of a view bc it’s not high enough to overlook the rest of the buildings so don’t count on the view at the top. the food is pretty decent but for what it is, it is quite overpriced. nice staff.

  • 5/5 Linda S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was definitely the best restaurant I visited in Marrakech. It's a little bit pricy, but worth it. The restaurant has 3 floors and is beautifully decorated. It serves traditional maroccain food. The appetizer was so delicious, I ordered sardines and guacamole on little bread slices. Steak and potatoes were also tasty and delicious. I recommend it!
