14 restaurants in Marrakech, editor-picked for restaurants open sunday. Where to eat a sit-down dinner on sunday. All restaurants in Marrakech.
gueliz · 55 Boulevard Mohammed Zerktouni, Gueliz, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Wed-Mon 12:30-14:30, 19:00-23:00; closed Tuesday
Run entirely by women since 1987, Al Fassia in Marrakech's Gueliz cooks the refined Fassi (Fez) repertoire under chef Saida Chab, daily lunch and dinner.
Tip: Order tagines a la carte rather than the set menu; the kitchen's strength is single-dish patience, not coursing.
medina · 1 Derb Aarjane, Rahba Lakdima, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 12:00-23:00
Kamal Laftimi's four-floor rooftop on Marrakech's spice square Rahba Kedima, modern Moroccan plates served above the souk action since 2014.
Tip: Reserve the rooftop terrace for sunset; the second-floor non-smoking salon is the calmer pick on a hot afternoon.
medina · 55 Rue du Souk des Fassis, Kat Bennahid, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Mon-Tue 19:00-00:00; Thu-Sun 19:00-00:00; closed Wednesday
A converted caravanserai near Bab Doukkala, Marrakech's Le Foundouk has plated Moroccan and Mediterranean tasting menus on its rooftop since 2002.
Tip: Closed Wednesdays. The covered rooftop has Atlas views in winter when most other rooms close their open terraces.
medina · 78 Bis Derb Nkhel, Rahba Kdima, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 12:00-23:30
L'Mida sits two levels above Rahba Kedima in Marrakech, plating modern Moroccan fusion with rooftop Atlas views and a strict no-alcohol policy.
Tip: No alcohol, but the house mocktails (rose-cardamom, cucumber-mint) are worth the order.
gueliz · 15 Rue Qadi Ayad, Residence El Mirador, El Harti, Gueliz, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Tue-Sun 12:30-15:00, 19:30-23:00; closed Monday
Dameh in Marrakech's Gueliz plates a Mediterranean menu spanning Morocco to Lebanon, Spain and Greece, in a sleek modern dining room near El Harti park.
Tip: Date-night room sized for 20 covers; book at least a week ahead in winter peak. Closed Mondays.
medina · 84 Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 12:30-22:30
Naranj on Riad Zitoun el Jdid is the Marrakech medina Lebanese spot: a Lebanese-Syrian husband-and-wife team plate mezze and grills on a rooftop terrace.
Tip: The rooftop seats half the dining room; in cooler months the covered courtyard below is the calmer choice.
medina · 32 Souk Jeld Sidi Abdelaziz, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 10:00-23:00
Kamal Laftimi's emerald-green oasis hidden in the Marrakech souks, Le Jardin plates Moroccan classics and bistro food in a 16th-century riad.
Tip: Reservations don't take; arrive before 13:00 for lunch or you wait. Chameleons live in the lemon trees.
hivernage · Avenue Echouhada, Hivernage, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 19:00-01:00
Le Comptoir Darna has anchored Marrakech's Hivernage nightlife since 1999, plating Moroccan-Mediterranean in a 1930s Art Deco villa with two nightly shows.
Tip: Two shows nightly at 21:30 and 23:20; book the earlier seating for dinner timing.
medina · 17 Derb Cherkaoui, Douar Graoua, Medina, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Tue-Sun 13:00-16:00, 18:00-23:30; closed Monday
Pepe Nero plates Italian-Moroccan dual menus in the courtyard of Riyad Al Moussika, a former pasha's palace five minutes from Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fna.
Tip: Closed Sundays. Reserve courtyard seating; the indoor salon is the rainy-night fallback.
medina · 40 Rue des Banques, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 11:00-02:00
Le Salama rises three floors off Rue des Banques in Marrakech's medina: colonial library downstairs, belly-dance dining mid-floor, panoramic Sky Bar above.
Tip: Save the rooftop for last; the climb from ground floor to Sky Bar is half the night out.
gueliz · Rue de Yougoslavie, cote Boulevard Hassan II, Gueliz, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 19:30-00:30
Azar in Marrakech's Gueliz blends Lebanese mezze and grills with Moroccan plates; live oriental dance and shisha bar after 21:00, 20-plus years running.
Tip: Children under 5 not admitted. Book a banquette away from the dance floor if you want quieter conversation.
medina · 184 Rue Mouassine, Medina, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 11:00-00:00
Cafe Arabe on Rue Mouassine has plated Italian-Moroccan fusion in Marrakech's medina for over 20 years; a rare alcohol-licensed rooftop near the Koutoubia.
Tip: The downstairs courtyard is mister-cooled in summer; the rooftop is best at sunset for the Koutoubia silhouette.
gueliz · Corner Boulevard El Mansour Eddahbi et Avenue Imam Malik, Gueliz, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 09:00-01:00
Marrakech's Grand Cafe de la Poste occupies the 1920s post office in Gueliz, plating French brasserie classics under colonial-era ceiling fans since 2005.
Tip: The bar is open until 01:00 and serves the same kitchen menu late; the city's most reliable late dinner outside Hivernage.
bab-doukkala · 186 Rue El Gza, Arset Lhiri, Bab Doukkala, Marrakech 40000
Hours: Daily 19:00-23:00
Latitude 31 near Marrakech's Bab Doukkala gate serves revisited Moroccan in an orange-tree courtyard, a quieter alternative to the souk-side rooftops.
Tip: The dining room is in an inner courtyard; ask for a courtyard table over the interior salon.
