About
Dar Zellij, a fine dining establishment in the heart of Marrakesh, offers sublime Moroccan cuisine in a beautiful and romantic setting. The interior design of this 16th-century palace is breathtaking, with an open courtyard and stunning mosaic decorations. While it may be pricier than most places in the city, it is on par with European standards and won't break the bank. This is the perfect place for a special occasion or a slightly fancier dinner while on holiday. The service at Dar Zellij is impeccable, with friendly and accommodating staff dressed in traditional white tunics. Guests can enjoy an aperitif on the rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Medina before heading down to their table in the restaurant. Live music adds to the magical atmosphere of the place. The menu features a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options, such as the Mosaic Salad and Briouats (Moroccan pastries filled with meat or vegetables). For mains, guests can try the Lamb Couscous or the Beef Shin Tagine with Prunes and Almonds. The Saffron Crème Brûlée and Orange with Cinnamon are popular dessert choices. There is also a selection of soft drinks, cocktails, and wines to choose from. While the location can be a bit tricky to find on foot, the establishment offers a pickup and drop-off service from nearby Riads. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, perfect for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. Outdoor seating is available on the rooftop terrace, and there is a bar for pre-dinner drinks. Overall, Dar Zellij is a must-visit eatery in Marrakesh for those looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of delicious food, stunning interior design, and exceptional service makes it a standout fine dining spot in the city.
