Are
you ready for something less obvious?
Unlike
the ubiquitous Indian and Chinese dishes which have become the
modern 'diner' food with overpowering flavours and spices to match,
French Moroccan cooking is a slow art that that incorporates the
best of French and African traditions to produce sumptuous dishes
filled with subtle flavours.
All
the dishes at the Marrakech are prepared by hand with the finest
ingredients and freshly cooked by highly skilled Moroccan chefs
who take a real pride in providing all our guests with a unique
culinary experience.

| Mezze – Mezze
are the best part of a Moroccans meal, sampling a variety
of delicious food with different flavours and textures
is a wonderful way to eat. But the convivial aspect
of the tradition is equally important. Imagine a feast
featuring a half dozen Moroccan hors d’oeuvre:
Briouats, Merguez sausages, couscous salad, lamb bricks,
falafel and three different dips with flat bread. Hard
to resist! |

| Merguez
Sausages – what
amazes at the Marrakech is the smell of grilled Merguez
Sausages coming from the kitchen, the combination of the spices and minced lamb is just superb! Garlic, fennel seeds, harissa and cayenne pepper makes Merguez a starter not to miss. |
|
 |
| Chicken
Pastilla – Pastilla is one of the best
examples of what Moroccan cuisine can offer. Chicken,
almonds, saffron, cinnamon and quail’s egg combined
together in filo pastry called ‘warka’.
This dish normally takes three hours to make, usually
served at special occasions such as weddings and christenings…Let
us make it a special occasion for you! |

| Lamb
Couscous – what pasta is for Italians,
what rice is to Chinese, couscous is to the inhabitants
of the Meghreb, as the countries of Morocco, Algeria
and Tunisia are known collectively. In this part of
the world, it is not unusual for families to gather
around a streaming platter of couscous, topped with
vegetables, meat, and broth, at least once a week.
Let us serve you what we believe is the traditional
couscous. |

 |
| Lamb
Tagine – definitely a classical dish
to try!! The word ‘tagine’ derives from
the shallow round clay cooking pot with the pointed
lid which stews are traditionally cooked, when time
did not matter! Prime leg of lamb gently cooked in
olive oil, saffron, cinnamon, honey and bay leaves
served with prunes, almonds and toasted sesame. |
|
 |
| Crepe
Berberè – finishing of Moroccan
meal in a style means having crepe berberè as
a dessert. It’s a combination of Moroccan sweetness
and French savoury, normally served with toasted walnut,
lemon and honey dressing. |
