Moroccan restaurants in Meknès

  1. A

    Restaurant Zitouna

    In the heart of the medina, this grand establishment offers the same palace restaurant style you'd find in Fès. Its ornate covered courtyard is done up with zellij and stucco, with several small salons for more restrained dining. Traditional Moroccan dishes are naturally the order of the day, with pastilla being something of a house speciality.

    Dar Sultana

    Also going under the name Sweet Sultana, this is a small but charming restaurant in a converted medina house. The tent canopy over the courtyard gives an intimate, even romantic, atmosphere, set off by walls painted with henna designs and bright fabrics. The spread of cooked Moroccan salads is a big highlight of the menu.

    Restaurant Oumnia

    This is less a formal restaurant than a few rooms of a family home converted into dining salons, and the emphasis here is on warm service and hearty Moroccan fare. There’s just a three-course set menu, but it’s a real winner, with delicious harira (lentil soup), salads and a choice of several tajines of the day.

    Restaurant Riad

    While all the riads in the Meknès medina have lovely restaurants, this is probably the pick of the bunch. Set around a lush green courtyard, it’s a great place to relax, and while the menu of salads, tajines and couscous is simple, it’s all delicious and served with care and attention.

  5. E

    Restaurant Gambrinus

    A good place for Moroccan food in colourful surroundings in the ville nouvelle, which feels like something of a surprise when you discover that the original Gambrinus was a Czech immigrant in 1914. It’s perennially popular with locals, who come for the good range of tajines.

    Restaurant Mille et Une Nuits

    Easily located off Place el-Hedim, this is another converted house, whose owners have leant towards the more showy ‘palace’ restaurant style of surroundings. You’ll find all the Moroccan standards and classics on a reasonably priced menu.
