La Famille

Marrakesh


Stepping through the alleyway into La Famille is like emerging through a Narnia wardrobe: it's a different world inside this leafy garden cafe, cocooned from the dusty souq outside. The wholesome menu is vegetarian, inventive and changes daily. Expect dishes like brussels sprout gnocchi with Parmesan, orange zest and dried fig, or barley salad with garlic cheese, salted chickpeas and pear.
