Le Tobsil

Marrakesh


In this intimate riad near Bab Laksour, a maximum of 50 guests indulge in button-popping, five-course Moroccan menus with aperitifs and wine pairings, as Gnaoua musicians strum quietly in the courtyard. Don't let the belly dancers distract you from your Moroccan salads, bastilla (rich savoury pie), tajines (yes, that’s plural) and couscous, capped with house wine and Moroccan pastries. Booking required.
