Naranj

Top choice in Marrakesh


Naranj's ultraslick interior of khamsa (hand-shaped amulet) mirrors, low-hanging copper lamps and bar seating is quite a scene change on Riad Zitoun El Jedid. It wouldn't look out of place in a hipster ’hood in Beirut, which is the point, because the menu is a contemporary take on Lebanese. Head straight up to the lovely split level terrace and order anything with falafel.
