PepeNero

Top choice in Marrakesh


Housed in part of Riad Al Moussika, Thami El Glaoui's one-time pleasure palace, this dreamy Italian-Moroccan restaurant is one of the finest in the medina. The show-stealer is its fresh house-made pasta, including imaginative vegie options like celeriac ravioli with chive sauce. Request a table beside the courtyard pool, rimmed by citrus trees, to make the most of the occasion. Reservations required.
