Sanssouci Cooking School

“We absolutely loved the cooking class with Hayat and her team at Dar Les Cigones. After a tour of the market we cooked a Moroccan meal and then got to eat it in a private, fully set table on the gorgeous rooftop of the riad - we also bought a bottle of wine to enjoy with the meal which was the house white but delicious. There are lots of other items / drinks available to buy a la carte too. Hayat is so knowledgeable and friendly, she really makes sure the experience is 5 stars. Can’t recommend enough to anyone visiting Marrakech!”

“What an incredible place! We first at in the restaurant and where food was heavenly and served by the most charming team - hauntingly beautiful live music and glorious elegant surroundings topped off an enchanting evening. We loved it so much we headed back for cooking classes and were treated like royalty. After a trip to the local market (which was a massive eye-opener!), we learnt how to make a glorious tagine and berber bread. Washed down with lashings of mint tea and, later, some delicious Moroccan wines on the roof terrace - it was an experience I would recommend to anyone, even if you're only in Marrakech for a few days. From start to finish, the most magical experience we had in Marrakech.”

“Interesting, funny and delicious. We had a fantastic time at the cooking school. We enjoyed the market and trying out some cooking techniques in the kitchen. The best couscous I have ever eaten, and the lemon chicken? Devine!”

“What a wonderful experience, learning about all the Moroccan ingredients and spices that go into making these amazing dishes. Could not recommend this enough for those with a culinary sense of adventure in incredible surroundings.”

“My wife and son and I had a great afternoon with Pierre in the market and in the kitchen. The staff were great and we learned enough to make our first Tagine and Moroccan salads at home the week after we got home!”

“I was lucky enough to take a class here and loved it. It was great to learn the really traditional ways of cooking rather than the modern short cut cooking with pressure cookers. Very personalized and friendly. Highly recommended.”
