La Cantine des Gazelles

“If you are looking for a great spot to grab a bite in Marrakesh, La Cantine des Gazelles is a solid choice. The place has such a fun, colorful vibe Here is what stood out: The food started off light and fresh. It was a nice mix of cheese, herbs, and a chunky tomato-onion salad. The main dish was a total win. It was a classic tagine with really tender meat, topped off with sweet prunes and crunchy almonds for the perfect texture. The sweets were tiny works of art. They looked almost too good to eat, but they were the perfect way to finish the meal. Honestly, it is a great place to sit back and enjoy some authentic local food in a super welcoming setting.”

“Our best meal in Marrakesh. Super homecooked food. We were recommend by some friends who have visited on their previous trips to the city. You get a smoothie drink and olives on arrival. The dishes were tasty and fresh. I especially recommend the Aubergine gratin. Delicious! The sharing pudding and mint tea - perfect end to the meal. The price was very good. The server was also very attentive and friendly. What is not to like!”

“I can only recommend this place. We had a great experience and I i understand why this restaurant gained such a good reputation over they years. The food is excellent and well presented. The service is attentive and professional. I am so glad they opened the first floor as i have been trying to come for a while but it was always impossible to get a table without a reservation. Well done, I will definitely come back.”

“Great little place, reasonable prices and good portion sizes. They have complimentary olives, fresh bread, and fresh fruit smoothies. My bf got the burger and I got the beef tagine. Highly recommend.”

“Good place at the heart of the city. Food was very well made and delicious. Place itself is a bit loud and has simple decoration. Service was very fast and friendly. Menu available in English, Spanish and French. Prices are very reasonable. Overall I highly recommend it.”

“A very lucky find. Only a few hours after landing in Marrakech, we found ourselves wandering around the markets, hungry after travelling all day. We happened across this vibrant and busy restaurant by pure luck and, without a reservation, were seated after a short wait. The Tagines (we had chicken and beef) were fantastic, along with complimentary bread, olives, and pastries afterwards. The smoothies are also delicious and refreshing. A must-visit if you come to Marrakech.”
