La Kasbah des Sables : Restaurant & Lounge

“"It all blends in!"....and when that happens, you're in a sweet spot. That's what you will experience here as well; you'll be welcomed like a Queen and King. The atmosphere and ambiance are amazing (even more as the surroundings outside are not ;-)), the staff is well dressed and very professional....and then they start serving food. First some bruschetta's from the house. Then we ordered steak tartare (I've eaten a lot, this was one of the top favorites) and a mozzarella salad (looking as good as it tasted), then we had fish and T-bone, all really tasty and well prepared. Special compliments to the chef, that's skill showed in action rather than in words!!!”

“Best food we have had in Ouarzazate. We ordered the steak and vegetable risotto and the serving size was very large. Lovely new interior with intimate and group seating. A sunken couch to the side for smoking as well as an area to play chess and checkers.”

“Hidden gem! Excellent food, T-bone steak and vegetables were cooked perfectly. Excellent service, attentive and friendly. Restaurant is beautifully laid out and welcoming. Highly recommended.”

“We were outside and forgot what time it was; got hungry and ended up coming at their closing time ....yet they wolcomed us warmly unlike others and waited us patiently. Service was warm and welcoming. We were afraid about the quality of food but it turned out to be fresh and quite tasty. Interior design really charming. Recomnd👌🏻”

“At first glance, the restaurant looks pleasant — even beautiful — especially considering that it is located on a rather quiet, lifeless street. There is a pool, a fireplace, and nicely set tables. Unfortunately, this atmosphere is something you will be enjoying for over an hour while waiting for your food. We were informed right away that the kitchen was “very busy,” even though less than half of the tables were occupied. At first, we were told that there was no tea. We then asked for just hot water, but were told that this was also impossible due to the kitchen being busy. Okay. We ordered a Caesar salad, pasta, and a salmon steak. After 20 minutes, we asked again the staff about the hot water, and suddenly tea became available. The food itself took another 70 minutes to arrive. By that point, we had almost completely lost our appetite. To make matters worse, there was sand in the salad and salmon. We understand that the desert is nearby, but in a restaurant where prices are two or even three times higher than in regular cafés, one would expect food to be genuinely good — or at the very least, free of sand. Overall, this place can only be recommended if you are in no hurry and plan to come just for drinks. I’d like to end quoting our waiter ‘sorry for the time. Please, smile. It’s not the end of the world’”

“We came here with friends to have dinner. The place is hard to find, but it’s very pretty inside. There is a pool inside the design is brilliant. But the advantages end here. Firstly the waiter told us that the kitchen is busy, without mentioning the estimated time of serving. The restaurant was nearly half busy, so we stayed. There was a problem to get hot drinks - first waiter said that the kitchen is busy, so he can’t serve tea or even hot water. At last agreed to give us hot water with lemon. We’ve been waiting for the dishes more than an hour. My pasta was good, but my friend’s dishes can barely called the same: in the salad was sand, the salmon was overcooked. Nice place if you have plenty of time, or just want to have a few glasses of wine.”
