Small riad restaurant in the Medina quite difficult to find, but with excellent service and good traditional Moroccan food. Very welcoming staff, very 'authentic Moroccan' - Food was OK, bit bland, and seems very expensive for what you get.

The owner of our riad, Dar Silsila, recommended this restaurant and reserved his special table for us. Wow! I have never eaten in a similar setting. They have three fixed price levels with a few options of dishes at each level. We all chose the least expense one which was more than ample and we had delicious selections. The setting... More

Beautiful riad, well signposted on fairly main street, but then you will need to be very confident to find it yourself down the little alleys. However, very helpful (name-badged) doorman on main street is there to assist! Very good salad starter, average tagine, average dessert, tea and Morroccan petit fours. This for what initially looked to be a steepish 350MAD... More

Food great, service great but the environment is the reason to go especially if you are not staying nearby.

Ksar is a good restaurant for anyone on a first visit to Marrakech. They serve all the Moroccan classic dishes to a good standard in lovely surroundings. It is an especially good choice if you are not staying in a riad as it is an opportunity to experience life in a Moroccan courtyard. The building itself is stunning. On arrival... More

A real treat. We first ate here ten years ago. A decade later it has lost none of its charm. The petit menu was more than enough. The sevice is simply first class.

We were just out wandering, looking for something to eat, when we came across a sign to Ksar Es Saoussan. We had come across it on Tripadvisor and had decided to eat there but as often happened to us in our meanderings through the souk we came across it unexpectedly. What a find. We were led down a narrow alley... More

We visited this restaurant because of some of the good reviews on here, we wish that we hadn't bothered. It's a beautiful inside & the staff we're friendly but it just a tourist trap. We had the smallest set menu which cost 700 Dirham in total (about £55.00) it certainly wasn't worth the money. All the alcohol that was included... More

The restaurant is in a lovely building but the food was terrible! Traditional Morroccan salad which was basically 8 different types of boiled veg. We were also given a tray of olives to start which were lovely but the main dish was chicken tagine which was basically chicken with olives. Very average to say the least.
