No matter how many times you’ve been to Marrakech, this city keeps surprising you with new hidden gems. One of them is restaurant La Trattoria, located in the (relatively) new district of Gueliz. In the most unexpected place, on what looks like an ordinary street, the doors suddenly open to a thousand-and-one-nights experience. A true gem you would never have guessed was hiding behind those doors.
La Trattoria, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is as the name suggests fully Italian. With lovely dishes like Melanzane alla Parmigiana, Salmone alla Griglia, and Fettuccine con Gamberi e Zucchine on the menu. The restaurant has several areas where you can relax, drink and or dine. As you would have guessed the ‘Côté Piscine’ spots are the most popular and absolutely scream date night. Truly, It doesn’t get more fairy-tale-like than this. A pool, surrounded by beautifully set tables and hundreds of magical lanterns hanging above. No doubt the heart of La Trattoria Marrakech, an inviting space that transforms with the rhythm of the day. Besides the magical Piscine area there is also an ‘Indoor Salon’ with cosy low plush chairs. And then there is ‘Restaurant Jardin’ where you can relax throughout the whole day and evening with a nice hot tea or a glass of wine. It has beautiful atmospheric lighting. Grab a book from the shell inside and enjoy some fresh air.
Ready for a perfect Marrakech date night? Do you have an anniversary to celebrate? Or just want to be blown away by this gorgeous Moroccan aesthetic? Make sure to add La Trattoria to your Marrakech hotspot list and make a reservation in time.
