Dar Ghizlane

Dar Ghizlane
Set in the heart of the Hivernage district, the Dar Rhizlane guest palace and restaurant is a must-visit address for food lovers. We went there for lunch a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. But first, let's talk about the setting.
A true palace of elegant architecture, Dar Rhizlane offers a hushed, cosy setting blending zellige tilework, leather, fine woods and large bay windows. These bay windows look out over a magnificent, colourful garden with rose bushes, lemon trees, bitter orange trees and bougainvillea, creating several spaces that are as charming as they are inviting: a shaded terrace, a veranda, a private lounge. We settled in comfortably by the poolside for lunch, and despite the heat — nearly 38°C that day — it was pleasantly cool in the shade of the bougainvillea.
On the menu, an inventive, refined gastronomic cuisine with Moroccan and Mediterranean influences, carefully crafted by the excellent chef Hamid El Alaoui. We began with crispy prawns, crunchy vegetables and a sweet-and-sour sauce. Importantly, the vegetables are organic and come straight from the Dar Rhizlane estate, as does the olive tapenade and the excellent extra-virgin olive oil. Everything is carefully spiced — a real treat.
If you'd like to make use of the pool, Dar Rhizlane Marrakech offers pool access plus lunch for 400 Dhs. As spaces are limited, booking is required.
And if you'd simply like to enjoy a drink amid the beautiful setting, Dar Rhizlane has a charming bar, as well as a boutique where you'll find jewellery, beauty products and the excellent Dar Rhizlane extra-virgin olive oil.
