The lotus garden

The lotus garden

Tucked away in a former princely residence in the Dar El Bacha district, transformed into a cool, light-filled oasis, Les Jardins du Lotus is a true haven of peace offering a superb setting where Moroccan craftsmanship and contemporary touches blend to perfection. Gold-leaf walls, copper chandeliers, glass bay windows, wrought iron, black-and-white marble, a pool, cacti, all set against a rose-tinted backdrop — settle in comfortably in the shade of the orange trees to explore the menu.
On the food side, Les Jardins du Lotus offers a wealth of dishes as flavourful as they are colourful, dreamed up by the (talented) and delightful Mexican-Québécoise chef, Clarisse Jolicœur. Time to indulge. Lobster green salad with citrus-poached lobster, cheese and sautéed wild mushroom quesadillas, smoked salmon Florentine with dill and spinach hollandaise, truffle eggs Benedict with cabbage panko, and mango pico de gallo… Paired with a beetroot or kiwi-cucumber detox juice, this indulgent yet healthy cuisine is a real treat. On to dessert, and we'll say it straight away — we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! A melting chocolate sphere over silky custard, deconstructed lemon tart, mint tea panna cotta with fekkas crumble, a Mexican ‘extra-moist’ coconut cake, and rose and pomegranate pavlova. Light, flavourful and smooth — we loved every bite.
The wine list will delight every palate, with something to please every guest. More often than not, you'll come back to this address for a delicious mint tea. Professional staff are on hand to welcome guests all year round. If you're after truly outstanding service, this is the place to go. Delicious dishes are served here at affordable prices. Visitors to this restaurant can enjoy a comfortable atmosphere and beautiful decor. The Frommer's guide awarded Les Jardins Du Lotus 2 stars, meaning it comes highly recommended.
