مطبخ منى — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

The most horrible experience all around. Read the full story to see. I have grown up in Syria. Ate Lebanese/Syrian cuisine in numerous countries " Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, London, France & the US throughout 10 States Arriving from the states last week, I was very excited to go to a Lebanes restaurant in an Arabic country & take a my fiancé' s Moroccan family to try the Arabic food made in lebanon & Syria. Through google I saw that the restaurant I enjoyed the food at last year "Fairuz" is under construction. So I saw good reviews on Mona's. Arriving there the first shock was that you could walk straight through the tiny & narrow entrance if you are taller than 5'.11 inches & weigh more than $180 lb, plus the tiny seating area & uncomfortable seats & small round tables that were put together for the 6 of us. But that is not a problem if you eat authentic food. Second I happy surprise was they didn't have Labneh which is a must for any Lebanese or Syrian appetizers' menu. We said k. Another small hurdle we could overcome when we taste the good food. The appetizers for 4 adults insisted of what is known anywhere in the world where I ate the food enough for 1 -2 people Which the small round plate. The portion is also not the biggest issue. The flavor didn't exist. It tasted old & out of a can. The Falafel wasn't even cooked enough plus no flavor. The humus had no lemon taste. The babghanough was eggplants with tahini & pomogrante with no other flavor of any "out of a can" The chicken shawarma was already iced with all the side items as if it is in a sandwich, so that you wouldn't hopefully notice that the chicken quantity Is not enough for more than one person. The Kefta were exactly 9 small pieces for 4 people No vegetables of any kind in the side. They ran out of Orange juice even though we were the only customers in the place & only had 4 small glasses of it. The biggest shock is what would have cost 700-900 Dirhams at the other places in the area with bigger space, more flavor & quantity & much better service. Was ridiculous at 1,300 Dirhams. For 4 types of Appetizers & one salad with what can't be called chicken & 9 small pieces of Kefta. So, the place is small on a side road with no parking in an off beat area "rent is pretty cheap". Very small home stove, no grill or anything you would find in a restaurant kitchen. A fridge under the counter, that students use in the dorm rooms, service is by a Moroccan gentleman or the 2 ladies that are heating the ore made food, the menu is missing the essential items, the food has no authentic flavor whatsoever, the portion is good for a child, the price is higher than the expensive Lebanese restaurants in the states & definitely 4-5 higher than Fayrouz which by far has better space, service &. 10 times more...

I recently had the opportunity to visit La Cuisine de Mona in Marrakech, a Lebanese restaurant known for its friendly owner, cozy atmosphere, and homely decorations. As a person who frequently dines out due to my job, I have visited numerous restaurants around the world, and this was my third time at La Cuisine de Mona.

One aspect that stood out to me was the warm and welcoming nature of the owner. The personal touch added a sense of familiarity and created a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance was cozy and inviting, with its homely decorations contributing to a comfortable atmosphere.

When it comes to the food, I must say that while it was enjoyable, it did not leave a lasting impression. The dishes were okay, somehow tasty, but nothing particularly outstanding. As someone who has tried a wide variety of cuisines, I believe I have a fair basis for comparison. While the food at La Cuisine de Mona was decent, it lacked that extra something to make it truly exceptional.

Considering the quantity and quality of the food, I found the prices to be somewhat disappointing. For the overall dining experience and the flavors presented, I felt that the cost was not justified. This is not to say that the place is bad; it simply means that the taste and quantity of the food did not meet my expectations, especially considering the price point.

Despite my reservations about the value for money, I would like to emphasize that La Cuisine de Mona is by no means a bad restaurant. The friendly owner and cozy atmosphere contribute positively to the dining experience. However, for those who prioritize exceptional taste and generous portions for the price paid, there might be other options in Marrakech that offer a more satisfying experience.

Ultimately, La Cuisine de Mona is a decent Lebanese restaurant with a friendly owner and a cozy atmosphere. While the food is tasty, it falls short of being truly impressive. The prices, considering the small quantity and quality of the dishes, may not be worth it for those seeking an outstanding...

This restaurant is definitely not kid friendly as suggested. The owners even asked me where I noticed that it said it was kid friendly. At the time I could not find it on their cell phones that they asked me to point it out on. The reason being- it serves alcoholic beverages and kids are not welcome indoors where there is liquor. I’m certain this was the reason but the staff were rushed to get us out of the restaurant with our 7, 9 and 12 year old. We took up the entire small patio. We felt the food was subpar and was by far the most expensive restaurant we ate at yet after two weeks in Morocco. One person average is about 125 dirham. Food like a small dish of potatoes was 35 dirham- they had been re heated and tasted old. The hummus and tabouleh was great, alongside other salads but the deep fried food was soggy and too greasy. Was a bit of a disappointment and just wanted to warn others before they have a similar experience with children. That being said I may have rated it a four if I had a glass or two of wine to go with the meal and was not with...
