A.Montana — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

This place was one of the highlights of our trip to Marrakech. My biggest regret is not having eaten here earlier (we came here on the last day of the trip), because I would've eaten there every day! The food is fresh and so delicious. There is enough variety in the menu that there's something for all diet types. Very fair prices for the area.

The staff members are absolute gems. They are kind, attentive, honest and generous. Take the time to speak with them, you'll learn so much about the riad, its restoration and the Medina. It's of the beaten path, nobody here will try to pull you into the restaurants and shops like in the touristy parts of the Medina.

It is by reservation only, so be sure to call in advance. If you are a big group, I recommend that you tell them your menu choices in advance so that they can be prepared and that you wait less. We were 9, had entrées, tagines, couscous and desserts, and we were served very quickly upon arrival. There's no alcohol license, but the mint tea is excellent. The prune beef tagine is a must!

I miss this restaurant already and will definitely recommend it to all my friends who...

My last night in Marrakech I decided to wander and stumbled upon Montana by accident. This family-owned restaurant has a nondescript facade with a small sign at the intersection (located near PepeNero, which is a chain I’ve seen in Munich). I ordered the vegetable soup purée and the cous cous with chicken.

From start to finish the meal was a delight. The soup was fresh, light and creamy, soothing, and served at the perfect temperature - hot. In my travel experience soups can be over-seasoned or made too salty, this was perfect.

The cous cous was also just as fresh. The presentation was lovely with a garnish of sweet carmelized onions. The cous cous was light and fluffy and the chicken fell off the bone. What was best about this meal is it was not overdone with oil and fat, which can leave you feeling tired.

Food prep takes some time (10-15 mins for soup, 15-20 for cous cous) - in my opinion worth the wait.

Based on my dining experience I hope this family stays in business for many...

I think it's one of the best dining experiences of my life. The owner is fantastic, really it's like going to a friend's house and the host is serving top notch food in a fantastic courtyard. It was not busy when we went. It's a laid back experience, and we tried many things from couscous, tagine, soup (which was given free due to a slight wait.) morroccon starters , morroccon tea.. ( we went again the next night, because their food was the best we ate in Marrakech. ) Thanks sir for your hospitality, we wish...
