L'Adresse Guéliz, Café & Restaurant — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

L’Adresse sits in prime real estate overlooking Jemaa el-Fna square. But don’t let that fool you. The only thing this location offers is front-row seats to your own misery. The ambiance is as lifeless as the food, with décor that screams “we stopped trying years ago.” and "the guests are too stupid to notice how comically bad the resolution of our art is" Any charm Marrakesh’s iconic square might lend is immediately obliterated by the sheer incompetence radiating from every corner of this establishment.

If Dante had envisioned a tenth circle of hell, L'Adresse in Marrakesh would undoubtedly be its centerpiece—a culinary purgatory where flavor goes to die, service is a distant myth, and your patience is tested beyond mortal limits. This establishment doesn’t just fail to meet expectations; it actively sabotages them with a level of ineptitude so profound it borders on performance art.

This place is less a restaurant and more an elaborate prank on unsuspecting tourists. Dining here isn’t just a mistake—it’s a catastrophic lapse in judgment that will haunt you long after you’ve left Marrakesh. If culinary disasters had a capital, L’Adresse would be its shining beacon of failure.

The Food: An Abomination on a Plate Let’s start with the so-called beef tajine, which is less of a tajine and more of a war crime against Moroccan cuisine. This dish, which should be bursting with tender meat, fragrant spices, and hearty vegetables, arrives looking like it was assembled by someone who’s never even heard of Morocco. The meat is bland, lifeless, and clearly cooked outside the tajine—a cardinal sin in this country. And vegetables? Forget it. All you get are a few sad almonds scattered on top like some kind of cruel practical joke. This isn’t just bad—it’s an insult to every Moroccan grandmother who has ever lovingly prepared this dish.

The seafood pasta is a crime against both seafood and pasta. What they serve is not seafood pasta but a sad pile of overcooked noodles slathered in tomato paste with canned tuna masquerading as the “seafood.” It’s less Italian indulgence and more “drunken college student at 4 AM,” except somehow worse.

The chicken couscous? Overcooked into oblivion, with chicken so dry it could double as jerky. The sparse zucchini inexplicably tastes like fish because apparently, cross-contamination is just part of the “charm” here.

If the food doesn’t ruin your day (though it absolutely will), the service will finish the job. The staff at L’Adresse don’t just ignore you—they seem to actively resent your presence. Want to feel like you’re being glared at by people who’d rather fight you than serve you? This is your spot!

L’Adresse isn’t just bad—it’s spectacularly bad. It’s so bad that it transcends mere disappointment and enters the realm of legend—a cautionary tale passed down through generations of travelers as a warning: Do not eat here. This isn’t just a restaurant to avoid; it’s one to actively warn others about.

In a city filled with vibrant street food and authentic dining experiences, L’Adresse stands out for all the wrong reasons. It’s not just a waste of money—it’s a waste of hope, joy, and possibly your will to live. You’d be better off eating mystery meat from a street vendor or gnawing on your own shoe than subjecting yourself to this culinary...

I will be rating l’Adresse Marrakech based on my own experience and on the following elements: food & beverage, service, location, cleaniness, price. Starting with service, it is in fact the most outstanding of the sbove elements. The guys trully rock in terms of greeting, guiding and fast servicing. the only glitch i prrsonally experienced is the lack of baby chairs. The while place has only 2 of them, and for a a couple of adults with a baby, i found that to be very inconvenient. Location is also outstanding and i found it to be a good alternative to other spots such as cafe de France or CTM, though it offers a different, less panoramic view of the square. nice vintage point though. I rate the above elements one star each as the cafe/restaurant offers great quality of service and a nice view. coming to food & beverages and price, i personally was dispaointed in terms of the quality of food offered. I ordered pasta penne with chicken and mushroons, virgin mojito, while my husband got a chicken club sandwich, french fries, a milkshake and a 1oz bottle of mineral water. Damage was 215 MAD. The food tasted very average, to be nice, and even the quantity were like not even as much as what you would get for half the price at any orher famous foods spot in the city, and i think they are really running short of potatoes. This is the first time i have been served « few » french fries. For the price, i find this location to be pricy for what it got to offer. Overall rating is 2 and a half star. One for the service and another for the location. A half of my own feeling and experience. The food/beverage coupled with price were disapponting and for that reason no stars for them, sorry guys! There is room for a lot of improvements from that...

*Well worth the money *

Service: nice and friendly - some of the staff can speak English and most of them not, but you will get what you order.

Food: tasty and fresh, portions are not too big or too small - just enough for an adult person.

Price & atmosphere: the price is just a bit above the standard prices in Morroco, but still very cheap when compared to my country (Ireland), most guests here are tourists. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing, the staff won't bother you unless you looking for them - you can sit there for hours and hours and enjoy the noise of the busy streets.

Parking is available just at the front.

Kids friendly.

Not Wheelchair access - could be a bit difficult as there are some steps to get into the garden and the toilets are upstairs.

Overall - well worth the money and you should pay a visit to this restaurant if you have time and if you are looking to eat somewhere where feels safe to eat and not get food poisoning - once when you get to Morroco you will understand why I'm mentioning...
