SHIRVAN - by Michelin Star Chef Akrame — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

Restaurant is integrated into a 5* hotel of a big Asian chain on the outskirts of Marrakech. This context and the headline “by Michelin Star Chef” together with the price tags set the expectations extremely high. We had lamb chops and lamb shank. Both were executed without any refinement. To our taste the chops were apparently cooked on a plancha with lots of grease. The shank was scortched and as a result only partially eatable. All that in an atmosphere which was too dark to see what we had on our plates. We asked for a second LED lamp on the table which gave little relief. Wonderful setting on the terrace of the hotel. Had dinner the night before in the Asian restaurant of the same hotel where we were served before sunset and could see the food better. “SHIRVAN by Michelin Star Chef” was not only a big disappointment, but a disgrace for institutions like Michelin.

Dessert was fantastic, a mix of ice-cream, traditional dishes and pastry. As we were about to finish, Belinda kindly came over to check on us and bid us goodnight as her shift was ending. What a lovely thought. Thank you for a...

We went to Shivran for dinner to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived the table was already beautifully decorated and we were served delicious appetisers and drinks. We had a table out on the terrace overlooking the pool. For starters we had Moroccan salads and tajine for mains. The Moroccan style dates for dessert were the cherry on top. Our waiter Hakat made sure that we had an overall great experience at Shivran. We’ll definitely come back the next time...
