Jardin des Arômes : Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Ouarzazate

You have to go a long way from Jardin des Arômas to find better food, and the staff are attentive, pleasant seeing to every need we had.

The restaurant is set over two levels and depending on the season you will eat downstairs inside in a beautifully decorated traditional Moroccan setting, or upstairs next to or in a lush and verdant garden quite removed from the rest of Ouarzazate.

If you are in Ouarzazate, even for one night this is the place to come.

Look forward to...

We ordered the 10 side entrees of Moroccan salads, which were extremely disappointing. The flavours were all over the place, some where overly spiced, others were overly sweeten.

We had also ordered some couscous, which was alright, nothing extraordinary. On the bland side. Considering our satisfaction with the meal, the price was...
