Dar One was an amazing haven hidden within the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Jean and his team cannot do enough for you to make you feel welcome but also very discreet to make you feel as though you were at home. We discovered another new bar called Yellow Sub – if you have had enough of tagine and couscous then its time to head here for a great 70s experience, French style! Great food, great vibe and great fun. Another 'must do' go for a hammam at Les Bains de Marrakech – so relaxing and the building and interior are simply stunning! All in all, an amazing trip to Marrakech.
Whilst we were in Marrakech I celebrated my 30th birthday and my husband took to me to a wonderful restaurant called Le Foundouk. Amazing food and lovely roof-terrace setting, we'd certainly recommend the Berber Tagine - delicious! It was so good we went back on our last day for lunch.
We'd also recommend the Kosy Bar just a short stroll from Dar One, which had a really relaxed vibe with great views from their roof terrace.
On our return we have heard lots of good things about El Fassia run by a women's co-operative which apparently serves amazing food at reasonable prices - so this is one for our next visit!
Shopping in the souks is a must and we weren't hassled nearly as much as we were expecting - it was fine and there are serious bargains to be had. I bought a leather pouffe. Graham & Green sell these for £115 and we only paid £20! We managed to fill a whole suitcase with our finds!
