Dar Yarcourt, Marrakech


At 79 rue Sidi Ahmed Soussi,  Bab Doukkala, Medina, Marrakech 40000 you will find Dar Yacout. An enchanting Ryadh on the expensive side, they have good cous cous and tajine. Some Berbers may play music for you, but maybe the children should be left at home. You'd be fascinated by just sitting there, and the novelty for the kids would wear off in a few minutes.


Set in a 300 year old palace now used as this upscale restaurant, it boasts original tiles and striped tadelakt plaster. Make sure you make your way to the roof to check out the nighttime view of the vibrant city. If you don't mind a slightly touristy feel and a decent sized check at the end of the night, I think you'll actually find it worth it.

    Hope you are having a splendid time in the most magical of cities.
    We miss it horribly --even the chaos and the mopeds!

    1. Didn't realize it was an old blog, but no matter. Time can often stand still, especially in Marrakech. ;) And the chaos adds to the charm!
