The Oberoi, Marrakech 

Tamimt
Breakfast and all-day dining take place beneath high arches and chandeliers or outside on the terrace. There’s an open kitchen indoors, but we’d take an outdoor table when the weather cooperates, with views along the gardens towards the Atlas. The menu brings together Mediterranean, Indian, and international dishes.

Rivayat
The restaurant to plan an evening around. Indoors, there are velvet chairs, elaborate lighting, and monochrome zellige. Outside, tables sit around the Ben Youssef-inspired courtyard, which becomes more atmospheric after dark. Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai mentors the menu of refined Indian cooking, and there’s a thali lunch at weekends.

Azur
Lunch here feels properly resort-like. The terrace overlooks the 30-metre pool, grand canal, olive and citrus trees, and the mountains beyond, while indoors there’s a frescoed domed ceiling. The menu keeps things lighter with salads, snacks, and simple daytime dishes.

Vue
A lovely place to start the evening. Candlelight and a glowing fireplace give the inside a cosy feel after dark, while the terrace opens onto the gardens and Atlas Mountains. The drinks list runs from Champagne and single malts to classic and signature cocktails.
