Regulars of the labyrinthine alleys of the medina of Marrakech are already certainly familiar with the Café des Épices, a renowned meeting place to enjoy a break between the souks. Many must have got to know Le Jardin, the second establishment created by Kamal Laftimi who, in collaboration with interior designer Anne Favier, created a real oasis of freshness in the center of a superbly renovated 16th century building. The modest door of the place crossed, a luxuriant garden equipped with small outdoor or indoor lounges and a multitude of ambient lights is offered to the eyes; it is overlooked by terraces where, in the evening, you can attend open-air screenings of classic films. Its Moroccan design, with European chic, calls to mind the golden years of Marrakech from 1960 to 70, which Norya Ayron’s Pop Up Shop celebrates on the ground floor of the establishment. With its menu that offers a wide choice of Moroccan or European dishes, Le Jardin is the ideal place for lunch, dinner, or simply to cool off with a good cocktail.
