I love the vibe and I had a wonderful evening with my mom in the restaurant. Ahmed is lovely and funny. He took care of the table really well. The food is flavorful and the portion is good. I will miss this place!❤️
Abdel looked after us so well and we have had such an amazing time here. The food, the cocktails, live jazz performances and simply stunning ambiance…. A Marrakech must see!!
Amazing place. The riad is gorgeous. The jazz band was fantastic. Great service. The 2 hostesses at the front Imane and Rita were fantastic. They got us the best table sitting right in front of the band. Yasser was an amazing waiter. He took great care of us. Took pictures of us when we asked and suggested great dishes. Loved this place and would highly recommend it to anybody visiting Marrakech who loves live bands.
I had dinner at Le Bistro Arabe to celebrate my birthday, and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a really nice place, with a great atmosphere and live jazz music that made the evening feel very special. The band even sang Happy Birthday for me, which was such a memorable touch. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. A special thank you to Fati, who served me and was very attentive and friendly throughout the evening. I would also like to thank the lady at the reception who warmly welcomed me when I arrived — she made a wonderful first impression. Overall, a beautiful place with a fantastic atmosphere and very warm, attentive service.
Magnificent evening - best restaurant experience in Marrakesh so far and we’ve been to a few. The setting is unmatched, band was phenomenal, food fantastic and great service. Great menu. Youssef was our host for the evening and his service was as professional as it gets. Truly an incredible experience, if you’re reading this, I highly recommend you book a table as you won’t get a better setting. It’s not your over hyped Instagram restaurant experiences, it’s genuine, elegant, romantic, fun ( the band/music perfect). We went as a couple and it hit every note 🎵 when we visit le bistro will be on the regular list. Thank you 🙏
