Spanish Restaurants in Marrakech

If you’re craving a break from tagines and couscous while in Marrakech, there are a few Spanish spots that bring a nice change of pace. The Spanish food scene here isn’t huge, but it’s definitely there when you know where to look.

One of my favorite places is La Bodega in Gueliz. It’s not just about the usual paella; they do a good job with classic tapas and somehow strike that balance between casual and cozy. I usually hit it up on a mild evening, sitting outside with a glass of Rioja watching the city go by. And if you’re around the Medina, keep an eye out for little spots that serve tortilla española or jamón serrano , not fancy joints, but they hit the spot when you want a simple plate of Spanish comfort food.

Here’s a tip: Spanish dining in Marrakech tends to lean toward the casual end, so don’t expect anything too upscale or polished. It’s more about good food, great flavors, and sometimes a lively vibe. If you want a solid, chill place to enjoy some albondigas or fresh seafood paella, La Bodega’s the go-to. Just remember, it fills up on weekend nights, so going early or booking is smart. Oh, and if you really love seafood, inquire about their daily fresh catch,it’s often locals’ secret for the best dishes.
