The food was exceptional with an extensive wine menu to pair, and the service was phenomenal. We frequented this restaurant more than three times during our 15-day stay in Marrakech for lunch, tapas, and dinner. Highly recommend the Crevettes Pilpil as a starter/Tapa.

Hello,

We went back there at leat three times and always had great experiences. The staff are super nice from the classy polite bouncer/security guy to the host or hostess, and it's also sport bar with many screens for to watch many sports events. We had asked to display a knicker game, and without hesitations or eye brows shifts, they put for us the cricket game that I think the whole nice bar/restaurant guest enjoyed with all good-sports in a welcoming Moroccan style hospitality spirit. we loved their food from their superb Russian salad to their Moroccan lamb very yummy plate with vegetables. The music is classy and the DJ is very adaptable and well aware of the reigning atmospheres. A place one would have to try while in Marrakech, it is located in the heart of Gualiz quarters and has various sitting settings. We preferred the bar seats with the very nice and cultivated impeccable French speaking bar tender, the other day we found another different bar tender and also as funny and nice. We recommend the place that is about 2 minites north-east from the famous hotel la renaissance on avenue Mohamad 5 and Yacob Mansour or something Avenue intersections???

We really enjoyed the place, especially since the have draft beer (something very nice after almost two weeks in Morocco where alcool is pretty rare) and a good selection of tapas. The place was pretty much empty since we were there around 5pm with our kids. We ordered a plate of tapas to share which was copious (enough for 2 adults and 2 young kids). It's a bit expensive but that is to be expected for a tourist restaurant in that part of Marrakech. Overall I would recommend.

the atmosphere is very friendly and it was extremely busy when we went on a Sunday evening.
The crowd is a nice crowd..mostly couples and thirty somethings and they have a dj playing all sorts in the background, I think the music is a bit loud as we had to shout to hear each other, but maybe that's just me getting old :)
I ordered the traditional Spanish salad..the Russian salad..i wonder where the spaniards stole that recipe from? and my friends ordered a selection of tapas which they said was delicious.
Mains we all had the steak and then also a paella after the mains as apparently my friend has a secret pit in his stomach where he is able to consume two starters , two mains and a dessert and still weigh around 70kilos!
All in all a nice evening and i would definitely visit again.

Dear "farhanarkan",

We would like to thank you warmly for taking time to review our Tapas & Sports bar with the whole TripAdvisor community.

Also, we proudly notice that all your expectations concerning the cuisine, the atmosphere & the service were filled.

Concerning your remarks about the russian salad, it was created by Lucien Olivier, a belgian chef, who made it for a famous restaurant in Moscow. It has become really popular in Europe and Spain is no exception but Franco decided to change its name to "National salad".

To resume, it would be a pleasure to welcome you again in our establishment.

This pub is amazing. Great tapas and pailla!! The manager and his staff are good, friendly and welcoming!
Interesting decorations and they play football on TV continuously which makes it fun.
Too much inside smoking though.
