Le Foundouk, Traditional restaurant in the Medina souks, Marrakesh, Morocco.
Le Foundouk is a restaurant in the Medina souks with multiple levels arranged around a central courtyard. Intimate mezzanines and alcoves lead upward to a rooftop terrace offering views across the Medina.
The building originated as a traditional Moroccan foundouk, which once served as both lodging and storage for traveling merchants and their animals. Over time, it was converted into a restaurant while retaining its historical character.
The restaurant honors Moroccan cooking traditions while incorporating Mediterranean touches into its dishes. Guests can enjoy classics like pastilla, tagines, and couscous prepared following local recipes.
Reaching the location requires navigating through narrow Medina alleyways, which takes time and patience. Staff members help guests find their way and assist them with transportation arrangements after their meal.
The interior is illuminated by multiple chandeliers with colored candles casting soft, warm light throughout the space. From the rooftop, visitors can see bazaars, gardens, and mosques of the city all at once.
