- Our house
The house of Lalla Amira
A restaurant, a café and a cooking school under one roof, in the heart of the Marrakech medina.
A table, a café, a school.
Moroccan cooking is passed on by doing it.
At Lalla Amira, the restaurant and the cooking school share the same kitchen: that is where the cooking classes take place, and where the dishes served in the dining room come from. Come for a coffee, stay for a tagine, come back to learn how to make it.
Lalla Amira is the spirit of a Moroccan home: you are welcomed as a guest, you eat as a family, and you leave with a little of Morocco in your hands.
What makes our house
Six commitments, from the morning coffee to the last evening service.
Authenticity
The Moroccan recipes of always, tagines, couscous, pastilla, seffa, cooked on site with the gestures passed down through generations.
High standards
The rigour of great kitchens applied to every plate, every service and every class.
Hospitality
A glass of mint tea to start, an attentive team, and a door open from 9 am to 11 pm.
Passing it on
Our classes are not demonstrations, they are cooked: everyone leaves knowing how to make what they tasted.
