Best Brunch in Marrakech
La Brillante: Rooftop Brunch in the Medina
A few steps from Bahia Palace, La Brillante is one of the most stylish brunch spots in the Marrakech medina. This glamorous riad takes its name from the palace itself — Bahia meaning “brilliant” or “bright” — and yes, it has fully understood the assignment.
Head up to the top floor and you will find a sleek rooftop setting where brunch arrives with pastries, fresh breads, jams, Moroccan crepes, and a main course chosen from the restaurant menu. The food is light, polished, and seasonal, which is very convenient when we want to feel elegant while eating our way through half the table.
The real bonus? Brunch includes access to the patio pool. In the middle of the medina, where the streets outside are all scooters, spice stalls, and beautiful chaos, this kind of calm feels like a small miracle with sunbeds.
Best for: a chic medina brunch, rooftop views, pool access, riad atmosphere, and a polished weekend treat without leaving the old city.
When: Saturdays and Sundays
Price: 650 MAD per person, including pool and sunbed access.
Mandarin Oriental Marrakech: Luxury, Calm, and a Very Polished Sunday
For a proper luxury brunch in Marrakech, Mandarin Oriental Marrakech is one of the obvious heavy-hitters. This is the place we choose when we want everything to feel smooth, quiet, beautifully arranged, and slightly too elegant for our usual Sunday behavior.
Brunch is served on Sundays on the terraces of the Pool Garden restaurant, with views over the resort’s magnificent pool. The setting feels blissfully removed from the city, even though Marrakech is still only minutes away. That is the magic trick: city nearby, chaos suspended, pastries incoming.
The brunch itself is refined and generous, with beautifully prepared dishes, elegant pastries, and the sort of calm atmosphere only a top-tier resort can really pull off. This season, the brunch alternates weekly between two themes: Peruvian-Spanish, with dishes such as paella, ceviche, and empanadas, and Classic Italian, with pasta tossed in a Parmesan wheel, lasagna, bruschetta, and other comfort-heavy temptations.
There is also a brunch-and-pool option if you want to turn Sunday into a full-day affair. Which, frankly, is the correct attitude.
Best for: luxury resort brunch, polished service, pool views, refined pastries, and a Sunday that feels properly indulgent.
Prices:
1250 MAD per person for brunch only
1950 MAD per person for brunch with pool access
Children aged 5 to 11 receive 50% off
Al Maaden Golf Marrakech: Brunch with Atlas Views
If your dream brunch involves open skies, green fairways, and the Atlas Mountains casually showing off in the background, Al Maaden Golf Marrakech is a very strong contender.
Every Sunday, the terrace hosts a generous brunch built around fresh, inventive cooking in one of the loveliest outdoor settings in Marrakech. The spread is big enough to require strategy: fresh salads, maki rolls, live Asian wok dishes, freshly made pasta, tagines, barbecued ribeye steak, and an excellent dessert buffet created by the pastry chef.
This is the kind of brunch where we arrive with noble intentions — “just a salad and maybe one dessert” — and leave questioning why we ever trusted ourselves near a buffet.
Best for: mountain views, outdoor brunch, generous buffets, golf-club scenery, families, and anyone who wants space, greenery, and a very satisfying Sunday feast.
Price: 450 MAD per person, excluding drinks
220 MAD for children under 12
When: Every Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm
Selman Marrakech: Brunch with Arabian Thoroughbreds
Some brunches give us eggs and pastries. Selman Marrakech gives us eggs, pastries, Moroccan elegance, live music, and a parade of purebred Arabian horses. Which, let’s be honest, is a difficult thing for other brunches to compete with.
Served on the terraces of the Pavillon restaurant, the Selman brunch is an elegant buffet featuring Moroccan and international flavors. The atmosphere is refined, the setting is gorgeous, and a Cuban duo adds live entertainment while you eat. Because apparently normal background music was not dramatic enough.
Then comes the grand finale: the horse parade. It turns the whole meal into an event, making this one of the most unique brunch experiences in Marrakech. Come here when you want more than food. Come here when brunch needs a plot.
Best for: special occasions, luxury hotel brunch, horse lovers, live music, elegant terraces, and one of the most memorable brunch experiences in Marrakech.
Price: 1900 MAD per person, excluding drinks, including one glass of champagne
When: Every Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm
Lili & Oli: À la Carte Brunch Every Day
Not every brunch needs to be a huge Sunday production involving buffets, champagne, and a mild identity crisis at the dessert table. Sometimes we just want a beautifully made plate, good coffee, and the freedom to order exactly what we are craving. That is where Lili & Oli comes in.
This Marrakech favorite serves brunch à la carte, so there is no imposed set menu and no pressure to eat like we are training for a buffet marathon. Everything is prepared fresh to order, and the menu leans healthy, colorful, and lifestyle-friendly without becoming joyless.
Expect dishes like Norwegian Benedict, Bagel Me, Sunny Side Up, and other photogenic-but-actually-delicious breakfast and brunch plates. Another major bonus: brunch is available every day, not just on weekends. This is very useful if your Monday morning needs emotional support in the form of eggs and coffee.
Classic breakfasts are served from 7:30 am to noon, while the brunch menu runs from 7:30 am to 4 pm. Located in the residential Targa neighborhood, Lili & Oli is open 7 days a week, except during Ramadan.
Best for: casual brunch, healthy plates, good coffee, weekday brunch, à la carte ordering, and a calmer neighborhood meal away from the medina rush.
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech: Rotisserie-Style Sunday Feast
At the Country Club of the Royal Palm Golf Marrakech, Sundays revolve around the Sabra Rotisserie BBQ. Strictly speaking, this is not a classic brunch in the eggs-and-pastries sense. But if your idea of brunch is “a long, indulgent midday meal where nobody rushes us,” then yes, we are absolutely counting it.
The meal begins with savory appetizers served family-style, followed by grilled meats and seasonal side dishes, then finishes with a Café Gourmand for dessert. The setting does a lot of heavy lifting too: Country Club terraces, centuries-old olive trees, golf-course views, and that polished Fairmont calm that makes everything feel slightly more civilized.
So no, this is not the place for pancakes and eggs Benedict. But for a slow Sunday BBQ-style feast with family or friends? Very much yes.
Best for: Sunday lunch, rotisserie BBQ, golf-course views, family gatherings, relaxed luxury, and anyone who prefers grilled meats over classic brunch plates.
Prices:
650 MAD per person, excluding drinks and pool access
750 MAD per person, excluding drinks, with pool access
Children under 12 receive 50% off
New: Unlimited beer package for 250 MAD per person
Park Hyatt Marrakech: New Brunch with Pool, Golf, and Mountain Views
One of the newer luxury brunch options in Marrakech comes from Park Hyatt Marrakech. Every Sunday from 12:30 pm to 5 pm, the hotel hosts a generous buffet on a terrace overlooking the pool, golf course, and Atlas Mountains. A casual little backdrop, then. Nothing too dramatic. Just mountains, water, sunshine, and possibly too much dessert.
The selection is broad and polished, with grilled meats, sushi and nigiri, Nikkei-inspired dishes, and Mediterranean specialties. Executive Chef Issam Rhachi brings a contemporary approach to the savory side, while Pastry Chef Oussama Sadiq handles dessert — and that is not a section to approach lightly. This is where discipline goes to retire.
What makes this brunch especially appealing for families is the Brunch & Pool package, plus free Kids Club access for children aged 4 to 8. There is even a dedicated lunch designed just for them, which is the kind of detail parents will appreciate more deeply than the children will ever understand.
Best for: luxury family brunch, pool access, mountain views, golf-course scenery, sushi, Mediterranean dishes, and a newer upscale brunch experience in Marrakech.
Prices:
880 MAD per person, excluding drinks
450 MAD for children aged 8 to 12
350 MAD for children aged 4 to 8
Brunch & Pool package:
1100 MAD per person, excluding drinks
580 MAD for children
Lagon & Jardin at Es Saadi: Chic Sunday Brunch in Hivernage
For a stylish Sunday in Hivernage, Lagon & Jardin at the Palace Es Saadi is one of the most tempting brunches in Marrakech. After a full renovation, the restaurant has returned with a fresh new look and a sunny, healthy, Mediterranean-inspired menu.
The brunch combines good food, pool time, and a long elegant afternoon in one of the city’s loveliest settings. It is the kind of place where we say we are “just going for brunch,” then quietly cancel every plan afterward because the pool is right there and ambition is overrated.
There are three ways to enjoy it: brunch only, brunch with children’s Kids Club access and lunch, or the full brunch-and-pool experience. The atmosphere is refined, the setting is idyllic, and the portions are generous enough that your afternoon may naturally dissolve into lounging.
The brunch is open to everyone, including non-resident guests, but reservations are essential.
Best for: chic Hivernage Sundays, pool access, refined Mediterranean-inspired food, family-friendly options, and elegant brunch without leaving the city.
Prices:
850 MAD per person for brunch only
+250 MAD for children accompanying an adult, including Kids Club access and lunch
1350 MAD per person for brunch with access to the palace’s swimming pool
