Amal Association Restaurant Marrakech
The Amal Womens Training Centre and Moroccan Restaurant is an excellent choice for lunch in the new town, Gueliz. The quality of food served here is first rate. It’s been years since we first posted this recommendation and Amal has gone from strength to strength – it’s now so famous and popular that it’s hard to get a table – so make a reservation or arrive early!
Amal Association Marrakech
Amal – meaning “hope” in Arabic – is a training centre for disadvantaged women, where among other things, the students train in Moroccan cuisine and waitressing. Located in a villa in the hospital district of Gueliz, Amal offers outdoor seating in an enclosed, shaded garden and indoor seating for inclement weather days.
The menu changes each day, offering traditional Moroccan and fusion dishes including Moroccan salads, Goat Cheese and Tomato salad, briouattes, stir fries, tagines, lamb cutlets, liver with pureed potato, various fish dishes, and of course on Fridays, couscous. It is all very reasonably priced. You can call and order food to pick up, and they will also cater for events.
