Riad Enija

Marrakech, Morocco

Eating

The assault on your senses continues at dinnertime, with the heady aromas of cumin, coriander and saffron drifting out into the moonlit evening. Trace them back into the kitchen and you can freely watch the riad’s cook at work – always a reassuring sign (not to mention a free lesson in Moroccan cuisine).

If olive-filled tagines and robust local cabernets are not your style, you can pre-order an international menu, or specify a particular diet. Or just let yourself in for a ‘surprise dish’. Dine inside at a mosaic, candle-lit table, or outside in the garden courtyard to the sound of twittering birdsong and distant muezzin.

Either way, leave enough space for a healthy and delightfully presented breakfast: homemade bread, delicious herby omelettes, pancakes, fresh fruit and orange juice.

If you prefer to dine in town, there is no shortage of options and staff can advise - or see our suggestions.

Save to favouritesPrintMailRiad EnijaImagine a young girl walking with a ginger cat and a large dog through an exotic leafy courtyard to see ‘Lion’, ‘Chameleon’ or ‘Prince’. It sounds like an extract from a Lewis Carroll book, but it's a real scene in Marrakech’s most fairytale hotel. The girl is Enija, daughter of Swedish architect Bjorn Conerdings and Swiss designer Ursula Haldimann. The setting is a 200-year-old silk-traders’ palace (also named Enija), transformed by Bjorn and Ursula into an ultra-stylish maison d’hotes. Lion, Chameleon and Prince are 3 of the 15 spacious and meticulously decorated [r:MC003:rooms and suites] (fabrics and colours by Ursula, structure by Bjorn). The animals are the family pets. And the exotic courtyard? Well, you can see for yourself. There's more - tropical gardens, burbling fountains - around every corner. But the magic does not stop there: step outside and you are in the heart of Marrakech’s humming souks, colourful alleys and bustling bazaars.
