WHERE TO EAT in Marrakesh
1 LE JARDIN Behind this 16th century wooden door is one of Marrakesh’s best cafes, a hub for creatives drawn to the mash-up of Moroccan and international influences (tagines of every stripe sit alongside curries and burgers). Don’t be surprised if a book launch or art exhibition is in progress. lejardinmarrakech.com
