"Marrakech's Eponymous Parisian-Style Brasserie It would be almost churlish to come to Marrakech and not experience Grand Café de la Poste. After opening in the 1920s, it fast became a lively brasserie and meeting place, and much of the rest of the neighborhood sprung up around it, establishing Gueliz as the city’s most fashionable quarter. After a revamp in 2005 brought a breezy, colonial-style vibe to the verandas (a smashing spot for an alfresco lunch) and transformed the first floor into a luxe wood-paneled bar complete with real log fireplaces, leather armchairs, and crimson rugs, it is today one the city’s most iconic haunts. The food is reassuringly comfortable, too, with staunchly Parisian dishes such asleeks vinaigrette, skate wing with beurre blanc and capers, and crisp-skinned roast baby chicken and chips topping the bill."

We had an early dinner, so the place was busy without being crowded. It was filling up as we left, just after 8.30pm.
There's not a huge vegetarian choice, so we had a couple of starters plus sides to make up a meal. The food was tasty, well presented & good value. We had burrata plus the roasted camembert, so a bit cheesy, but very enjoyable.
The building is great & the service was good. My wife reports that the toilets were spotless!
We're planning to go back as it was a great experience.

This is such a lovely place for drinks, coffee or a meal. The location is perfect for those staying in the newer part of town and the service is very kind. We had some excellent wine, and an onion and anchovy tart, which was absolutely delicious. The Gueliz neighborhood s a lovely departure from the chaos of the Medina. Many famous people have enjoyed spending time at this cafe including Winston Churchill, Jean Paul Sartre and Yves Saint Laurent, and I can see why they loved it. Every detail is considered from the terrace to the bathrooms. It is understated but elegant.

Great place, great food, great music! Looks deceptively dingy from the outside but don’t let that fool you - the inside is elegant and refined. Food is amazing and we caught a jazz set that perfectly meshed with the whole vibe. Heartfelt recommendation!

Had a great history lesson from Fatima. This 1917 post office show re purposed many times. Eventually becoming a very dining and drinking experience.

This has a lovely, almost colonial, feel to it.
We stopped in for a late lunch and were seated right away. For some reason it took a while for them to take our order with one of the waitresses not wanting to deal with us. It didn't really matter as we were in no rush this time.
We ordered lightly and the quality of the food we had was extremely well done and presented.
Once they got going, the service was very good and our waiter quite attentive.
The price for what we had was acceptable.
Would happily come back.

Stumbled across it in the afternoon heat and went in for a drink, was so good we stayed for two. Truly beautiful everywhere inside, especially the top floor. Service was excellent and staff all wonderful and welcoming. We did not eat on this occasion but menu looked fantastic so we will be back! I highly recommend the spritz melon.
