"This secret garden lies opposite the small railway station. The welcoming restaurant is the den of a youthful team, led by an ambitious, talented and seasoned chef, Gilles Leininger. In addition to his signature “artichoke” recipe, which won a prize at the 2019 Bocuse d’Or competition, he crafts dishes that keep pace with market availability and his inspiration: roasted scallops, Jerusalem artichoke and truffles; turbot in a Tom Yam sauce; squab and duck foie gras pie… The other secret of this contemporary-styled establishment is its exquisite leafy patio in the back garden." - Michelin Inspector

Beautiful garden hidden behind a street, well worth a visit. Also worth paying the extra 40MAD to go up the tower, good view of the city from there. The garden is well designed and creates a sense of calm and peacefulness. I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the garden offers shade, essential in the heat of the day. There is seating if you wish to use them, have a rest and think. Many different varieties of plants and trees. Cafe was nice looking but I didn’t try it. Recommend you visit. Less enjoyable when there are many visitors so I suggest you go there early in morning or late in the afternoon

My wife wanted to take pictures in the garden and this location was just the place for it. Book ahead. Beautiful scenery where you can enjoy nature while learning a thing or two at the same time. I went round scanning bar codes for some desert plants on display... Beautiful place to enjoy the morning or sunset.

A place of tranquility and coolness in the midst of Marrakesh. We used it as a base so one of us could shop and one of us could rest. The food was good and the gardens and buildings just beautiful. Some really interesting plants in the international section. The staff were very nice and made the whole experience feel five star.

Although the entry price is a bit steep we thought this place was beautiful, interesting and well worth the visit (we didn't feel ripped off). Watching the video of how it was transformed around 10 years ago made us realise quite how much work went into making this garden look as amazing as it does now. The video is well worth watching from the start (it's at the far end under the arches and alternatives with subtitles in English and French). Despite it not being very big, there is still plenty to see in there. Make sure you don't miss the view from the upstairs terrace - we didn't pay extra for the tower tour.

A fantastic garden well worth a visit if you are staying in Marrakech but I would advise going at 9.30 when it opens to avoid the heat and the worst of the crowds. Worth paying the extra 40MAD to go up the tower and the cafe is worth a visit.

Beautiful garden and lots of plants to learn about! Fascinating information on how the water system is an extension from the atlas mountains! Nice little cafe inside too. Quite spots to enjoy some peace and tranquility, to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Complete rip-off. They charge 100MAD for the entry and the truth is , I have seen more beautiful and bigger gardens at my friends' residences. They have a cafe that serves good drinks and that's the only reason that I gave a one star rating.

A bit of a hidden gem! You need to prebook tickets online, and the entrance fee for foreigners is 100 dirhams. Card payment is accepted. It’s a beautiful garden filled with a wide variety of plants. It’s also a perfect place to escape the heat, with plenty of shaded spots and two cafés on site offering reasonably priced food and drinks. Highly recommended for a relaxing visit!
