This fabulous old-school palace restaurant is set in a huge riad beautifully designed by famed interiors designer Bill Willis (who decorated the homes of many Marrakech celebrities in the 1970s). It was one of the first Medina addresses to offer a fixed-price, multi-course gastronomic Moroccan diffa (feast) and 20 years on its lost none of its glamour. Take an aperitif to Dar Yacout’s panoramic roof terrace or theglowing first floor salon where musicians skilfully play the oud, then settle down for an extravagant feast in one of the lavishly decorated dining rooms where you’ll be served an array of salads, a richly flavoured tagine, couscous, sweet bastilla and finally tea and Moroccan cookies.

Come hungry for the five-course traditional Moroccan feast served at this restaurant located deep in the medina. Aperitifs are taken on the rooftop, which has stunning panoramic views of the Koutoubia Mosque, and then you can choose to dine beside the pool on the lanterned terrace, in a vaulted upstairs room, or in the lush, cushion-filled main salon. Dinner, including drinks, costs 700 DH and courteous, discreet waiters in white djellabas and red fezzes scurry about to fulfill your every need.

Tucked away in a quieter northern quarter of the Medina, Dar Yacout is the most splendid of Marrakech’s palace restaurants. It inhabits an enormous 18th-century riad, which was decorated by genius interiors designer Bill Willis for owner Mohamed Zkhiri, who served as an honorary British Consul for nearly two decades. Heads of state, celebrities and society names like the Rockefellers and Agnellis have all passed through its opulent salons and dined beside its romantic courtyard pool.

Described as a ‘Medina institution’, Dar Yacout is one of the most popular Marrakech restaurants. Diners are drawn in by its combination of theatrical design and unforgettable cooking. Originally designed by architect Bill Willis, an American expat to Morocco, the restaurant has reinventions of classic Moroccan design motifs, which give the impression of being in a fantasy palace from the Arabian Nights.

So why not work in a hot air balloon ride (Champagne toast and Moroccan breakfast, included), a shopping trip to the souks at Jamaa el Fna square with a master negotiator, a visit to the gilded Saadian Tombs, a dinner at Yacout (the restaurant has one of the most picturesque riads in the city), or ride into the sunset on camelback. To maximize the experience, we’ve partnered with Black Tomato, the luxury travel company we’ve tasked with putting together one-of-a-kind vacations many times, on the ideal seven-day itinerary—this is the first in a series of goop x Black Tomato trips you can book as is (or fine-tune to fit your taste), some that are once-in-a-lifetime adventures (see GP’s trip to Iceland), others that are long weekend-worthy escapes (Tokyo and Kyoto).
