Our Story

A Riad Born from Passion & Heritage

Nestled in the labyrinthine alleys of Rabat's historic medina, Dar El Medina is more than a restaurant — it is a living testament to Moroccan hospitality. Our riad-style setting, with its hand-painted zellige tiles, carved plaster ceilings, and fragrant orange blossoms, transports you to a world where time slows and every meal becomes a ceremony.

Our chefs honour centuries-old recipes passed down through families, using the finest locally sourced ingredients — saffron from Taliouine, argan oil from Sous, and preserved lemons crafted in our own kitchen.

An extraordinary experience in the heart of Rabat's medina. The lamb tagine was unlike anything I've ever tasted — layers of flavour, a beautiful riad setting, and impeccable service. A true culinary gem.

The cooking class was the highlight of my entire trip to Morocco. Chef Hassan walked us through every step with such warmth and expertise. I came home and cooked tagine for my whole family — they were astonished.

Dar El Medina is everything a Moroccan dining experience should be — stunning zellige, authentic recipes, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a cherished guest in someone's home. We'll return.
