Restaurants & Bars

The Oriental restaurant is the heart of the gastronomy at Heure Bleue Palais – an elegant Moroccan lounge with a sophisticated, yet cosy atmosphere welcoming its guests on a culinary stepping stone to the realm of exotic flavours.

Ahmed Handour, young Head Chef of the Heure Bleue Palais kitchens, offers a nightly menu which is both authentic and of highest gastronomic standards, serving modern and inventive cuisine that combines to perfection the creativity of classic Moroccan cuisine. On weekends the atmosphere is more festive with theme nights like the Oriental evening on Fridays. We offer endless options in the discovery of new flavours in a magical place.Today’s Essaouirian cuisine by Ahmed Handour

The English Lounge is open throughout the day and in the evening, welcoming its guests in a warm atmosphere with Colonial-inspired decor, precious woods, leather and Oriental rugs. It's good to share a moment in front of the fireplace with a cocktail, a selection of authentic teas or finest spirits and liqueurs.

In the evening, the Kemia extends the time of the aperitif in the Salon Anglais with a selection of Oriental tapas and a fabulous selection of wines and cocktails.

It is not widely known that Kemia are Oriental tapas which are prepared from the seafood market, perfect to accompany a time with friends around a fire with the additional discovery of Moroccan wines.

The Terrace Grill is located on the top floor roof terrace of Heure Bleue Palais. Here - between deck and pool - you can while away the afternoon in the open-air restaurant with fantastic views and light menu revolving around the sea.

When the buffet - prepared each day at dawn in the heart of the house - sends out the delicious aroma of toast and Argan oil, it is the moment for all guests to come together and marvel at the rich tradition of the Moroccan morning meal alongside Western classics.

At breakfast Heure Bleue Palais offers:

Homemade pastries and Moroccan breads,

homemade jams, fresh fruit salad, homemade yoghurt, cheeses, cold meats, cereals, Essaouira smoked salmon, dried fruits, local honey ... without forgetting eggs : hard or soft boiled, scrambled, omelettes ... or Moroccan specialties like M'semen - small cakes made with semolina flour, Beghir or pancakes with ‘1000 holes’ and Amlou, a traditional Moroccan spread made with almonds and Argan oil.
