Mama Beldi

With fifteen years’ experience of tables d’hôte at Riad Chamali, we are now offering at our new Moroccan host table, a cuisine for all gourmands staying in Marrakesh. 

At lunchtime or for dinner, come and discover the tastes of our typically Moroccan dishes, prepared with love and know-how.  All our products are fresh and locally sourced.  Where ever possible, we favour producers who take up organic farming, which is increasingly popular in Morocco. 

To experience Mama Beldi, is to discover the quality and authenticity of Moroccan cuisine, imbued with its typically delicate spices.  Four rooms welcome you: the tables are low, the seating light and comfortable.  The walls are decorated with ochre mud brick, or whitewash, the Tataoui ceilings have been traditionally crafted in wood and bamboo using ancient building techniques.  The crystal chandelier lighting gives a modern touch to the very ‘beldi’ decoration.

 A menu of the day is offered, showcasing the best produce from the market, and the restaurant’s à la carte menu, with our great classic dishes, is also available.

Our Moroccan pastries, adapted to suit our sugar-sensitive palates, are made by women from the Berrima neighbourhood.  This collaboration helps to develop links between our establishment and the local female population, often far away from the tourist boom of Marrakesh. 

A food wastage compost project is underway, in partnership with a local organic vegetable producer. 

The host table can be reserved for festive events.

Opening Hours: uninterrupted service from 08:00 to 23:00, 7 days a week.

Should you wish to, you might also make the taste experience last longer by spending the night at our guest house, so to sample our traditional Moroccan breakfast (depending on the availability of Riad Chamali).
