The restaurant at Ksar Ighnda promises a truly local and traditional culinary experience. The produce is fresh and local, with vegetables and herbs from the Riad's kitchen garden, meat from the region, and goat's cheese made by women at the local cheese dairy.
More than just Moroccan, the cuisine here is Berber and marked by the Atlas mountains, a cuisine deeply rooted in its territory.
In addition to these local dishes, our restaurant near Ouarzazate and Aït Ben Haddou also serves international cuisine.
From the more intimate dining room with its magnificent light fittings made of blown glass beads from Syria for guests looking for privacy, to the larger rooms on the garden side with a view of the swimming pool or on the valley side with a view of the mountains, there are 4 different dining areas in all, each with its own special atmosphere.
The large dining room, next to the swimming pool, has an open buffet and can accommodate groups.
From Nadia, who takes care of all the Moroccan dishes that come out of the kitchen, especially the tajines, to Mohamed, the baker, and Khadija, the pastry chef, the kitchen teams are all at the service of the Riad's guests.
