Step into the world of Moroccan cuisine at the legendary La Maison Arabe in Marrakech, a beloved culinary landmark that began in 1946 when two French women, Hélène Sébillon-Larochette and her daughter Suzy, opened the first restaurant accessible to foreigners in the Medina. With the blessing of Pasha Thami el Glaoui and the support of a palace chef, the women created a dining experience that quickly became one of the most acclaimed on the continent. Today, La Maison Arabe continues this tradition by offering engaging and accessible cooking workshops for all guests, whether you’re staying at the hotel or simply visiting Marrakech. Under the guidance of expert dadas—respected traditional Moroccan home cooks—you’ll learn the secrets of preparing authentic dishes using both classic methods and modern kitchen tools. From blending aromatic spices to perfecting the technique of slow-cooked tagines or crafting bright Moroccan salads, you’ll gain new culinary skills and insights. The experience culminates with a shared lunch where you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor, savoring recipes passed down through generations. A visit to La Maison Arabe is not just a cooking class—it’s a hands-on journey into the heart of Moroccan culinary heritage, set in one of the most historic and inspiring kitchens in Marrakech.
