Plus61 Marrakech

Plus61 sits on Rue Mohammed el Beqal, a fifteen-minute walk from the Koutoubia Mosque. The restaurant holds the number 41 ranking on The World’s 50 Best MENA list, a recognition that cements its standing in the local contemporary and creative scene.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but the real reason to choose Plus61 is its resistance to the city’s standard culinary tropes. While most tables near Jemaa el-Fna focus on traditional tagines, this venue prioritizes a fusion-forward approach that feels miles away from the nearby tourist path. The kitchen succeeds because it ignores the heavy, predictable rhythms of its neighbours in favour of a lighter, global register. It is the destination for anyone who finds the surrounding old-quarter options too exhausted by their own heritage to offer anything new.
