The Tea Rooms in Marrakech
An irresistible gourmet interlude by Pierre Hermé
« The only way to escape temptation is to give in to it » said Oscar Wilde.
This is advice we are more than happy to heed when faced with Pierre Hermé's irresistible sweet indulgences. And if you must choose, then choose between the charming Menzeh par Pierre Hermé in the heart of the Gardens or the dazzling Andalusian patio.
At any time of day, La Mamounia's tea rooms invite you to slow down and enjoy an indulgent break away from it all.
To satisfy both sweet and savoury cravings, Pierre Hermé has put together a menu that will delight both lovers of the great classics - macarons, madeleines and other divine pastries - as well as the curious in search of new gourmet sensations.
Time out in one of La Mamounia's tea rooms is an experience in which the exceptional talent of one of the world's greatest pastry chefs works wonders. For proof all you need do is taste his exclusive creations for La Mamounia, whose sources of inspiration are a tribute to the sheer wealth of Morocco's culinary heritage.
Pierre Hermé's menu offers sweet and savoury delights at any hour.
In the morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast of tasty traditional or signature pastries, accompanied by a hot drink, fresh fruit juice, seasonal fruit and Ispahan yoghurt.
For those who want to revel in the unique lunchtime ambience, the tearoom offers light, refined fare including chicken or vegetarian sandwiches, lobster rolls, croque-monsieur, the Pierre Hermé beef burger, Caesar-style salads with either chicken, grilled prawns or lobster enhanced with subtle notes of grapefruit and fresh coriander... And all this can be superbly rounded off with a dessert from a delectable selection of fruity, caramelised or chocolate variations.
Emblematic of La Mamounia's art de vivre, the Pierre Hermé afternoon tea experience remains a gourmet highlight for its many devotees. Here too, there is a vast choice of options, each more tantalising than the last. Enjoy a sweet and savoury assortment, enhanced with a champagne cocktail, that includes mini smoked salmon, vegetarian or Caesar-style sandwiches, madeleines, individual desserts and, of course, Pierre Hermé's iconic macaroons, including his exclusive creations for La Mamounia, the Date and Earl Grey and Amlou Macarons.
