Mamounia Lounge

Much care has been taken to decorate Mamounia Lounge in the luxurious style its upmarket clientele are accustomed to. In the evocative entrance lounge raw silk cushions colourfully line plush, low-level seating, and dimmed lighting, candles, incense and black and white photos of Berber people create a very warm space for chic laidback lunches and exotic evenings where beautiful belly dancers move rhythmically to intoxicating Arabic music. The equally comfortable restaurant below serves traditional Moroccan, Lebanese and Mediterranean (with an emphasis on French, the nationality of the head chef) meals such tagines, fattoush and pan-fried duck. An interesting range of fusion dishes satisfies those in search of something new. If the generous portions make you want to skip dessert, suck on a shisha pipe in the upstairs bar instead.

Please note there is a minimum spend of £50 per person after 8pm and a cover charge of £10 per person, 7 days a week.
