From April 1st to 26, 2026, Le Jardin at Royal Mansour Marrakech welcomes Spanish chef Quique Dacosta for an exclusive culinary residency. Spring light, lush greenery, tables set in the shade of orange and olive trees: the scene is perfectly set. At this open-air restaurant in Marrakech, contemporary Spanish cuisine finds its place with the natural ease of a chef whose signature style inspires admiration.
A culinary language inspired by the sea, the land and Valencian heritage
Quique Dacosta crafts a cuisine rooted in the Valencian coast, perfected over the years into a singular and controlled expression. For this residency at Le Jardin at Royal Mansour Marrakech, he presents the defining elements of Spanish gastronomy with a direct and precise approach, free from unnecessary ornament.
Sea-driven flavours set the tone: a corn coca with red tuna, a delicately textured salmorejo, a roasted lobster accompanied by a sea urchin gratin. Rice dishes and paellas, the chef’s most recognisable signatures, sit alongside creations designed specially for Le Jardin. A vibrant menu, true to Quique Dacosta’s identity.
Le Jardin at Royal Mansour Marrakech: a naturally Mediterranean haven
Le Jardin and Quique Dacosta’s cuisine speak the same language. The midday light, the open-air tables and structured greenery create an environment that feels both open and serene, in natural harmony with a Mediterranean approach centred on the product.
At lunchtime, the service flows with ease and the atmosphere remains calm. Flavours unfold with simplicity, in dishes that find here, in the heart of the Ochre City, a setting that brings out their full character.
Chef Quique Dacosta : seven Michelin stars and an established presence in Morocco
A leading figure in international gastronomy, Quique Dacosta brings a vision that combines Valencian tradition with a bold avant-garde approach. Seven Michelin stars across his restaurants reflect a sustained commitment to excellence.
Morocco holds a special place in his journey. He already oversees two tables at Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay, making him a signature chef of the Collection. In Marrakech, he offers a more spontaneous approach, in direct dialogue with the spirit of Le Jardin restaurant.
For a few weeks, one of the most renowned Spanish chefs brings his cuisine to the heart of Royal Mansour Marrakech. A residency to discover from April 1st to 26, 2026, in one of the most iconic palaces of the Red City.
