Marrakesh Palace

A few minutes walk from Dupont Circle's metro station, you'll step into a very interesting dining experience...

 Marrakesh Palace doesn't look much outside, but don't be deceived.
As a start, you'll get a huge serving of olives and bread.
 You'll marvel at the cushioned seats, lamps, torches and the intricate designs on the wall.
A fountain center piece.
The restaurant's set up and design creates a feeling that you're not in DC anymore.

  2. Love themed restaurants. I once went inside a blah exterior of a restaurant but inside was like a Moroccan tent. It enhances the dining experience.

  4. I've tried a number of Moroccan dishes but haven't dined inside a Moroccan restaurant like that. Normally, the food comes from caterers or colleagues. It must be an interesting experience to check that themed restaurant.

  6. I've never had Moroccan cuisine.
    But when I think of Moroccan food I am reminded of that Ben Stiller movie "Along Came Polly" where he had a date with Polly at a Moroccan resto and unfortunately his tummy didn't quite agree with the food! he he he

  9. @ Bittersweet, Thank you, and I do love photography and hope to get better.

    @ Photo Cache, I agree. The decor and theme enhances the mood for me.

    @ Kg, Yes, the interior is really nice.

    @ Wits, The restaurant theme really created a great mood for eating. There's belly dancing every night at that place, but we ate too early.

    @ Daphne, Yes, I remember that movie. This restaurant served their food on plates. Their food is quite spicy and lots of herbs. Thank goodness I don't IBS...lol.

    @ Ibyang and Kate, I love olives to.
