10 of Marrakesh's Best Spots For Dessert
Morocco is known for its delicious food, such as the Friday speciality of couscous, the ever-present tagine, harira (a hearty tomato-based soup with chickpeas and lentils), and the local Marrakshi dish of tangia. But what about dessert? Satisfy your sugar cravings and sweet tooth by heading to some of these establishments for a delicious dessert experience in Marrakesh.
1. Venezia Ice
A great place to satisfy your craving for ice cream and get something sweet and cool to help combat the high Marrakesh summer temperatures, Venezia Ice is a popular ice cream shop in Gueliz. There are several branches of the Casablanca-based store around Morocco, including in Casablanca, Meknes, and Tetouan. You can flop into a wicker chair in the shaded seating area or grab an ice cream to go. Tempting flavours include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint, and pistachio. Whether you choose a homemade cone or a glass dish, the creamy goodness is sure to delight. Sorbets and ice cream cakes are among the other sweet treats to choose from, and there’s also a wide selection of drinks and light meals, such as paninis, too.

3. Panna Gelato Italiano
There are two branches of Panna Gelato Italiano in Marrakesh: one in the newer area of Gueliz and one in the old medina. The company sources fresh raw milk from local farms and pasteurises the milk itself before making the ice creams to ensure that quality is of a high standard. The homemade ice cream is organic, with no artificial additives. Seasonal fruits are used by the shop and spices are sourced from across the globe. Ice cream flavours include classics such as vanilla, chocolate, mint, and coffee, along with hazelnut, black cherry, coconut, pistachio, pine nut, saffron, date, almond, passion fruit, rose, liquorice, and more. Fruit sorbets also come in a wide array of flavours, including pineapple, fig, banana, apple, mango, peach, prune, kiwi, lemon, and watermelon. Try the Moroccan six-spice cream for something exotic and unusual.

7. Kaowa
Located close to the pretty Majorelle Gardens, Kaowa is a combination of a café and an art gallery. Grab a cup of coffee, a glass of tea, a smoothie, or a soda and admire the stylish surroundings while you wait for your food to arrive. Serving a variety of mains, including a few veggie-friendly dishes, and snacks, the dessert menu is also sure to entice. Various flavours of ice cream are ideal if you want something light, cool, and creamy. Baked apples with caramel, small bite-sized pastries stuffed with fruit or chocolate sauce, carrot cake, and fresh fruit are a few options for an injection of sweetness.

8. Winoo
A major selling point of Winoo is its quick and efficient service coupled with its laid-back vibe. Often busy, with a combination of locals and visitors, it’s a popular spot for a quick pizza, sandwich, salad, or tagine. Some of the inventive drinks could be classed as a dessert in their own right, with smoothies packed with large chunks of fruit, glasses brimming with cookies and cream, and thick, layered smoothies in an array of colours and flavours and topped with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, sprinkles, and more. Fancy a drink with added M&Ms, pieces of Kinder Bueno, or Snickers? No problem! Fruit salad and crepes are among the dessert items on the menu.
