Experience A Taste Of The Exotic While Enjoying Moroccan Food And Belly Dancers At Marrakesh In Washington

Moroccan food is a cuisine like no other. Typically a mix of Arabic, Andalusian, and Mediterranean cuisines with European influences, it's both exotic and exceptionally delicious. And if you live in Washington, there's no need to fly halfway around the world to try it -- just head to Seattle and make a reservation at Marrakesh.

Marrakesh is located in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood.

On a city block full of trendy bars and upscale eateries, it tends to blend in... but once you step inside, you'll see that it's anything but ordinary.

The interior looks straight out of Morocco, complete with richly textured colorful rugs, ornate silver urns, and tapestries.

The space is warm and inviting, and you'll be greeted like an old friend when you arrive.

When you dine here, prepare for an experience like no other.

The traditional five-course meal comes with hearty lentil soup, salad, and B’stilla Royale, a flaky appetizer best eaten with your hands. Then you get to choose a hearty entree and enjoy dessert and mint tea.

The food has delicious Mediterranean influences, so it's as healthy as it is tasty.

The Mediterranean diet is known worldwide for its health properties, and you'll find lots of lean protein and veggies on the menu.

But as phenomenal as the food is, it's the belly dancers that keep patrons coming back for more.

They perform almost every night in short, entertaining spurts.

Needless to say, this is a perfect date night spot as well as a great place to bring a small group.

Most of the dishes are served family style, so you can sample all kinds of exotic cuisine.

Marrakesh is open nightly for dinner from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Reservations are not required, but they are accepted and recommended for busy weekend nights.
