Dine at Palais Rhoul Dakhla: A Gourmet Oasis in the Heart of the Desert

Nestled between the turquoise lagoon and the rolling sands of the Sahara, the restaurant of Palais Rhoul Dakhla invites guests to experience a new form of luxury dining: organic, local, and deeply rooted in its environment. Far more than a traditional restaurant in Dakhla, it offers a sensory journey where flavors from land and sea come together under the Moroccan sun. Every meal is a celebration of nature’s abundance, the rhythm of the seasons, and the region’s rich culinary heritage.

A Signature Restaurant in Dakhla’s Most Iconic Eco-Lodge

The Palais Rhoul Dakhla is renowned not only as one of the most beautiful eco-luxury hotels in Morocco, but also for its exceptional dining experience. With views over the lagoon and desert dunes, our restaurant is housed in a century-old building—Dakhla’s oldest property—entirely restored to become a sanctuary of elegance and authenticity. Here, architecture, art de vivre and gastronomy come together to offer something truly unique in North Africa.

Fresh, Organic, and Locally-Sourced Cuisine

Every dish served at the Palais Rhoul restaurant is prepared with organic ingredients, hand-picked daily from our own greenhouses and nearby farms. No imported goods, no industrial shortcuts—only fresh seasonal vegetables, herbs, and fruits, grown under the sun of the Moroccan south.

The seafood served comes straight from the source. Our private fishing boat leaves every morning before sunrise and returns with fresh catches: Atlantic sea bass, grouper, sole, octopus, and more. Langoustines and lobsters are grilled to order, and oysters are delivered directly from the local oyster farm, shucked just hours before they’re plated.

This dedication to quality is carried out by Rachida, our chef and culinary soul of the house. With her deep knowledge of Moroccan flavors and respect for raw ingredients, she creates menus that reflect the spirit of our Dakhla eco-lodge: generous, soulful, and free from artifice.

Dining Options Tailored to Your Stay

We offer two organic dining packages to guests staying at our luxury hotel in Dakhla:

• Organic Half Board: At 350 MAD per person per day (excluding drinks), this includes breakfast and a gourmet dinner on the terrace.

• Organic Full Board: At 600 MAD per person per day (excluding drinks), this option covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It allows you to fully immerse yourself in our culinary experience without constraints.

Please note that the chosen meal plan must be confirmed at the time of booking. Red lobster and certain premium dishes are available with a supplementary fee.

No Room Service – By Design

In keeping with the spirit of the Palais Rhoul Dakhla, a place designed to encourage human connection and mindful living, we do not offer room service or in-room minibars. Instead, our guests are invited to gather in our lounges and shaded terraces between 7:30 PM and 11:30 PM. Here, the atmosphere is casual yet elegant, and conversations flow as easily as the sea breeze. This is a true maison d’hôtes, not just a luxury hotel.

A View Like No Other: Lagoon, Sky, and Silence

Our open-air thatched dining area offers one of the most breathtaking views in Dakhla: the still waters of the lagoon blending into the distant Atlantic, framed by desert hills. The play of light at sunset, the softness of the air, and the serenity of the landscape make each meal a moment suspended in time.

Moroccan and Atlantic Inspirations on Every Plate

Our menus rotate every three days and reflect the freshest available produce. While we avoid publishing a fixed menu, dishes typically include Moroccan classics revisited with finesse, Mediterranean influences, and original creations based on our daily catch.

Whether you're vegan, pescatarian, or simply a lover of authentic cuisine, you'll find plates designed to please and surprise.

Sustainability Is Not a Trend—It’s a Philosophy

At the Palais Rhoul Dakhla, sustainability is not a marketing claim but a lived reality. From the use of driftwood and recycled materials in our decor to solar heating and zero-waste kitchen practices, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to reduce our ecological impact.

Our firewood, for instance, comes from olive groves managed by our sister property in Marrakech. Our fishing respects seasonal quotas. And our chefs adapt daily to what nature provides—never the other way around.

Book Your Table in Dakhla’s Most Exceptional Restaurant

Whether you're staying with us or simply passing through, you are welcome to reserve a table at the Palais Rhoul Dakhla. Dining here is not just about nourishment—it is a moment to reconnect with the essentials, to taste the sea in your food, and to witness the power of simplicity done well.

We invite you to experience the true soul of Dakhla through the cuisine of its most iconic hotel. Let your tastebuds travel as far as your soul.
