Restaurant in Dakhla: Lagoon-Front Dining at the Paillote of Palais Rhoul

Facing the calm waters of the Dakhla lagoon, embraced by desert dunes and the Atlantic wind, our Paillote offers a singular dining experience. As the signature restaurant of Palais Rhoul Dakhla, this open-air space reflects our culinary vision: sincere, seasonal, and anchored in nature. Beneath a handwoven wooden canopy, illuminated by soft candlelight in the evening, every meal becomes a quiet celebration of place and flavor.

​

Tucked between ocean and desert, the Paillote embodies the spirit of the house—a blend of raw beauty, artisanal design, and sensory pleasure. Light filters gently through the roof, the breeze cools the air, and time itself seems to soften.

​

Our cuisine draws from the sea and the land. Fresh fish and lobsters arrive daily from our own boat, ensuring exceptional quality and transparency.

Vegetables are hand-harvested from our on-site greenhouses each morning. In the kitchen, Rachida—our beloved cook—transforms these ingredients into dishes that balance tradition and creativity. From Berber-style starters to grilled seafood, fire-cooked meats, and vegetarian mezze, every plate reflects the essence of Saharan and Moroccan flavors.

​

The Paillote is more than a restaurant—it’s a living space. Whether you join us for a romantic dinner, a laid-back lunch with friends, or a simple meal after yoga or kitesurfing, the ambiance is always welcoming and relaxed. Bohemian-chic and natural, it invites barefoot dining, warm conversation, and full presence.

​

Service is discreet and warm, without unnecessary formality. Enjoy a detox juice after your morning session or savor a glass of Moroccan wine as the sun sets. With your feet in the sand and your eyes on the water, every bite becomes part of a deeper sensory journey.

Guests particularly enjoy our grilled catch of the day, fresh garden salads, and seasonal fruit desserts. There is no fixed menu—the offerings evolve every three days, guided by what the sea and soil provide. This rhythm respects seasonality, supports conscious eating, and keeps each experience fresh.

​

Our kitchen is happy to accommodate your dietary needs—vegetarian, light, or adapted to your preferences. It’s a cuisine of simplicity, truth, and love.

Reserve your table in Dakhla and experience a unique moment where nature, taste, and atmosphere align. Whether solo, as a couple, or with loved ones, the Paillote is a place to reconnect—with food, with the earth, and with yourself.
