Restaurant and bar in Gueliz, Moroccan and Mediterranean plates with live music every night
Folk is a restaurant and bar on Rue El Imam Chafii in Gueliz, Marrakech, built around a back-to-the-roots idea: vintage charm, heritage decor and Arabic music playing across the room.
The à la carte menu runs Moroccan, Oriental and Mediterranean, and there is a full bar. Live music carries the evening, so most tables fill later rather than early. Folk is open from 19:00 to 02:00, and tables can be reserved up to 01:00.
Reserve your table free through MaJourneys. You pay the restaurant directly on the night, nothing is charged online.
Folk in Marrakech is one of Gueliz's standout dinner-and-show venues, pairing traditional Moroccan cuisine with a rotating live programme of musicians, Gnawa performers, and belly dancers every evening.
The restaurant is set in the modern district of Gueliz, within walking distance of major hotels, making it an accessible option for an evening with entertainment.
Reviewers consistently single out the Gnawa sets and oriental dancers as a highlight, with the festive atmosphere described as genuinely Marrakchi rather than staged for tourists.
