Le Tanjia — Marrakech
Moroccan restaurant
Le Tanjia is a traditional Moroccan restaurant in the Mellah district of Marrakech's medina, set on Place des Ferblantiers between El Badi Palace and Bahia Palace. Named after the tanjia — the slow-cooked Marrakchi specialty — it occupies a converted house spread over three floors around a central courtyard, with dark-wood décor and a rooftop terrace overlooking the historic Mellah.
The kitchen serves classic Moroccan dishes such as tanjia and mechoui (slow-roasted lamb), and the venue is known for its evening oriental entertainment, including belly-dance performances. It is open daily and sits about a ten-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna.
