Hi Magnus,
Le Bristol would be really a good choice. It’s the old fashioned kind of gastronomy ,very different from Noma, but i really liked it. Also, you just must go to Agapé Substance, i wrote about it on my blog. Le Comptoir du Relais could be a good casual bistro choice where you can walk in. Recently i also enjoyed Le Chardenoux des Prés, it’s a bistro owned by a French celebrity chef Cyril Lignac. I don’t know if you like seafood, but Le Duc (243 Boulevard Raspail 75014 Paris, 01 43 20 96 30 ) has been always one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. Again, it’s been there for ages, but the seafood quality at Le Duc is superb.
I am going to Paris today for the weekend, I will let you know if I have more tips to share!

Hi Marc,
Royal Mansour was probably one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed.I don’t know if you stay there, but you should have a walk in all the building anyway – simply breathtaking. Regarding the French restaurant, it was very good, but you know how it is with those famous chefs restaurants spin offs (in this case Yannick Alleno), they are never as good as the original.(but you will pay similar price as at Le Meurice in Paris) The hotel has another restaurant, La Grande Table Marocaine, which serves fine Moroccan cuisine. That one was really excellent.
I would also recommend the restaurants of La Mamounia hotel.(and the Moroccan, and the French). Apart of that, i didn’t explore much Marrakech, but I heard that the restaurant at Es Saadi Palace hotel is not bad.
Anyway, anywhere you go, Marrakech is amazing,I hope you will enjoy it!

Thanks, Marc!
