Superb place, well hidden from the hustle and bustle of the medina with large spaces and its swimming pool. For dinner, the menu is quite limited but follows local codes. The major concern, apparently not the only one to notice it, is the lack, even the absence of light at the table. Unable to read the card, everyone present used their phone light to both decipher the card and understand what was in the dishes. It’s a shame that the owner didn’t take this inconvenience into account, the rating would have been higher

I have walked past over the years but not entered. Tonight Palais Donat seemed to be one of only a few restuarants open. The rest possibly are closed because of Ramada but Palais Donat was open. In a beautiful former home of an advisor to Pasha Glouie the menu is traditionally Moroccan but well executed. I had a light meal of briouats and sea food pastilla washed down with a half bottle of wine.

This is the first restaurant we ever ate in on our first trip to Morocco , and we always come back when we are in Marrakesh.
The setting is so romantic, the food is wonderful and mainly Moroccan and the staff are very friendly and professional, and now know what we want to eat before we do.
This is a fantastic place to eat, or just for a peaceful drink on the terrace to escape from the bustle of the Medina. We always come back here and can't recommend the Palais Donab highly enough.

Well-kept and atmospheric environment, with a beautiful fireplace, inside a refined Riad. The menu features Moroccan and international cuisine. Good and balanced flavors, courteous service. Really tasty chicken “brochettes” and excellent fillet.
To be recommended.

Amazing place, inside a hotel. Simple but friendly service, one flaw is the slowness. Good food.
If you visit the souks of Marrakech it is a recommended stop.
Slightly high price

The fabulous Jana at Riad Agiaviva recommended this for our last dinner in Marrakesh. A lovely restaurant where we had a table in the courtyard by the pool. We tried the Moroccan salad, assorted briouates and Tanjia marrakchia with chicken which was superb. Lovely ambience and good service made for a wonderful evening. Fine dining at a reasonable price. Highly recommend

Very nice place to eat... around a swimming pool with orange trees. We were served quickly. The wine was good as was the food. I recommend the chicken tanjia. We made it our "canteen" three evenings in a row and will return there if we return to Marrakech.

We stumbled across Dar Donab for lunch having spent the morning in the busy souks! And we are so glad we did! What a find! Beautiful setting in a little courtyard by the pool. I had the vegetarian couscous and hubbie had the Moroccan salad. Both delicious. Service attentive. All just lively! Would recommend!

Oh so bad....even allowing for Ramadan challenges. Poorly done western and Moroccan food. Service was poor & music was too loud to enjoy 'fine dining' ambiance.

Hidden gem in the heart of Medina. Authentic Moroccan food. The atmosphere is great both indoors and outdoor on the terrace. We ate there twice during our stay and were not disappointed with selection of food or the service.

I love coming here for lunch it’s so lovely to sit outside and enjoy listening to birds chirping and dinner is also lovely to sit inside in a beautiful room and service is good and friendly staff.

We visited after our morning spa for lunch which was very good, I can recommend the lamb shish-kebab it was delicious. The surroundings were also beautiful it was lovely to sit in the sun. I did find it a little pricey for what it was.

I ate a moulded salad here full of corn and tomatoes and flavour. We ate lunch outside by the pool in the lovely sun. Service was friendly and menu had good options
