Fodor's Expert Review Ling Ling

Just south of the Palmery, 7 km (4½ miles) east of the city on Route de Ouarzazate, the Mandarin Oriental is home to Ling Ling Cantonese, one of the finest dining experiences in Marrakesh. The Moroccan-inspired decor may lead diners to believe they have stepped into an emporium of Moroccan gastronomy, but the menu actually features mouth-watering Cantonese cuisine prepared in the open kitchen. On warmer evenings grab a seat on the terrace for views of the pool garden, which is magically lit by lanterns that silhouette the surrounding palm trees. Alcohol is served.
