Our story

Morocco, the way we have always lived it

More than a restaurant, Bigua is a true family table — where every dish tells a story.

Just a few steps from the famous Medersa Ben Youssef, in the heart of the Marrakech Medina, Bigua Café & Restaurant invites you to discover the authenticity of Moroccan cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Inspired by recipes handed down from generation to generation, our menu honours the traditional dishes our grandmothers and mothers prepared with passion, using fresh ingredients and flavours that taste unmistakably of Morocco. And to please every palate, we also offer a carefully chosen selection of international specialities.

“A true family table, where every dish tells a story.”

— The spirit of the Bigua house

From the salon to the rooftop

The house unfolds like the Medina itself: a salon draped in red voile over traditional tiled floors, quiet corners made for lingering over tea, a staircase climbing toward the light — and up top, a pergola-shaded rooftop terrace above the old city's rooftops.

More than a restaurant, Bigua is a true family table where every dish tells a story — a chance for our guests to savour Morocco the way we have always lived it and shared it in our own home.
