A new perspective on culinary traditions at La Grande Table Marocaine

To mark this new chapter, Chef Darroze is innovating while preserving the essence of Moroccan cuisine. The menu, now structured around different cooking methods – ceramics, terracotta, steam, and fire – celebrates the Kingdom’s cooking techniques. A new traditional oven has even been installed to bring out the best in meats and other emblematic dishes.
While respecting the quintessence of Moroccan flavours, Hélène Darroze adds her own personal touch. Whether with a signature tight jus or the subtle addition of Landes chicken to a tajine, she reinvents without ever betraying the deep roots of this cuisine, rich in history and emotion. “I will create and innovate on the basis of Moroccan culinary tradition, for which I have the greatest respect.”, she explains.
