Welcome to l'atelier
Modern concept in the heart of Essaouira's Medina.
About
A trendy space in the heart of Essaouira’s Medina
Since 2017, l’Atelier has been a unique, multi-faceted space in Essaouira. First a trendy concept store organized into corners dedicated to local crafts, then a convivial café/tea room with a gourmet menu, and finally a cooking and tasting workshop where the scents of Moroccan culinary art float. At the entrance to the medina, this neo-industrial space occupies the first floor of a vast former almond warehouse.
