Royal Mansour Marrakech unveils a new Sunday brunch experience at La Grande Brasserie, guided by the celebrated culinary vision of Hélène Darroze. Designed as a refined yet welcoming gathering for families and friends, the brunch celebrates generous seasonal cuisine in a warm and elegant setting. Each Sunday, guests are invited to savour a leisurely afternoon where French culinary tradition meets the vibrant flavours of Morocco.
The experience begins in the charming Bars’ Patio, where a seafood counter presents an abundant display of delicacies from Morocco’s coast and terroir. Tan-Tan prawns, Oualidia oysters, and spider crab are artfully arranged alongside smoked salmon and homemade fish rillettes. This opening act sets the tone for a brunch that celebrates freshness, craftsmanship, and the pleasures of shared dining.
A carefully curated selection of charcuterie and cheeses follows, highlighting exceptional ingredients and classic pairings. Guests can enjoy delicacies such as air-dried duck chorizo, Cecina de León, and bresaola, accompanied by a refined assortment of French cheeses. Among the highlights is Hélène Darroze’s signature chicken pie with duck foie gras and pistachios, a dish that embodies the chef’s rich and indulgent approach to comfort cuisine.
The journey continues with starters inspired by timeless French classics, subtly reinterpreted for the occasion. The iconic Niçoise salad with tuna belly and devilled eggs topped with Cantabrian anchovies stand alongside fresh seasonal salads and flame-grilled vegetables. Each plate celebrates simple ingredients elevated through thoughtful preparation and vibrant flavours.
Guests are then invited to enjoy a selection of signature dishes served at the table, showcasing the chef’s distinctive culinary style. Free-range Landes chicken and delicate John Dory fillet are among the highlights, accompanied by comforting classics such as macaroni gratin and other lovingly prepared creations. The menu balances indulgence with authenticity, reflecting the spirit of generous French home cooking.
No Sunday brunch would be complete without a tribute to the pleasures of breakfast classics. An assortment of pastries, including Hélène Darroze’s famous XXL pain au chocolat, is served alongside yoghurts and granola. These sweet notes offer a comforting finale to a brunch that celebrates both tradition and creativity.
Families are warmly welcomed, with younger guests enjoying their own dedicated station filled with playful delights. Fresh waffles, crêpes, candy floss, and a chocolate fountain bring a sense of joy to the occasion. At La Grande Brasserie, Sunday becomes more than a meal—it becomes a moment of togetherness where gastronomy, family spirit, and the elegance of Royal Mansour Marrakech come together.
