The story
Lamjarred Boutique in Rabat channels Chef Yassine Lamjareed into a dedicated pastry cuisine that has drawn an 11.5 rating from Gault&Millau. The team builds every sweet around straightforward techniques and careful ingredient selection rather than complex presentations. Visitors watch the bakers work through glass panels that separate the production space from the main dining room. This transparency keeps the confectionery craft grounded in daily practice instead of hidden behind closed doors.
Weekend gatherings center on a structured menu that balances savory items with generous dessert spreads. Guests typically start with a salty cheddar waffle served alongside fried eggs, halal bacon, and a rich hollandaise sauce. The true strength of this dessert cuisine emerges in the baked goods, particularly the fluffy pancakes and a thick chocolate chip cookie that reviewers consistently highlight. These pastries anchor the offering while keeping portions practical for groups.
The restaurant occupies a contemporary setting inside the Prestigia Hay Riad complex, designed to accommodate both neighborhood regulars and visiting families. An animated tea salon fills the interior during busy periods, while a comfortable terrace extends the seating during warmer months. Staff move through the rooms with measured professionalism, ensuring orders reach tables without rushing the meal. The overall layout encourages lingering over coffee and shared plates within this pastry cuisine.
