Alajmo Brothers Pop-Up at Royal Mansour Marrakech

This winter, one of Marrakech’s most enchanting luxury hotels becomes the setting for a truly global culinary adventure. The Alajmo Brothers pop-up has arrived at Royal Mansour Marrakech, transforming the hotel’s lush Le Jardin into a stage for a borderless, Silk Road–inspired dining experience that spans continents, cultures, and flavours.

Running from December 19 through January 4, this limited-time collaboration brings the celebrated Italian chefs’ signature sense of curiosity and creativity to Morocco, offering guests an unforgettable journey that blends Asian, South American, African, Mediterranean, and Italian influences—all delivered with the Alajmo family’s unmistakable warmth and finesse.

A Borderless Culinary Vision Comes to Marrakech

Known for redefining modern Italian gastronomy, the Alajmo brothers approach cuisine as a language without borders. Drawing from their Venetian heritage and their passion for cultural exchange, the chefs have crafted a menu inspired by the historic routes of the Silk Road—where flavours, ingredients, and ideas flowed freely between East and West.

This philosophy finds a natural home at Le Jardin, Royal Mansour Marrakech’s open-air restaurant celebrated for its fresh, seasonal, Mediterranean and Asian-inspired cuisine. The pop-up feels like a seamless extension of Le Jardin’s exploratory spirit, while introducing an unexpected and playful expression of Italian mastery in a completely new culinary universe.

The Alajmo Brothers Pop-Up: A Meeting of Cultures

For the Alajmo family, food has always been about connection. As Raffaele Alajmo, CEO and Maître des Lieux of the Alajmo Group, explains, this menu was created to be “curious, free-spirited and adventurous—a journey of flavours that celebrates the connection between East and West.”

That sense of openness is felt in every dish. Global inspirations are reinterpreted through refined technique and thoughtful balance, resulting in cuisine that feels light, expressive, and deeply intentional. The pop-up captures the soul of Sesamo—the Alajmo brothers’ permanent restaurant at Royal Mansour Marrakech—while allowing the chefs the freedom to explore new territories.

A Menu That Travels the World

The menu at the Alajmo Brothers pop-up is a celebration of contrasts and creativity. Guests can expect bold yet elegant dishes that reflect the chefs’ love for both tradition and innovation.

Highlights include a wood-fired in pala focaccia topped with yuzu tomato, offering a bright, citrusy twist on a classic Italian staple. A delicate seabass ceviche arrives paired with guacamole and mango sorbet, blending South American freshness with tropical sweetness. Cold soy noodles with caviar and black trumpet mushrooms bring together Asian inspiration and luxurious refinement in a single, unexpected bite.

Main courses push boundaries even further. Alongside Italian-inspired signatures such as wild prawn mezzi paccheri and creamy risotto gratin, the menu surprises with dishes like beef tataki served with sesame vegetables and wasabi—an elegant nod to Japanese technique filtered through the Alajmo lens.

An Atmosphere Where Nature Meets Gastronomy

Beyond the plate, the experience is elevated by its setting. Le Jardin’s serene, garden-filled environment provides a striking contrast to the cosmopolitan energy of the menu.

Lush greenery, open skies, and the gentle rhythm of Marrakech create a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere where flavours, nature, and conviviality come together.

The pop-up is brought to life by Riccardo Barni, Chef of Sesamo at Royal Mansour Marrakech, ensuring the experience maintains continuity with the hotel’s culinary philosophy while embracing the Alajmo brothers’ adventurous spirit.
