Ocean Jewel — Private Seafood Tasting Menu in Marrakech

Welcome to Ocean Jewel, a coastal-inspired private dining experience by Chef Marrakech—crafted for villas and riads across the Red City. Our chef team brings the Atlantic’s finest flavors to your table with attentive, discreet service and the warmth of Moroccan hospitality.

Perfect for birthdays, proposals, family gatherings, or a sophisticated evening with friends, Ocean Jewel blends market-fresh seafood with classic technique and the convivial rhythm of a chef-hosted dinner at home. We cook on-site, plate to order, and pace the evening so you can relax and enjoy your guests.

Menu Overview

Ocean Jewel is a four-course tasting menu that moves from bright, briny notes to deeper spice and warmth, finishing with a refined pastry. Expect elegant plating, clean flavors, and a calm service flow. Provenance matters: oysters are sourced from El Oualidia, Morocco’s celebrated lagoon, and monkfish is selected for its firm texture and natural sweetness—ideal for tagine cooking.

All dishes are prepared in your kitchen by our private chef team. We bring the essential tools and handle the clean-down, leaving your space as we found it.

Course-by-Course Description

Amuse-Bouches

Crispy Sardine Roulade • Crispy Rice Bites with Tuna • Vegetable Spring Rolls

We open with three bite-sized contrasts: the sardine roulade is crisp outside with a savory, silken center; the tuna over crisped rice offers a satisfying crunch and clean ocean flavor; the vegetable spring roll brings bright aromatics and a gentle herbal finish. Together they set a lively, balanced tone for the courses to come.

Entrée — El Oualidia Oysters with Red Wine Vinegar

Shucked to order and served on crushed ice, these oysters capture El Oualidia’s pristine brininess. A precise splash of red wine vinegar sharpens the mineral notes without overwhelming them. The result is cool, clean, and refreshing—a palate-awakening moment that honors the Moroccan coast.

Plat — Monkfish Tagine with Peppers

Meaty, succulent monkfish holds beautifully in a tagine, absorbing gentle spices as sweet and smoky peppers melt into a glossy sauce. Expect a firm bite, delicate warmth from the spice blend, and a lingering sweetness from slow-stewed peppers. The dish is finished tableside and pairs naturally with warm bread and seasonal sides (prepared to complement, not crowd, the star of the plate).

Dessert — Almond & Apricot Tart

A crisp pastry shell filled with almond frangipane and sun-bright apricot. The texture progression—snap, soft crumble, tender fruit—offers a graceful close to the meal. Not too sweet, not too heavy; simply elegant.

Price: €120 per person
Note: Seasonal substitutions may occur to ensure peak freshness.
