Matalane review: our verdict
Should you come to Matalane for the venue or the plate? The decor, modern with Oriental touches and full of details, makes an impression right from the entrance, and the team loves adapting it to the occasion, right down to Halloween nods. On the culinary side, the grill holds its own: well-executed fillet and beef tartare, thoughtful presentation, a touch of creativity.
On lively evenings, a singer, traditional orchestra, djembé and violin take over the room, and the house knows how to prepare a birthday surprise. For a night for two or with friends, rue Quadi Ayad. Not for a tight budget: the burrata was 220 DH and the lamb leg 290 DH in November 2025, and at that price, the plate should follow, which it doesn't every evening.
The trap: counting on the show without asking, when booking, if there is one that evening; some evenings are much quieter. The house opens every evening from 6 pm to 2 am, including the terrace.
