Patchi review: our verdict
At Patchi, the packaging is just as important as the chocolate itself: white gift sets, ornate boxes, decorative pyramids, and seasonal editions are neatly arranged on light wood and black metal shelves. This Lebanese house, a specialist in gift chocolates, opened its first Marrakech store in the M Avenue gallery, featuring a long glass counter where you can select your treats.
This is the go-to address for gifts: a dinner with friends, a party, or a thank-you present. The welcome is cheerful, the staff is eager to advise, and those avoiding sugar will find a genuine sugar-free range. However, this isn't a place for cheap indulgence: a few chocolates in a pretty box quickly add up to a high bill, and not all palates are convinced by the taste.
The best tip: the sugar-free range, perfect for gifting to those monitoring their blood sugar. The ideal time to visit: in the evening after a stroll along M Avenue, as the shop stays open until 10 p.m., every day.
