Wine and Cocktail Bar

★ 4.5 $$$ Gueliz, Marrakech Natural wine and a long dinner

The Pitch

Plus61 brings a splash of Sydney to Gueliz, the modern quarter west of the Marrakech Medina. Owners Cassandra Karinsky and Sebastian de Gzell built an open, airy room around a natural wine list and a seasonal kitchen, and the bar is as much the draw as the food.

It is the choice for anyone who wants a low intervention glass and a real cocktail rather than a hotel bar. Plus61 lands on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list, ranked number 31 in 2026, so book ahead. Skip it if you want a late night bar, since the energy here is built around dinner. See more in our Marrakech wine bar guide.

The Room

The space is modern and open, with a long bar, banquette seating, and an unfussy palette that puts the wine and plates first. The trio make their own bread, pasta, cheese, and yoghurt in house and work with local organic farmers, and the room reads as a working kitchen rather than a showpiece.

The Drinks

Start at the bar with a glass from the natural and biodynamic list, which leans European and Mediterranean. The seasonal cocktail menu rotates with the kitchen, so ask what is fresh. Pair either with the in house bread and charcuterie. For wine bars elsewhere, see our worldwide guides and cocktail bars near you.
