Owners Cassandra Karinsky and Sebastian de Gzell teamed up with Chef Andrew Cibej to bring a splash of Sydney style to their corner of sun-drenched Marrakech. +61, (a name derived from the nation’s phone code), has become a meeting place for locals, expats and passionate foodies. The fare is relaxed, uncomplicated and generous, weaving the diverse cuisine from Australia with techniques from Morocco and the Mediterranean. The trio place importance on sustainability and local sourcing, making their own bread, pasta, cheese and yoghurt in-house, and working closely with local bio-organic farmers. Diners are encouraged to order a host of dishes for the table, which are primarily designed to share. Besides refreshing salads, buttery pastas and mains (think chargrilled octopus with chimichurri and braised beef rib with fennel), there is also a quenching selection of alcohol and soft drinks. Try the mint and ginger iced tea or the Lemon Bitters cocktail.
