La Table du Marche at Marrakech airport is the terminal outpost of a name Marrakech already knows. In the city it is a reference for pastry; at Marrakech-Menara airport it brings the same counter to travellers who would rather not start a holiday on a vending-machine croissant.

What the counter holds
The core is pastry, French and Moroccan, and it is treated as the main event rather than an afterthought. Crepes are the signature — good for a sweet breakfast or a quick indulgence — alongside crisp Belgian waffles served warm with a generous choice of toppings, sweet or savoury.
The refrigerated display is worth a look before you order: eclairs, fine puff pastries, colourful fruit tarts, macarons, golden brioches and pains au chocolat. It is the kind of counter you choose from by eye rather than from a menu board.
If you want something savoury
The savoury quiches are the substantial option, made with quality cheeses and seasonal vegetables. For a traveller who wants a light meal rather than a snack before boarding, this is the most sensible thing on the counter.
Who it suits
This is a morning place above all. It opens from 8 a.m., which fits the mid-morning European departures rather than the dawn flights — for those, the terminal’s 24-hour options are the answer.
If you are travelling with children, the crepes and waffles tend to settle an argument faster than anything else in the terminal.
Before you board
Prices sit above city level, as everywhere in an airport. Check live departure board before you commit to sitting down, and see our airport restaurants guide if you want to compare what else is open at your hour.
A Marrakech name, not an airport brand
Most of what you find in an airport terminal was designed for airports. La Table du Marche was not: it built its reputation in Marrakech itself, on pastry, and the terminal counter is an extension of that rather than the other way round.
That matters in a practical sense. The French and Moroccan pastry traditions meet here in a way that is specific to this city — a counter that holds both a proper pain au chocolat and Moroccan almond pastries is a local thing, not a franchise template.
If you are flying home and want one last genuinely Marrakech thing before you go, this is a more honest answer than the duty-free shelf.
Frequently asked questions
What time does La Table du Marche open at the airport?
From 8 a.m., following the main flight banks. For very early departures, look instead at the terminal outlets that stay open 24 hours.
Is it only pastries?
No. Savoury quiches made with quality cheeses and seasonal vegetables make it a light meal option, not just a sweet stop.
Is it good for children?
Yes, the crepes and Belgian waffles are usually the easiest sell in the terminal for younger travellers.
Is it the same as La Table du Marche in the city?
It is the airport outpost of the Marrakech name, with the same focus on pastry, in a format adapted to a terminal.
Can I take the pastries on board?
Solid food is fine in hand luggage. Liquids and spreadable items follow the usual 100 ml cabin rule if you buy them before security.
Can I buy pastries to take home as a gift?
Fresh pastry does not travel well for more than a few hours, so it is best treated as something to eat before or during the flight. For a gift that survives the journey, packaged coffee or preserved sweets are the safer choice.
Is there anywhere to sit?
There is counter and seating space, but it is a terminal outlet rather than a full restaurant. At peak departure times expect to stand or move on.
Before you fly
Check the live departure board before you leave your riad, see our airport restaurants guide for the full list of places to eat in the terminal, and read our Wi-Fi guide if you need to get online.
