MORNINGS & WEEKENDS
Breakfast or brunch in Marrakech: which should you choose?
Breakfast fits into your morning; brunch brings breakfast and lunch favourites together. At Pensée, breakfast is served every day and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.
The difference is the meal, not just the time
Brunch combines breakfast and lunch in one meal. It can bring together morning favourites and dishes you might otherwise choose at lunchtime. Breakfast generally fits at the start of the day, before you continue with your plans.
That does not mean breakfast is only sweet and brunch only savoury. At Pensée, the breakfast buffet already includes soups, salads and hot dishes, alongside breads, pastries, fruit and homemade yogurt. Choose according to your day, the food offered and the drinks included.
Start with your plans for the day
If you want a meal before a trip out or an appointment, breakfast fits the morning slot. If you would rather meet on the weekend for a meal that takes the place of lunch, consider brunch.
At Pensée, breakfast is served Monday to Friday from 7am to 1pm and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to noon. Brunch has its own service, Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 3:30pm. These are separate buffets with separate times, rather than one continuous service.

Sweet, savoury and cooked in front of you
At breakfast, you can build a savoury plate, choose breads and pastries, then enjoy fruit or homemade yogurt. Msemen, omelettes and chocolate crêpes are cooked to order in front of guests. The included drinks are unlimited too.
Brunch combines breakfast items with a broad selection inspired by the dinner buffet: starters, hot dishes, Moroccan specialities and desserts, plus grilled dishes and crêpes cooked to order. The selection varies by day. Drinks are separate from the buffet price, so check the drinks menu when planning your total budget.
Choosing with family or friends
With children, consider their usual mealtime and the price for their age group. With friends, agree on an arrival time first. This makes it easier to choose between a morning meal and a weekend lunch.
Give the number of adults and children when booking, and confirm any allergies or dietary restrictions with the team. Share Pensée’s location and directions to arrange your meeting in Guéliz. Complimentary valet service is available for restaurant guests.
