Situated on the 33rd floor of the Mohammed VI Tower, the restaurant offers a unique dining experience with panoramic views of Rabat and Salé. Chef Ducasse expressed his excitement about the project, stating that the collaboration with interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has resulted in a space that celebrates Mediterranean flavours and Moroccan ingredients.
Named after a prominent star, Aldabaran honours Arab astronomers and blends Moroccan architectural heritage with modern culinary excellence. The menu, inspired by the French Riviera, features dishes such as petit farcis, gambero rosso with ricotta tortellini, and lamb with caponata. The restaurant also offers a dedicated breakfast experience, a rarity in Ducasse's portfolio, with items like homemade pastries and signature cookpot of eggs and mushrooms.
