Specimen 01. The concept

A laboratory of African cuisine

Le Labo Africain is a restaurant, an epicerie and a catering studio rolled into one bright corner of Marrakech. The kitchen works West African classics with fresh Moroccan produce, the shelves carry house-made pantry jars, and the room hums on match nights.
