SMOK'ED, Geneva
SMOK'ED
SMOK’ED (pronounced smō-ked) is a Swiss tribute to traditional American BBQ, bringing together the best regional styles from the States on one packed plate – from St Louis-style pork ribs and Carolina pulled pork to Texan beef brisket and Florida-style chicken. Naturally, the meats are the star of the show. Each piece is 100% Swiss and slow-smoked in-house for up to 16 hours over wood from Valais to create a deep, authentic BBQ flavour. Homemade brioche buns, pickles, sauces and sides receive the same care and attention.
From the moment you sit down, you’re a guest of true Swiss hospitality. The only thing you need to remember is to bring your appetite – loaded sharing platters and sandwiches await. Round out the meal with homemade refreshments, local Swiss beers and wines, or a signature cocktail. SMOK’ED puts time, care and passion into every dish so you can enjoy classic, smoky BBQ at its finest, every time.

ECLIPSE ROOFTOP, Marrakech
Eclipse Rooftop
Set to land in Marrakech? There’s one dish you can’t leave without tasting: tangia. Born in the souks, this mix of meat, preserved lemon and spices is slow-cooked in a clay pot for hours until it melts at the touch of a fork. This beauty is the city’s signature, and Eclipse Rooftop serves it just the way locals know and love it. Set above a riad in the heart of the Kasbah once home to a Moroccan princess, this rooftop pairs traditional Moroccan cuisine and international favourites with an unbeatable 360-degree view over the city.
Our advice? Start with a colourful spread of Moroccan salads, save room for the tangia – of course – and remain as the lights start to twinkle across the medina, lighting up the night sky. Whether staying for a bite to eat or dropping in for tea, the rooftop makes a relaxing retreat from the surrounding hubbub. When you book, be sure to mention this page and get a signature welcome drink for free.
