Looking for dinner with a show in Marrakech? Most evenings in the city force a choice: a good restaurant first, then a taxi to somewhere livelier. At Matrix Lounge, you don’t have to choose. Dinner, live entertainment and the late-night atmosphere all happen in the same room, from the moment you sit down until closing time at 2 am.
This guide explains what a typical dinner with a show in Marrakech looks like at Matrix, which performers you can expect, what to order and how to book.
Why choose dinner with a show in Marrakech at Matrix
Matrix describes itself as “between fine dining and private club”. In practice, it means a real restaurant with a full bar, and a programme of live performers every night. The house programme, called Matrix Show’s, runs every night with Moira Fireshow, Tamtam, Arnaud Sax, DJ Samoo and Ymood.
So whatever night you choose, you will not just eat: you will get music, performances and a DJ, without moving to another venue. Matrix is open every day of the week, from 4 pm to 2 am.
A restaurant first, then a lounge
The evening starts as a dinner. The cuisine is inspired by Morocco and the world, and the plates are made for sharing around the table. As the night goes on, the lights and the music change and the room slowly turns into a lounge. You can keep your table, your friends and your drinks from the first course to the last song.
The 6 live acts you can see
The line-up can vary from night to night, but these are the acts that make up an evening at Matrix.
1. Live saxophone with Arnaud Sax
The saxophone brings live music during dinner. It sets an elegant mood while you eat: relaxed enough to talk, lively enough to feel that the night has started.
2. Fire show with Moira Fireshow
Fire performances take place in the middle of the room. It is one of the most striking moments of the evening.
3. Tamtam drums
Percussion with Tamtam brings rhythm and energy to the night, and pairs naturally with the other performances.
4. Oriental cabaret
Dance and cabaret liven up the evening and give it a festive, oriental touch.
5. Live singing
Live vocals lift the mood as the evening builds.
6. Resident DJs
DJ Samoo and Ymood play live sets every night and keep the party going until closing time.
Special show nights
On top of the nightly programme, Matrix also hosts special nights with guest artists. One example is the “Moroccan Touch” night with Khadija Atlas, which brings together a fire show, tamtam drums, a DJ and live music. Upcoming dates are listed on our events page.

When to arrive
Matrix opens at 4 pm every day. For a dinner with a show, the best plan is to book your table for dinner time and stay for the evening: you enjoy your meal while the entertainment builds around you. Arriving earlier also gives you a better choice of table, with a good view of the performances.
