Planning a corporate dinner in Marrakech starts with four decisions: your date, guest count, budget and the kind of evening you want. The setting matters, but so do the shared menu, drinks arrangements and booking conditions. Settle those details before sending the final invitation to your team.
At Azar in Gueliz, the published group and event menus provide a starting point for a team meal, client dinner or end-of-retreat gathering. This guide explains how to compare the options and prepare a clear enquiry for your year-end evening.
1. What kind of corporate dinner are you planning?
Define the purpose of the evening first. A meal to thank your colleagues, a client dinner and the final night of a business retreat call for different preparations. Explain what you have in mind, then choose a date and arrival time that work with the group’s schedule.
If dinner follows a working day or an excursion, allow time to reach the restaurant. Give everyone the same meeting point. Mention any seating request or plans to address the group when making your enquiry, so the team can explain what is possible for your party.
A year-end team dinner can take place during November or December. If you mean 31 December itself, check the separate New Year’s Eve offer, which has its own menu and conditions.
2. Choose a menu for the whole party
Azar’s published group-menu page requires one menu for all guests. Choose the formula before collecting individual orders. The available menus offer several approaches to a shared meal, including Moroccan dishes, Lebanese-inspired mezze and grills, and a vegetarian selection.
For a Moroccan meal, compare the menus built around salads, briouates, tagines or couscous. For Lebanese flavours, look at the mezze and grilled dishes. The Oriental Veggy way menu includes vegetarian mezze, vegetable couscous and a Berber vegetable tagine. Read the full contents rather than choosing from the name alone.
Collect allergies and dietary restrictions before confirming a menu. A vegetarian option won’t automatically meet every requirement. Ask the team about ingredients, possible substitutions and how any agreed adaptations would be served. The food menu provides more detail about the restaurant’s dishes.
3. How much should you budget for a group dinner?
As checked on 2 November 2026, Azar’s official group menu offers food menus from 500 MAD per person. Drinks packages appear in a separate section. Compare the exact inclusions before deciding what each guest’s budget will cover.
| Budget item | What to confirm in your enquiry |
|---|---|
| Food | The shared menu, price per person and guest count. |
| Drinks | The selected package or other arrangement, with exact inclusions. |
| Additional requests | Availability and any agreed cost for the arrangements you need. |
| Transport | The journey to the restaurant and back to your accommodation. |
| Confirmation | Payment terms, cancellation conditions and changes to guest numbers. |
Compare proposals on the same basis: food only, or food and drinks, for example. A per-person menu price is only part of the plan. Your quotation should identify the selected items, any agreed supplements and the total for your party. Keep the budget in MAD rather than relying on an undated sterling conversion.
4. Choose your date and dinner sitting at Azar
Azar opens at 7pm. The first sitting runs from 7pm to 9.30pm, with arrival advised between 7pm and 7.15pm. The second starts from 10.10pm. State your preference when enquiring and ask the team to confirm availability for your group.
The music programme varies by day. Oriental dancers appear every evening, and the DJ plays throughout the evening, every day. Moroccan Oriental Live runs Sunday to Tuesday, while Modern Oriental Live runs Thursday to Saturday. Wednesday features dancers and DJ.
Read the Live & Show programme when choosing your date. Choose your sitting around your intended arrival, rather than assuming that the earlier or later sitting guarantees a particular atmosphere. For a party, confirm the arrangements directly with the restaurant.
5. Plan your arrival in Gueliz
Azar is on Rue de Yougoslavie, by Boulevard Hassan II, in Gueliz. Share the address with your guests and whoever is arranging transport. A single message containing the date, confirmed sitting and departure point helps keep the whole party working from the same information.
Journey times depend on where you are staying and the traffic. Plan the return as well as the outward trip. If anyone has access or seating requirements, raise them before confirming dinner. You can explore Azar’s venue and dining spaces to prepare your questions.
6. Send a complete enquiry
A useful enquiry gives the restaurant your date, guest count, preferred sitting and intended budget. State whether that budget includes drinks. Add dietary, access and seating requests so that the proposed arrangement addresses the details that matter to your team.
Hello, we are planning a corporate dinner on [date] for [number] guests. We would prefer the [first/second] sitting, with a budget of [amount] MAD per person for [food only/food and drinks]. Our dietary, access or other requirements are [details]. Could you confirm availability, the proposed menu and the booking conditions?
Before telling guests that the booking is confirmed, check the restaurant’s response and the conditions that apply. Payment, cancellation and changes to your headcount deserve the same attention as the menu. Keep a record of the agreed details so you can share accurate information with the group.
Questions about corporate dining in Marrakech
How much is a group menu at Azar?
The group menus checked on 2 November 2026 start from 500 MAD per person. Drinks packages are listed separately. Read the current menu, then request a quotation for your date, headcount and selected arrangements before setting the final budget.
Does everyone need to choose the same menu?
Yes. Azar’s published group-menu page asks for one menu for the whole party. Tell the team about allergies and dietary restrictions before confirming. A vegetarian formula does not replace a discussion about ingredients and whether particular adaptations can be accommodated.
Can a corporate dinner include entertainment?
Azar has dancers every evening and a DJ throughout the evening. The live music programme depends on the chosen day. Explain your plans to the team so they can confirm availability and the dinner arrangements for your party, rather than assuming a particular setup is included.
Does this guide cover New Year’s Eve?
The celebration on 31 December is a special evening with its own offer. Check the dedicated page and confirm the conditions when booking. A quotation for a team dinner during November or December should not be treated as the offer for New Year’s Eve.
