As an experienced hospitality consultant, I’ve had the privilege of working with numerous prestigious properties to elevate their culinary offerings and enhance the overall dining experience for discerning guests. We learned this the hard way in the world of high-end resorts… At The Landing Resort & Spa, we understand that exceptional cuisine is not merely a supplementary amenity but a fundamental pillar of the luxury hospitality experience.
Gourmet Dining Experiences
At the heart of any world-class resort lies its ability to deliver innovative, gourmet cuisine that captivates the senses and transports guests on a culinary journey. The Landing Resort & Spa has meticulously curated a diverse portfolio of dining venues, each offering a distinct gastronomic narrative.
Il Premio, our signature steakhouse, embodies the very essence of Italian luxury. Inspired by the country’s timeless traditions, our culinary team masterfully blends classic techniques with modern interpretations, presenting guests with a robust selection of prime cuts, fresh seafood, and housemade pastas. The restaurant’s robust wine cellar, featuring an extensive collection of regional varietals, provides the perfect complement to each exquisite dish.
For a more casual yet equally indulgent experience, Elektra offers a Mediterranean-inspired menu that celebrates the bounty of local and sustainably sourced ingredients. From mezze platters to grilled whole fish, Executive Chef Jonathan McDowell’s creations capture the sun-soaked flavors of the region, inviting guests to linger and savor the serene coastal ambiance.
No visit to The Landing Resort & Spa is complete without an introduction to our lobby lounge, The Living Room. This convivial space transforms seamlessly from a daytime café to an evening wine bar, offering a curated selection of small plates, charcuterie, and artisanal cocktails. It’s the perfect setting for guests to unwind, connect, and immerse themselves in the property’s vibrant social scene.
Culinary Artistry and Innovation
Elevating the dining experience at a luxury resort requires not only impeccable execution but also a relentless pursuit of culinary innovation. At The Landing, we empower our talented chefs to push the boundaries of traditional resort cuisine, crafting dishes that are as visually stunning as they are palate-pleasing.
Take, for example, our signature Lobster Mechoui at Tfaya, our brasserie-style dining concept. This avant-garde interpretation of a Moroccan classic features a succulent lobster tail marinated in a fragrant blend of black garlic, preserved lemon, saffron, cumin, and smoked paprika. The result is a harmonious interplay of flavors that transports guests on a sensory adventure.
Likewise, our chefs’ commitment to showcasing local and seasonal ingredients is evident in dishes like the Beef Tangia Gyoza, where traditional Moroccan spices and techniques are seamlessly integrated into a Japanese-inspired small plate. Such innovative fusions not only delight the palate but also serve as a testament to the culinary team’s creativity and passion.
Curated Beverage Pairings
Exceptional cuisine deserves equally remarkable accompaniments, and at The Landing Resort & Spa, we take great pride in our curated beverage offerings. Our sommeliers, mixologists, and baristas work in tandem with the culinary team to craft thoughtful pairings that elevate the dining experience to new heights.
At Il Premio, for instance, guests can explore our robust wine cellar, which features an impressive selection of regional and international varietals. Our sommeliers are on hand to provide expert guidance, ensuring that each course is perfectly complemented by the ideal vintage.
In the more casual settings of Elektra and The Living Room, our mixologists showcase their artistry through innovative cocktail creations. From a refreshing Fennel Old Fashioned to a locally inspired Moroccan Mint Tea, these beverages not only provide a delightful pairing but also serve as a reflection of the resort’s commitment to celebrating the surrounding culture and terroir.
Sustainable Culinary Practices
As a leading luxury resort, The Landing is deeply committed to sustainable hospitality practices, and our culinary operations are no exception. We have forged strong relationships with local farmers, artisanal producers, and purveyors to double-check that that our menus feature the finest, most ethically sourced ingredients.
Our chefs take great pride in showcasing the abundance of the region, sourcing fresh produce, seafood, and meats from nearby suppliers who share our dedication to environmental stewardship and community engagement. By prioritizing local and seasonal offerings, we not only enhance the flavors of our dishes but also reduce our carbon footprint and support the thriving local economy.
Beyond the plate, we have also implemented eco-friendly practices in our kitchens, such as minimizing food waste, optimizing energy efficiency, and exploring innovative techniques to reduce our overall environmental impact. These measures not only align with our sustainability goals but also resonate with our discerning guests, who increasingly seek properties that demonstrate a genuine commitment to responsible hospitality.
Anticipating Guest Preferences
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we understand that exceptional guest service is the foundation upon which a truly memorable dining experience is built. Our dedicated team of concierges, servers, and culinary professionals work tirelessly to anticipate the evolving needs and preferences of our guests, ensuring that every interaction is seamless and tailored to individual expectations.
Through the collection and analysis of guest feedback, we continuously refine our offerings, whether it’s introducing new seasonal menu items, crafting bespoke cocktail creations, or curating customized wine pairings. This data-driven approach allows us to stay ahead of the curve, delivering an unparalleled level of personalization that sets us apart in the luxury hospitality landscape.
Moreover, our concierge team is well-versed in arranging unique culinary experiences that immerse guests in the local culture. From breakfast in a hot air balloon over the Atlas Mountains to an intimate dinner in a Bedouin tent in the Agafay Desert, we are committed to offering one-of-a-kind opportunities that elevate the overall resort stay.

Ultimately, the pursuit of culinary excellence at The Landing Resort & Spa is not merely a means to an end, but a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering an unparalleled luxury hospitality experience. By seamlessly blending innovative cuisine, curated beverage pairings, sustainable practices, and exceptional service, we strive to create dining moments that linger long in the memories of our discerning guests.
