Following its debut in Mykonos, Greece, last summer, contemporary Cantonese restaurant Ling Ling is set to open at Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech this autumn.

Due to open on August 22, Ling Ling draws inspiration from the izakaya concept made popular in the East, where food accompanies the drinks and not the other way around. The new restaurant aims to be a vibrant destination for locals and guests alike, with a creative offering of Cantonese-style dishes, cocktails and an eclectic soundtrack created by Hakkasan's resident DJ in London, Pathaan.

Ling Ling overlooks the picturesque olive groves and serene pools at the centre of the Mandarin Oriental resort, and encompasses an outdoor terrace, lounge and bar. The venue will be open all year round for cocktails and dinner.

"We are delighted to welcome Ling Ling to Marrakech," says Mark Bradford, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech. "Our beautiful resort is the natural home for its first venture in Morocco. Ling Ling is not only a great addition to the hotel's other culinary offerings, but it will also provide a stylish nightlife venue to complement the chic and vibrant Marrakech scene."

"We are very pleased to be bringing Ling Ling to Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech," says Vinicio Alberelli, Director of Operations, Europe and UK. "The combination of two such iconic brands and teams is a truly exciting endeavour. We believe Ling Ling will become a drinking and dining destination in the city offering something completely unique to the market."
