Saturday at Four Seasons Rabat: From Dinner at Verdello to an Evening of Elegance at Laïla Lounge

There are places where time seems to pause—where evenings unfold not in haste, but in layers. At the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr, Saturdays are not merely a night out. They are a curated passage from flavor to rhythm, from the golden hour to the depths of the night.

This past Saturday, we stepped into that world. It began at Verdello, where the coast of Italy meets the shores of Morocco, and ended in the candlelit shadows of Laïla Lounge, where music told its own story.

Verdello – A Mediterranean Prelude

Dinner at Verdello is a study in refined restraint. No unnecessary theatrics—just precision, texture, and the quiet confidence of a kitchen that understands balance. The room itself is a continuation of the hotel’s imperial past: vaulted ceilings, soft stone, and the gentle hush of a space that lets the food speak

The menu captures the soul of modern Italian elegance: Gambero Mediterraneo—delicate prawn tartare kissed with citrus and herbaceous notes; a Lasagna alla Bolognese that feels both nostalgic and refined; and Rigatoni alla Carbonara, rich and silky, finished with just the right touch of pecorino and guanciale.

Wines are poured with quiet confidence, and service flows effortlessly—like the ocean breeze slipping through the arched windows. Verdello doesn’t call for attention. It earns it—dish by dish.

Laïla Lounge – The Descent into Sound

As dinner fades into conversation, the night continues just steps away at Laïla Lounge, where the mood deepens and the energy shifts. Framed by low light and textured interiors, Laïla is more than a lounge—it’s a curated experience of rhythm and ambiance.

This Saturday, L82DP took the helm with a set that unfolded like a narrative deep, sensual, and pulsing with soulful undertones. His music moved through Laïla with intention, echoing off stone and velvet in equal measure. Cocktails were crafted to match the pace, and guests slipped into the night one beat at a time.

At Four Seasons Rabat, a Saturday isn’t a plan. It’s an experience. From the first forkful at Verdello to the last note at Laïla, it’s a story told in two chapters—unfolding in taste, sound, and timeless style.
