Many Marrakech visitors are unaware of the Industrial Zone of Marrakech (aka Sidi Ghanem). Sidi Ghanem is full of designer showrooms offering the best in Moroccan and European design.
Most of the show rooms of Sidi Ghanem focus on home decor items including furniture, lamps and lanterns, bedroom and bathroom linens, pottery, and candles. The showrooms originally catered to importers and large quantity buys, but many now also retail their products.
Perhaps best of all is that amidst the bustle of the Industrial Zone you can sit down for a home made meal at Cafe Cosaque.
Cafe Cosaque is open every day but Sunday from 7h45-5pm. The menu is international consisting of American and French food as well as some quirky specialties like burritos and sushi.
I had the chicken cesar salad with a home made creamy dressing and crunchy croutons for 65 dhs. Generally the prices range from 30-70 dhs per dish.
The owner (Remy) was very helpful as well offering maps of the zone with all of the showrooms listed and tips on where to get the best deals.
To get to Sidi Ghanem, take a taxi (about a 20 minute ride from Jamaa el f'na). The cafe is located next to Amira Bougie which has great candles.
Happy Travels!

Sorry for the low rate but I think more info is needed, especially on the Industrial zone and what there is there.
