Having arrived in Italy in 2007, Mourad crosses the country from Apulia to Calabria, from Sardinia to Lombardy. He works in the restaurant trade, observes, learns and builds his craft in the field. In 2017 this journey takes shape in Milan with Maison Touareg.
“Morocco in the roots. Italy in the journey. Milan in the Maison.”
The story of Maison Touareg
In 2007 Mourad Dakir arrives in Italy with a backpack and a path still to be built. From Apulia to Calabria, from Sardinia to Lombardy, every experience adds something to his way of understanding cuisine, service and hospitality. In 2017 Maison Touareg is born in Milan.
Mourad Dakir
The roots
Couscous, spices, tea and the shared table are the roots. The experience gained in Italy brings method, organisation and attention to service.

↗Maison Touareg in brief
At Via Varesina 77, 20156 Milan: a destination dedicated to Moroccan cuisine and hospitality.
Mourad Dakir is the chef patron and founder of Maison Touareg and, together with Hanae Chaoui, winner for Team Morocco of the 2024 Couscous World Championship.
Moroccan cuisine: couscous, tagine, bastila, traditional starters, spices, slow cooking and mint tea. Couscous is an important part of the Maison, but it is not the only reason to come.
Maison Touareg brings Moroccan tagine and the culture of slow cooking to Milan, together with couscous, bastila and other dishes of the tradition.
At the Maison, mint tea is part of hospitality: not a simple drink, but a gesture that accompanies the time at the table.
Yes. The Maison combines Moroccan cuisine, atmosphere, service and table rituals for those looking for a dinner different from the usual and a recognisable gastronomic experience in Milan.
Maison Touareg belongs to the world cuisines of Milan, but its identity is precise: Moroccan cuisine, a personal story, hospitality and a journey built since 2017.
