Steph WApril 6, 2015Came here for lunch - beautiful interior design, a wide selection of beers, cocktails, wines. Lovely food - my friend and I had some pasta, red wine and desserts! Affordable and we will be back
Emre DinçerJanuary 1, 2018We had a very nice dinner here. The tagine that I ate here was the best one I have ever eaten. (Lamb tagine with quill eggs). The ambiance, service, wines are all perfect.
Kirs PFebruary 22, 2017One of the few places near the Souks where you can grab a glass of wine. Head all the way up to the Terrace for comfy seats and a beautiful view
Jules BardwellAugust 28, 2017Excellent all around. Tried Lamb Tajin, G&T was excellent. 9/ 10 by my daughter, she dropped one point as the seats weren’t very comfortable! They were comfortable - kids eh? I recommend this place...
Tommy WardenJuly 9, 2014Tuna Fusilli is great! And the cheapest red wine on the list, the local Meknes Cab Sauv, is very drinkable. Overall the best value for money in town.
Elena SkMay 12, 2019Beautiful chill out place, where you can have alcoholic drinks as well as a meal. International food, but your are here for the ambient, not the food. Reservations a must.
Simon WillisonNovember 28, 2013The roof terrace is a great place to escape the hustle of the streets for a while. Food is good all round, but the chicken pastilla is outstanding.
- Julia CollinsJanuary 12, 2014Rich Moroccan colours and opulent textures make the roof terrace my go to drinks spot after a long day in the Souk-one of the few bars in central Marrakech with water misting fans!!! Hurrah!
Jason QuarisaDecember 9, 2018Great rooftop restaurant! Nice service and nice views out over the city. The lamb tagine with prune is excellent!
Jon BallNovember 20, 2012If you've been here a few days & had enough Moroccan food try the veal escallop with puréed potato - absolutely sublime. Don't forget to save space for the chocolate & coconut cake with praline sauce.
Evan WeinmanDecember 24, 2014three floors which the top is a cozy rooftop terrace. The staff is very attentive and understand English. Prices a bit higher than other food but you get quality food in bigger portions.
Claudio SantoriNovember 10, 2018The Tajine was one of the best. Half bottle of medallion and try their soup. Not expensive and great quality
Lino MianiDecember 15, 2014Great atmosphere, great music, food is good-great, price reasonable. Highly recommended among all the nicest places in Marrakesh.
Brian MartinFebruary 3, 2016Might not be the cheapest but the food is outstanding! Beer available as well as Cocktails
- Damon SununtnasukMarch 31, 2018Good spot for a drink in the medina. They have cocktails, which is a big deal in Morocco
Adrian MonckApril 8, 2013Don't bother with the Cafe Plat Arabe. The pasta is a comforting break from couscous, especially the tagliatelle bolognese - like Findus best! ;)
Leif E. PedersenApril 27, 2018You have to visit !!!! This is the best of Marrakesh. Location, service, food, ambiance - everything !!!!
Thunder CatJanuary 18, 2015Good venue for a late night cocktail. The staff are friendly and the decor is attractive.
Bijan YoungMay 1, 2016Staff really attendant so ask for your special cocktails. Mixed starters really good. Italian food better overall.
GNZ CAugust 26, 2013one of the best terraces i've ever been! awesome views to the mosques! tajine keftta was really tasty! :)
Juan RamirezApril 17, 2016The sweet couscous was very good. Also the mint lemonade was very refreshing. Very nice terrace.
Belén AchaerandioFebruary 7, 2015You'll LOVE the 'pastille poulet'. The lamb tajine is also good. Great service, nice roof.
Memo S.April 24, 2014Pretty good Moroccan food. They have beer and are not trying to rip you off with prix fixe menus in tacky banquet hall type rooms like many of the other restaurants here.
Jakob PadbergMay 19, 2017Drunk mancunians, if you want a white washed marrokko experience. Go ape. Staff is very nice though and the place looks good.
Tiago MonteiroSeptember 4, 2013One of the few places that serve alchool inside Medina. Nice view from the roof and an atmosphere like cafe del mar.- Mona DNovember 16, 2013The wine list is a welcome change to the usual dry restaurants in this Muslim country. Try the Cabernet Sauvignon from Meknes for 35DH. Seafood not horrible at this but not the same as US or Europe.
Greg GulikApril 6, 2018Try to get a table by the front of the restaurant for a view of the Secret Garden
Kris GiebensMay 9, 2013Great quality cocktails. It has definitely been discovered by the mainstream tourist however!
Stine NygaardOctober 29, 2014Beautifull restaurant with great food/drinks to reasonable prices. I would go again
Susan S.January 10, 2019Nice rooftop but the cappuccino was some weird instant powder coffee. Order a different drink!
Justin ChenOctober 21, 2014Glasses of wine are fairly inexpensive (roughly 35 Dh) if you're looking for alcohol.
Edgardo RossettoMarch 21, 2023I had pasta which was good, some reasonable priced local wines. Cocktails are shit, go for wine and beer. Service is poor and slow.
João SoaresDecember 13, 2016Alcohol. Big place. 3 floors and different areas. 1 beer around 30-35DHM
Lu B.December 31, 2012#fault ->forget about cocktails -> they serve it mostly with foam. yes, foam! The cocktail itself is only 1/3 :-(
Melisa GunesMay 19, 2018The service was mediocre. The attitude of the waiters were very bad. they were mean, impatient and rude. obviously they are unhappy working here. the staff needs to change! The food is also not good!
Lily LouOctober 13, 2016Horrible service. I came alone and was asked if I had a reservation. The place was full but not full enough for one person. I was squeezed in between two parties. I was not offered bread or water.
Beckie JordanAugust 19, 2011Beautiful place to see the sunset. Lovely chilled out vibe with traditional decor
NajubeApril 2, 2012Lovely setting, but the service was unfriendly & the stale bread was followed by gluggy mash and a 'fillet of beef' that was not beef at all. They do serve alcohol (at city prices) & have wifi.
