👍👍 We went here for dinner and had a really lovely meal. I accidentally left my phone here and they tried calling around all the riads trying to find me. We got my phone back and the next day we had lunch here too. Great food, friendly staff and an awesome atmosphere People often mention good, friendly, nice, great, terrace, restaurant, service, staff,

    Perfectly positioned in the souk the restaurant is over three levels in a sunny position. Lovely ambience. Comprehensive menu with a mix of traditional Moroccan and western dining. Good service.

    An absolutely fantastic little place in the middle of the souk...We had an amazing dinner party there to celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of my parents. The restaurant is very calm, beautifully decorated and has 2 terraces to chose from. The food is a mixture of Moroccan, Tex Mex, and French food. It is easy for everyone to find something to eat here. To top it all, the owners and the staff are very very nice. They even made a cake run for us and did not charge any extra money, just the price of the cake, that they gave us the receipt from the bakery for. Do try this lovely place. It will be a highlight of your trip to Marrakech.

    I stopped here because in this resturant beside the ubiquitous cous- cous you can eat also mexican tacos, hamburger or salads. Actually I had a Cesar salad, good in taste and size. On the roof top you have a good view of the local minaret tower, very peculiar at sunset. It was the first resturant I was given a red cloth napkin instead of a paper one. Prices of some things are on the high side in respect of cheaper locations. For an example a 1,5 lt of water I was charged a costly 25dh (in medina you can find it at 6dh). Aniway all meal (meat tacos with fryed potatoes + Cesar salad+water plus a couple of free cups of olives ) cost us 155 dh, still quite affordable and overall with a very good quality. One caveat: you may need time to find your right chair: they are handmade and assembled without glue so some are a bit unstable.

    The best compliment a cook can get is that you almost send back the plate or in this case tajine back clean to the kitchen. One word delicious is what describes the tajine vegetables and tajine chicken lemons. The interior is stylish and everywhere you smell the orange blossom. Staff was friendly, very accommodating and showered us with a lot of extra’s. So definitely coming back!

    Delicious food, Great views and a relaxing atmosphere. Romantic. We enjoyed a chicken pastilla and a beef tagine. Both were cooked to perfection and we would definitely recommend. The wait staff were very friendly. This a beautiful terraced restaurant, overlooking the medina alley ways. With excellent evening views of Koutoubia and Ben Youssef mosque. Do visit you won't be disappointed.

    This is by far, the best tagine I've had so far in Morocco! I had the beef & prunes. Rooftop terrace, nice surroundings. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Simone Ghetti de P. 1 year ago on Google • 16 reviews
    One of the best rooftop in Marrakech. Very lovely place. Never busy. It seems a peace island in the chaotic part of the city. Price are good, 🇲🇦 salad is really nice, and they have also some europeans dishes if you like. Last but not least, they accept electronic payment with the card… that in here is not so common.

  • 5/5 Kerri-Ann H. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best chicken and almond pastilla I’ve tasted in Marrakech! The food was delicious; lovingly prepared and full flavour. The owner was kind and very welcoming, and I will most definitely return on my next trip.

    Über den Dächern von Marrakesch. Direkt in den Souks. Unten tobt das Leben und hier ist Ruhe. Das Essen ist gut. Die Tajin schmecken super. Es gibt auch Burger. Der Service ist freundlich.

  • 4/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to escape and enjoy the rooftop. This cafe is perfect for lunch and includes a beautiful and quite terrace. Be sure to try their avocado smoothie and it's great that you can customize your mint tea while here.

  • 5/5 Sibel E. 1 year ago on Google
    Kept coming back to this place during our 2 week stay in marrakech. The Ramadan soup is the nicest we’ve had - (make sure to ask for extra lime) and their sandwiches are great.

    Nice café, friendly, family run with dog, cat and kittens! Lots of steps to terrace, but we'll worth the effort!

  • 5/5 Scott M. 2 years ago on Google
    Family owned. Great meal, lovely atmosphere - reasonably priced high quality Moroccan food and a fantastic terrace in the heart of the medina. The card machine was not working so the staff asked us to come back the next day (trusting us to pay).

  • 4/5 Tracey O. 2 years ago on Google
    We came upon this place after trying to go to Chez Bahia and they were closed - super cute rooftop terrace, great service, and good food for a good price I suspect that our experience was different than the norm - we waited a rather long time for our food (about an hour), and when it did arrive, the fries seemed rushed as they weren’t very hot or crispy, however, it is Ramadan so we completely understand the wait and that restaurants are being pushed to accommodate diners while also taking time in the evening to break their fast.

  • 5/5 Marta Salmerón H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful terrace with a fireplace and good typical dishes. Friendly and very helpful service!!

  • 5/5 Elisabeth D. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place in the centre of the Médina and perfect hideaway, as it’s not so crowded like most of the other places.
