👍👍 Decided to try this place while walking in the medina because of its delicious aromas filling the street! The rooftop terrace is small but lovely. The food did not disappoint, great flavours and portion size. Many options for vegetarians. They accept card payment. People often mention terrace, good, nice, coffee, rooftop, service, delicious, staff, chicken, great,

    Really central location and lovely setting. Very traditional coral walls and open rooftop seating. Staff were friendly and attentive. It was just calming down when we arrived around 2/3pm. The food was quite nice - we had chicken wraps, kebabs and falafel. It was quite basic / western in terms of flavour (and side of fries), but just what we needed. We got complimentary bread too. Lovely hidden gem.

    We had the best dinner - chicken kabob. falafel, briouias, and panna cotta. Everything was wonderful - service, flavors, cleanliness. Highly recommend!

    Ordered chicken pastil, spiced coffee and frappe. The coffee is really really strong! The pastila was an explosion of flavours.

    It was nice to spend an afternoon here. The food is quite good. However, we didn't particularly enjoy the pastries. We were expecting a bit more of that! They offer freddo cappuccino but if you ask if they can make it with sugar, you only get sugar on the side. But of course sugar doesn't dissolve in cold coffee. Overall it was quite alright!

    This place is great for lunch and coffee! We had such a great time that we visited again the next day. It's also well located in the middle of the Medina. We visited Le Jardin Secret and then we were looking for something nice to eat, relax and have a good cup of coffee. This place offered us all this at very reasonable prices. I also liked the decor, which is calming and sophisticated. highly recommended!

    Loved everything about this place. Menu was more varied than most places. Excellent vegetarian options. Rooftop terrace and Aircon inside.

    Fabulous lunch find! Brought our kids here when exploring the souks and were not disappointed! Brilliant food, decent portions and a sunny (with parasols) terrace which is private and quiet - a nice respite from the noise of the motorbikes in the souls. Place was clean, staff were polite and helpful and prices reasonable. I suspect the terrace might get hot in the summer (walls are high and breeze might be limited) but there are tables inside too.

    Quick and friendly service. Multiple levels of seating with a really nice rooftop terrace with colourful flowers, cactus plants and umbrellas (no view though). I got the briouats with spinach and cheese and throughly enjoyed them - so yummy. I plan to come again and try more. Affordable prices too ☺️

    Stopped here for a drink. Iced coffee and mint tea. Reasonably priced and good quality. Nice roof terrace. Very clean. Toilets immaculate. Didn't eat here but there were repeat customers around us.

    Lovely little rooftop terrace. Food was quite good, we had stuffed peppers and filo parcels. Main downside was lack of atmosphere as there were no other customers even at 9pm

    The terrace on top is amazing, a nice little spot! The staff is also very nice. The food was ok: I suppose the place is better to have a coffee or something to drink than lunch or dinner

    The service was really nice, and the space is well decorated. I must say really enjoyed the Harris Soup, the briouats were ok, however The Moorish burger is just bread with mozzarella cheese and some lettuce & tomato, I would say it’s just an average burger, nothing creative on it). It’s just an ok restaurant, nothing wow !

    Very cozy rooftop and nice staff! Food was pretty good. I had the Briouats which was soooo yummy and the tapas to share (highly recommend the omelette and meatballs). My partner got the skewers but they weren’t hot so it was slightly disappointing. The panna cotta also wasn’t our favorite as it was too sweet for us. Total was around 300DH including drinks. Very affordable for the amount we ordered.

    Very nice and quite place in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Marrakech zoco, we really apprrciated a peaceful lunch. Good, tasty and homemade food and good price. Friendly staff. We'll definitely come back.

  • 4/5 Andrea 4 years ago on Google
    Very nicely decorated restaurant/ coffee shop. I haven't been able to find a nice cup of coffee in the medina, and am glad to have a good sip here. They also have a yung yang, which mimics a HongKongese local hot drink, I wouldn't recommend it as it's not anything closed to what it's supposed to taste like. They do have a nice menu, with some good healthy options though, but I didn't go there during meal times.

    Eat here a couple of times during our stay in Marrakech. The place is modern with a younger management compared to other cafes in the area. As a result the menu is lively and offers a good selection across the board. Particularly liked the chicken skewers and the classic burger. Nice touch was availability of beer, even being non alcoholic was worth to have after a week of mint tea 😂

  • 5/5 Al M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Ten stars for the naming pun! Loved the peace of the rooftop terrace and the incredibly warm and friendly welcome from the women looking after us. The juice of the day (apple, strawberry, persimmon and orange) was delicious, the paninis, Caesar salad and spaghetti bolognese very good and decent value.

  • 5/5 Jimmy Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Great service and food at approachable prices. I got the chicken skewers and it came with 4 hefty skewers of chicken on some vegetables (also can choose fries instead). Wife had the Greek salad and we ate to our heart’s content. The fruit smoothies were a bargain and very delicious. Perfect after a long day of sightseeing. Definitely pop by for a visit if you’re in the Medina area.

    Die Speisekarte hat uns sehr angesprochen. Der Burger war sehr lecker, die Preise auch gut. Das Ambiente auf der Dachterrasse ist sehr gemütlich mit nettem Personal! Absolute Empfehlung, wenn man mal was anderes essen möchte, als in den ganzen anderen Restaurants.

  • 5/5 Aida S. 8 months ago on Google
    An einem Tag bei 36°C sind wir hier gelandet und fanden es toll: leckere mezze, Sandwiches und toller Salat. Mal was anderes in Marrakesh essen außer tajine. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert, das Ambiente ist schön und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Empfehlenswert.

    Schönes Café/Restaurant über mehrere Etagen mit einer Dachterrasse. Schön eingerichtet. Es gibt ganz unterschiedliche Speisen (Pasta, Burger, Tajine, Salat, Panini...) das Personal ist freundlich und man wird mit einem Lächeln begrüßt. Leider gab es keinen Gruß aus der Küche. Wir hatten die Pasta des Tages. Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt. Als Abendessen war die Pasta jedoch zu wenig (eher ein Snack am Mittag).

    Food was really good, service was excellent, the roof top and decor was beautiful! An oasis in the middle of the crazy streets.

  • 5/5 N. W. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to relax and just calm down from the busy streets of marrakech. The owners are very kind and attentive to bring you what you like. The food is delicous and fresh. the Moorish knows how to make good coffee. My favourite was the morroccan spice coffee. 💕 We came here three times during our stay and always enjoyed it very much. Another plus is, that they have free wifi. We will definitly come back when in town.

    Wonderful dinner on the rooftop terrace! Staff very friendly. Menu has a nice variety including traditional Moroccan dishes.

  • 5/5 shadow r. 9 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Really friendly staff, delicious food. Shady, beautiful terrace. Beef kebabs were tender and tasty. Affrogato coffee (espresso over vanilla ice cream, no alcohol) was perfect finish to lunch on a hot summer’s day.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, hidden gem in the Medina. The entrance is located between shops on floor level and the seating is on 3 different floors with a rooftop garden area. We had the whole place to ourself. The food is delicious, typical Moroccan food but made a little modern. We had traditional soup, stuffed pepper, panini, tea and spiced coffee, all for 200 Dirham. Definitely worth it. Friendly service. They accept credit cards!

  • 2/5 J. M. 2 years ago on Google
    We stumbled upon this place looking for a quick dinner. The menu promising a series of simple & inexpensive dishes. There was no room on the roof terrace so we sat indoor which was empty & less appealing, but still fine. Sadly we had to wait more than 1 hour for our food to arrive. Things seemed to go wrong in the kitchen because the staff looked agitated & the two tables that ordered shortly after us had to wait even longer than we did. The food itself was fairly priced, but not great. Overall we wouldn't recommend.

  • 3/5 Gary L. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited here in the afternoon when it was quiet. The service was good and the terrace/atmosphere was okay. My friend ordered the quinoa salad and falafels and enjoyed them. I ordered the chicken skewers with fries and a margarita pizza. Although the fries were delicious, the chicken was dry and luke warm. The pizza was embarrassing: the sauce had a very strange taste to it and the base was a very cheap factory-made bread base. Very disappointing. Shame, as the setting and service were otherwise good.

  • 5/5 Joshi G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a nice meal here on the terasse - a lovely place of peace and quiet in the centre of the hectic souks of the medina! Friendly service included!

  • 4/5 Jack B. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice find that we stumbled across for lunch. Lovely rooftop terrace in the heart of the Medina. Has plenty to offer albeit more of a western theme, coffee was delicious if you wanted to just grab a drink.

    A lovely rooftop terrace in the middle of Medina! Delicious food and very reasonably priced. Really warm and welcoming staff

  • 5/5 Lidia L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and calm place. My fav rooftop to enjoy meals, super tasty and good price! Lovely people working there :)

  • 5/5 Geoffroy D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very courteous staff with tasty food. Rooftop terrasse can accommodate around 15 people’s at a time, but there’s the also the ground floor which has seating available. Not much view on the terrasse tough.
