Cafe Árabe, Restaurant with rooftop terrace in Medina, Marrakech, Morocco.
This restaurant features a large rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the medina skyline, an open-air courtyard with Majorelle blue painted walls, and air-conditioned indoor spaces combining modern European design with traditional Moroccan elements.
Established over 20 years ago in Marrakech's historic Medina, this venue was the first establishment to introduce Western-style café culture to the old city, creating a space where visitors could enjoy casual dining with wine in a traditional setting.
The restaurant exemplifies Moroccan hospitality by welcoming guests with complimentary breadsticks and olives, while serving a fusion menu that adapts traditional Moroccan dishes like tajines alongside Italian cuisine including perfectly seasoned pasta and fresh salads.
Operating daily from 10:00 AM to midnight with continuous service, the restaurant is located at 184 Rue Mouassine in the central medina and recommends reservations for the popular rooftop terrace during peak tourist seasons.
The rooftop terrace features a misting system to keep guests comfortable under the Marrakech sun, while offering the only elevated dining experience in the medina where patrons can watch sunset views of the Koutoubia Mosque while enjoying expertly crafted cocktails.
