The best bars and cafés Marrakech

An emblematic address in Marrakech, the Café Arabe is the ideal place for a relaxing break or a drink if you find yourself in the souks. Whether you want to enjoy a coffee in the traditional patio or have lunch on the terrace with a view of the rooftops of the medina, the setting is magical and bewitching! Here you will enjoy tasty Italian and Moroccan cuisine such as chicken pastilla or fillet of beef with green pepper. For dinner, remember to book in advance as rooftop is particularly popular.

Here's one of the hottest spots for the Moroccan elite, as good for a drink as it is for dancing to the beats. The So Lounge has three different atmospheres: So Nice, on the terrace, where you can relax with a cocktail or a plate of tapas, to the rhythm of the resident DJ's mixes; So Good, which houses a gourmet Moroccan, French and Asian restaurant, where dinner is set to music by the Soul Collective or, on Wednesdays, by an oriental music and dance group; and So Fun, for clubbing the night away...

The oldest house of the medina listed in Marrakech had long been neglected. Restored in 2000, in the respect of its original architecture, it found all of its beauty: stucco arabesques, carved cedar wood, magnificent patio... But the interest of the place is not only aesthetic. The house has become a sort of literary café and since Dar Cherifa is also a tea room, you can sip a mint tea, a smoothie and nibble on the pastry of the day while discovering this cultural side of Marrakech.

It is impossible to leave the Jemaâ el-Fna square without having consumed a freshly squeezed orange juice from one of the street vendors. All the stands are equal and your stomach does not run much risk, we do not joke with hygiene and controls are regularly held. Moreover, the price being derisory, such an opportunity to drink a natural drink is not to be refused! Don't hesitate to ask for a personalized nectar to your taste, by making a mix of your favorite fruits, or choose it pure without adding water or sugar..

It bears its name well, as the place plays the card of the cozy and intimate! The entrance is superb, with its mural fountain and roses bathing! Its terrace is ideal at sunset with its view of the Koutoubia. What's more, the place serves many aperitifs, several Moroccan and international wines as well as the classic cocktails. A light lunch menu, more elaborate in the evening, allows you to eat there in a soothing and friendly setting. The spot having become coveted, it is preferable to book.

A particularly convivial club, ideal for a signature cocktail or a festive evening with friends in a fusion of cultures. Traditional orchestras and Arab-Andalusian music, belly dancing, a live Gnaoua band and three resident DJs promise an unforgettable evening. In addition to the ambience, there's a wide choice of dishes for dinner: lamb shoulder mechoui, royal couscous, all washed down with quality Moroccan wines... while you wait for the glamorous tableau of twelve oriental dancers.

Outside of meal times, we like to linger on the terrace of Zeitoun with its unobstructed view of the main square and its procession of animations at all hours. In the winter, you can enjoy the outdoor brazier (and a blanket on request) and in the summer, the misters are there to provide all the comfort. The choice of drinks and refreshments, natural smoothies, but also non-alcoholic fruit cocktails is wide and original. In summer, we let ourselves be tempted by the surprising concept of the ice cream, sweet cloud and freshness guaranteed.

A boat in the heart of Gueliz! This is the slightly kitsch-like décor of this institution, which makes friends among the night-owls. We must recognize that the atmosphere is a good child and that the sound is rather good. A la carte, a world cuisine with refined flavours: Curry chicken, odawara gambas, beef marrakchia, or a square of toasted lamb. Side conso, it will cost you from € 3 to € 5 for a beer, € 9 for a champagne cut and from € 34 to € 11 for a bottle of wine.

Sky Bab, the Bab hotel bar, is a nice place to enjoy a drink. All dressed white, he is dressed in photos and giant portraits of international stars, from Madonna to Gainsbourg. In the evening you can dine there and the day chiller around a barbecue and enjoy a sun bath. A pleasant address on the terrace on the 6 ^th floor.

Feel like reading while sipping a drink? Such is the concept of this establishment which will undoubtedly appeal to bibliophiles. Located on the first floor of a building, the Café du Livre offers a library corner with many books to browse, borrow or buy, for some. On the other side of the room, small tables and comfortable benches are available for a snack while enjoying free wifi. Tapas menu, sandwiches and a starter-dish or main course. A nice address to discover throughout the day.

A newcomer to the beautiful M. Avenue, Arabica is no newcomer. The brand already has 93 coffee-shops to its credit. The principle is simple, and the offer is based on coffee as a philosophy. More than twenty exclusive vintages, beans roasted on the spot and available in beverages that everyone loves: latte, cappuccino, matcha, available in various sizes to suit every taste. As for the original Japan, this is reflected in the minimalist, uncluttered white decor, perfect for relaxing.

At the entrance, a large and pleasant terrace, with almost a garden office, is surrounded by trees. On the right, lounge area before going to table. A wall of water acts as a separation, and on the bottom, a beautiful bar in the furniture chosen. The only bar so far to serve the special pressure! The hotel has several dining rooms, including a large fireplace and a few lounges, decorated in the rules of Moroccan art. There are many alcohols, including champagne (count 1 100 DH the bottle). An oriental and international atmosphere. Possible restoration with two cards, one at noon, one in the evening. Perfect for nibble or longer for a romantic evening.

Firstly a life-music restaurant, but it also has a function of international bar where you can come and have a drink. Just like the rather magical place, the wine and cocktail list is just impressive in refinement and flavors. Abdel and his team will make you spend an intense moment in a sparkling atmosphere, in accordance with the reputation of the nights of Marrakech. Drink, have fun, sing, dance... the perfect place to end an evening in beauty and music. And if you are tempted by the dinner, remember to make a reservation.

Taken over by the 16 Café team, 16 Kawa is as neat and elegant as its big brother. A colorful atmosphere for a light, tasty snack. On the menu are wraps, salads and an amazing menu of smoothies based on seasonal fruits and vegetables. Gourmets are not left out: the macaroons and homemade pastries are just as delicious. Take a well-deserved break on the summer terrace, which also leads to the neighbouring concept store, and enjoy the wifi. Special mention for the oriental ice creams.

Don't confuse the Café Majorelle inside the museum with the Villa Majorelle, the latest addition to the district, which can be reached directly from the street. In this haven of peace, you can take a break in the painter's former nursery, to the sound of birdsong. Note the preserved bay windows in front of which Winston Churchill, a guest of the family, used to paint. In this unique tea room, you can enjoy refreshments throughout the day, as well as breakfast.

An exceptional setting, in the heart of the Musée des Confluences, for this café which opened in one of the rooms of the palace. A menu with more than 200 types of Arabica from thirty different countries will delight mocha lovers who will leave with their exotic-sounding find - Zanzibar Gold or Sweet Mexico - bought in the small adjoining store. People rush for the privilege of enjoying a breakfast or a snack in this unique place, art deco with its small alcoves in Victorian style. Be careful, the places are expensive.

This elegant bar with its huge terrace overlooking a modern avenue is no longer presented in Marrakech. It is certainly one of the most convivial places to spend time with friends or family and enjoy the space. Dishes, hamburgers, crepes, pastries or just an omelet with a nos-nos, the menu goes in all directions, to suit everyone's taste, at any time. At night, it's time for lights and cocktails in a more muted atmosphere with a clientele of young partygoers.

Only a few steps from the square, it is impossible to miss this pedestrian street always in effervescence, lined with cafés and stores frequented by a Moroccan youth eager for cell phones and sneakers. The L-shaped terrace of Mabrouka is undoubtedly the ideal spot to observe the passers-by and the animation of the rue des Princes, day and night. We will love to sit down for a moment in this simple and popular place, the time of a cappuccino or a cup of ice cream. An address that everyone knows and where to make appointments.
