The best bars and cafés Marrakech

A little tired of tagine? This is the place we've been waiting for to go out with our girlfriends in a modern setting and especially to devour healthy snacks without feeling guilty. The Mandala keeps all its promises! You can enjoy an avocado sandwich, so popular with vegans, or quesadillas at any time. They also offer brunches and matcha lattes to be consumed with a homemade cake on the terrace. Healthy, greedy, warm... in short, a lot of pleasure, to share or not.

At the entrance of the Carré Eden shopping center in the heart of Guéliz, it is impossible to miss the terrace of the Table du Marché which taunts us. It's simple, it's always full and sometimes you have to wait to take a seat. It must be said that there is no better place to have a good coffee with a pastry, or even a full beldi breakfast, while watching the activity of the shopping district unfold before our eyes. Moreover, the establishment is part of a renowned group, guaranteeing the quality of the products. A reference in Marrakech.

This trendy spot is a favorite with Marrakchis, who come to enjoy the shady terrace and sip a latte or aperitif in a pleasant setting with sober, vintage furniture. If the evening goes on, the tapas, burgers and other seasonal suggestions are just waiting to be devoured. There are also regular exhibitions, such as the recent one on concert posters. And when the owner has a musical crush, he shares it live. While waiting for the next concert, DJs frequently liven up the evenings.

Don't be mistaken, and even if some books are lying around, the name of this café is just a mischievous wink to the famous bookshop. Located in the middle of the souks, the place is known to all and you will have to take steep stairs to reach the terrace. Nevertheless, it remains an easy address when you want to take a break after walking through the alleys. What could be better than a good and invigorating mint tea before resuming your peregrinations? You can also sit down and watch the waltz of the passers-by.

Parisians are no doubt familiar with the head office of Shirvan Café Métisse and now the Marrakchis also have their own branch in the sumptuous Mandarin Oriental hotel. One can enjoy the decoration signed by the duo Gilles and Boissier while spending a moment at the bar where one can taste tasty signature cocktails. The most original is called the Kech, where champagne, vodka, cucumber, lemon, basil and elderflower syrup are perfectly mixed, a real program! To keep this drink from going to your head, accompany it with a platter of appetizers to share.

On the ground floor of the Radisson Blue, between floral arrangements and an eclectic boutique, a gourmet showcase has taken up residence, perfectly complementing the hotel's offerings. A farandole of shapes, colors and flavors wink at us in the window and tantalize our taste buds. We owe this profusion of delights to Chef Mouad, a highly creative pastry chef who has the merit of using almost exclusively local ingredients and products to make éclairs, macaroons and other fruity tarts... Enough to delight even the most demanding sweet palates.

Within the sumptuous Namaskar Palace worthy of the 1,001 nights, the Nomad Bar occupies the roof of the hotel. The view on the sea of palm trees is just dazzling, especially when the sun sets, one could not demand a more magical show. As for revelry, you can opt for one of the many signature cocktails that can be accompanied by tapas of all kinds. And you can enjoy the ambient music, sometimes even with the sound of a DJ. Finally, if you want to be a prince for a night, you can indulge your passion for chichas.

Fancy a 100% organic ice cream while admiring the roofs of the medina? It's at the Bazaar Café that you can answer this greedy temptation. The flavors are endless: almond, mint, fig, rose, jasmine, lavender, cinnamon, orange cream, without forgetting the dark chocolate, of course. Made with top quality local ingredients, seasonal fruits, spices and Moroccan herbs, these ice creams alone are a journey. You can also eat some street-food inspired salty food or just relax with a cold beer.
