Dining on a rooftop is one of the most memorable Marrakech experiences, with views over ochre rooftops and the Koutoubia minaret.

An atmosphere built for evening dining

Candles, pierced metal lanterns and Berber rugs create an intimate mood as the sky shifts from gold to deep blue at sunset.

What's typically on the menu

Tagines, couscous, pastilla, grilled skewers; higher-end rooftops add fusion touches. Book ahead for evening slots in high season. Smart casual attire works well.

Riad Dar Kawkawa, a three-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna, points guests toward the best rooftop tables.
