Café Arabe: An Authentic Oasis in the Heart of the Medina of Marrakech
For over 20 years, Café Arabe has embodied elegance and tradition in the heart of Marrakech's Medina. Located on Mouassine Street, one of the busiest lanes in the Medina, our restaurant is the perfect spot to take a break after a day of shopping in the vibrant souks.
Upon arrival, you'll be transported to a realm where Moorish architecture harmonizes beautifully with modern touches. The restaurant's decor draws inspiration from traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. The striking shades of Majorelle blue and vibrant green add a
contemporary flair, while exquisite zellige mosaics, intricately carved windows, and geometric mashrabiyas celebrate the authenticity of Moroccan architecture. Upstairs, stunning vintage paintings enhance the visual journey, further enriching our visitors’ experience.
On the ground floor, you're welcomed by an enchanting patio, a lush space where bitter orange trees create a soothing atmosphere. With its retractable roof, the patio is bathed in natural light during the day and offers a view of the starry sky at night. It’s the ideal setting for enjoying al fresco dining or unwinding with a drink at the bar. This friendly space provides a true haven of peace in the heart of Medina, where you can savor a delightful lunch or dinner under the stars.
For cooler evenings, our indoor dining room envelops you in a warm and inviting atmosphere, thanks to its lovely fireplace. Like the rest of the restaurant, this space is adorned in the Moorish style, blending tradition and modernity with refined details and warm colors that create an intimate and elegant ambiance.
The rooftop at Café Arabe is one of the most beautiful terraces in Marrakech, offering breathtaking views of Medina's rooftops and the majestic Koutoubia. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a spectacular sunset with a glass of wine or a cocktail in hand.
Soon, a new space on the first floor will enhance your experience: a cozy boutique bar where you can enjoy a drink or meal in a unique setting. This new area, designed for your comfort, will also feature a shop offering local products, allowing you to take home a piece of your visit as a cherished souvenir.
In terms of gastronomy, Café Arabe stands out with a menu that blends traditional Moroccan
flavors with Italian inspirations. Our talented chefs strive to create dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients, providing a rich and varied culinary experience. Whether you’re drawn to the spicy aromas of a tagine or prefer the delicacy of Italian pasta, our menu is crafted to
satisfy every craving.
Café Arabe is also one of the few restaurants in Medina to offer an extensive selection of wines and cocktails. Our bartender is at your service to help you choose the perfect wine or a delicious cocktail to complement your meal.
Finally, our continuous service from 10:30 a.m. to midnight allows you to enjoy this unique experience at any time of the day. Whether it’s a late brunch, a leisurely lunch, or a romantic dinner, our team is ready to welcome you with joy and warmth.
More than just a restaurant in Marrakech, Café Arabe is a unique place where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to provide you with a memorable experience, rich in authenticity and refinement.
