The Rooftop at La Terrasse des Épices

Four floors above the spice square, the Koutoubia lit across the roofs at dusk.

The Rooftop at La Terrasse des Épices

The stairs climb from Souk Cherifia, past the fabric stalls, to a roof cut into booths of woven cane. Rahba Kedima and its spice sellers are directly below. The Koutoubia stands out to the west, and on a clear evening the Atlas sits behind it.

The kitchen keeps to Moroccan salads, grilled fish, and a tanjia ravioli filled with slow-cooked beef shank, preserved lemon and cumin. There is a chocolate pastilla at the end. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free plates are on the card and the meat is halal.

We hold a west-facing booth for sunset. Service runs to half past midnight. Suits an evening after the souks without leaving them, and a table that needs no dress code.
