La azotea de 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.
