HENNA ART CAFE.

A great place to visit for a spot of lunch in the medina.

The first place I go after arriving in the medina is Henna Art Cafe.

It’s the perfect spot to stop and refuel myself.

I can familiarise myself with where I am and check Google maps for the location of my riad.

It’s a quirky place with decent food and the funkiest little bathroom, even if it is a bit of a tight squeeze.

On the first floor, you can get henna tattoos done, and there are plenty of designs to choose from.

All are 100% natural.

It’s a really relaxing vibe here, and I often enjoy a light snack at lunchtime whilst shopping in the medina.

It’s also very reasonably priced.

There is a good selection of food on the menu, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options are available.

There is free WiFi, and you can often find digital nomads enjoying a quick bite to eat here. 

It’s a friendly place and a good introduction to the medina without being too in your face..

Henna Art Cafe is located in the heart of the medina, just  three minutes stroll down Riad Zeitoun al Kdim from Djemma El Fna.

It is open 7 days a week from 11 to 8.30 PM.

During Ramadan, it closes earlier at 5.30 PM.

Payment is taken downstairs on the way out, and cards are accepted here.

After a nice meal and a rest at Henna Art Cafe, I’m ready to tackle the challenge of trying to locate my riad.
