A budget restaurant in Tinsmiths Square.
Melah Cafe restaurant is located in Place des Ferblantiers, otherwise known as Tinsmiths Square.
It is in the oldest Jewish quarter of the city towards the south of Jamaa, El Fna.
This is the area where artisans make things out of copper and tinplate, using skills passed down from generation to generation.
There are shops selling traditional daggers, jewellery, tea trays, incense burners, and lamps.
If you visit the mellah, Melah Cafe restaurant is just one of the many places to stop for a drink or a bite to eat.
The food served is traditional morroccan and international cuisine.
I had a really nice sandwich and fries with a refreshing smoothie, and it was very reasonably priced in comparison to the main square.
There is plenty to watch sitting outside shaded under a large umbrella, and lots of cats wander to and fro across the square.
I like spending time here.
It’s not as busy as other places around the medina and close to attractions like the Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace.
The kasbah is a short walk away.
There is a good selection on the menu at Malah Cafe restaurant, and food suitable for vegetarians and vegans is also available.
Opening times are;
8.30am until 11.00pm.
The address is:
23 Place des Ferblantiers
The Mellah has a huge selection of herbs and spices. Don’t forget to check out the wonderful selection whilst you are visiting Tinsmiths Square.
