Cafe Clock.

A cross-cultural cafe chain in the Kasbah district of Marrakech.

Cafe Clock is a cultural hub based in Fez, Marrakech, and Chefchouen.

It was founded by Mike Richardson when he visited Fez in 2006 and fell in love with the ancient city.

It was named after the centuries old water clock situated on the facing wall of the Bou Inania Madrasa.

Cafe Clock is now a buzzing hub of culture where you can sample its famous camel burgers.

This lively space in the Kasbah district is a converted old school house and is renowned for its storytelling and live music that takes place most evenings.

Cafe Clock is popular with young Moroccans learning the ancient traditional art of storytelling and travellers who are curious.

There is nice energy here, and it’s a great place to come and chill.

At Cafe Clock, you can take  cookery classes.

You will be taken to the local markets to buy fresh ingredients before learning how to make a traditional Morroccan dish.

The interior of Cafe Clock has been decorated by local artists who have added a unique touch.

Colourful vintage Berber cushions and an attractive display of whimsical finds around a large open fireplace give off a homely relaxing atmosphere.

I visited during December, and it was cold outside.

Sitting by the roaring fire, listening to live acoustic guitar playing was just what I needed to feel warm and cosy.

The menu is very good and offers an interesting choice for vegetarians and vegans.

I particularly recommend the falafel Super Bowl and vegetable pastilla.

If you’re travelling around Morocco, Cafe Clock is also extending its empire into other areas like Chefchouen.

Opening times for Cafe Clock are 9.00 am until 11.00pm daily.

The address is;

224 Derb Chtouka, Marrakech.

Cafe Clock is a popular cultural space dedicated to keeping the ancient culture of Marrakech alive.

Whether it’s traditional gnawa musicians or the best raconteurs in Marrakech entertaining you, you can expect a very interesting experience eating here.

Cafe Clock also serves breakfast, with a good variety of choices on the menu.
