Kafe Merstan.

Spectacular views of the sunset in Marrakesh.

A peaceful, chilled vibe as the sun sets.

Kafe Merstan restaurant and rooftop terrace is located near the spice square and vegetable market.

They serve traditional Morroccan food, and prices are very reasonable.

I had one of the tastiest tagines here, and the quality of the food was very good.

It’s popular during sunset, and tourists arrive to watch the sun go down from the pretty rooftop.

It’s quite a spectacular view, and it can get quite busy during this time of evening.

The interior is traditionally decorated with a contemporary, modern twist.

Colourful soft furnishings and rattan light fittings give a homely, boho vibe.

Seating is upstairs on the rooftop, so people with mobility issues may not find it easily accessible.

Payment is by card or cash downstairs. However, there’s a minimum of 200 MAD for a card payment.

The address for Kafe Merstan is 2 Souk Chaaria Kast Benahid, Marrakech 40000, it’s open every day from 12.00-10.00.

The restaurant is close to Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Museum of Marrakech, so it’s in a strategic position if you need a break from sightseeing.

Kafe Merstan also offers a good selection of vegetarian dishes, including a very tasty vegetable pastilla.

I found it to be an ideal spot for lunch because it’s close to many attractions in the medina,including some nice shops.

Kafe Merstan may give you the impression of a ‘no frills’ restaurant from the entrance, but the food was good, and it was clean and cosy upstairs.

It’s an ideal place for travellers on a budget too.
