Terrace Bakchich.

A humble little restaurant in the medina

This unassuming restaurant cafe in the medina is undoubtedly one of the most popular amongst the locals in Marrakech.

The Guardian voted it one of the 10 best places to eat in the medina.

From the outside, it doesn’t look all that inviting, but the food is entirely another story.

There are a number of tagines on the menu, and most diners come just to sample those.

Choose from rabbit, fish, meat, or vegetarian options. They’re all cooked to perfection by the well-known and respected friendly chef.

This lively little restaurant has almost become an institution. It’s not just a meal. It’s an experience.

For travellers on a budget, the food here is cheap but not at the expense of its quality.

Upstairs, there is a small rooftop terrace overlooking the lively alleyways of the souk.

It is opposite Chez Bismillah Sand Coffee and impossible to miss with its colourful and quirky interior.

Somehow, Terrace Bakchich has managed to retain its authenticity amidst the growing tide of tourism.

It is not fancy. The food speaks for itself.

If you’re looking for good food in an environment that is charming, rustic, and cosy, this place is for you.

The experience of eating with the locals is the best way to get to know the culture of the city.

Terrace Bakchich is close to the vegetable and fruit markets, so ingredients are always bound to be fresh.

With the most expensive dish on the menu being only 150 dirhams, eating here is kind to the pocket, leaving more money to spend on the wonderful things in the souks.

The restaurant accepts cash only, so make sure you have some if you’re thinking of visiting.

The location is 294 Rue Talaa Marrakech, and opening times are 10.00am until 10.00pm daily.

Outdoor seating is available.
