Spectacular views of the sunset in Marrakesh.
Kafe Merstan restaurant and rooftop terrace is located near the spice square and vegetable market in the medina.
They serve traditional Morroccan food, and prices are very reasonable.
I had one of the tastiest tagines here, and the overall quality of the food was good.
It’s popular during sunset, and tourists arrive to watch the sun go down from the pretty rooftop.
It’s quite a spectacular sight, therefore it can get busy during this time of evening.
The interior is traditional with a fairly modern twist.
Colourful soft furnishings and rattan light fittings give a homely, boho vibe.
The food is competitively priced, and the little restaurant is clean and humble.
Seating is upstairs on the rooftop, so people with mobility issues may not find it easy to access.
Payment is by card or cash. However, there’s a minimum of 200 MAD for card payment.
The address for Kafe Merstan is 2 Souk Chaaria Kast Benahid, Marrakech 40000.
Opening hours are 12.00 until
10.00pm.
The restaurant is close to the Madrasa Ben Youssef and Museum of Marrakech, so it’s in a strategic position and ideal for taking a break from sightseeing.
Kafe Merstan offers a good selection of vegetarian dishes, including a very tasty vegetable pastilla.
It’s an ideal spot for lunch.
Cafe Merstan may give you the impression of a ‘no frills’ restaurant, but the food was exceptionally good.
It’s an ideal place for travellers on a budget.
