Stylish modern-Moroccan spot with a lovely rooftop, attentive multilingual service, creative dishes like tanjia and mechoui, and prices above medina norms; best for travelers seeking polished dining over bargain bites.
Le Trou Au Mur delivers solid A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by standout Moroccan mains and exceptional rooftop setting appeal that justifies its premium positioning. However, inconsistent execution on dishes like mechoui and occasional service delays prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. Warm, knowledgeable staff and a peaceful medina escape make this a reliable choice for those seeking elevated Moroccan dining with atmosphere.
Tucked in the medina, this spot pairs a lovely rooftop terrace with warm, multilingual service and polished plates. One guest noted, "We felt looked after from arrival to goodbye," while another praised the peaceful escape from the souks. The cooking leans modern-Moroccan: tanjia and mechoui share the stage with a few global touches, delivering elevated traditional flavors rather than theatrics. Highlights include tender tanjia and creative house-made ices, though salads and bread can underwhelm and a few nights run slow. Families do fine here if children enjoy simple flavors. The menu offers kid-comfort options like mac and cheese and grilled items, but the vibe is more date-night than playground. Prices are higher than casual spots nearby, so plan accordingly.
Area vibe: Historic medina lanes near Ben Youssef; atmospheric, tourist-heavy, with rooftop dining draw.
Safety: Busy and generally safe with foot traffic, but occasional touts and scams reported around alleys.
What's nearby: Close to Medersa Ben Youssef, souks, riads; taxis require short walk through alleys.
Tanjia and Mixed Mechoui are the must-orders, with house-made ice creams as a reliable dessert.
A polished, scenic rooftop with a calm-to-lively vibe that feels more like a date-night destination than a loud bar.
