Stylish rooftop in the Medina serving solid Moroccan classics and accessible international plates with warm hospitality; great views, sometimes slow pacing, and prices above local casual spots.

Why it gets an A- for overall quality

Les Terrasses Des Arts Marrakech delivers solid A-grade performance through well-executed Moroccan cuisine with reliable international options and exceptional rooftop setting with gallery ambience and Medina views. Warm, personalized service elevates the experience, though recurrent slow pacing and occasional consistency dips in food execution prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. It ranks among Marrakech's better dining destinations for special occasions and sunset dining.

Restaurant Summary

High above the Medina bustle, this spot feels like a calm gallery with city-and-mountain views from layered terraces. Service is warm and personable—one diner said it felt like being looked after by friends—while a complimentary sweet often ends the night. Expect a romantic rooftop, a stroll past striking photographs, and an unhurried pace that suits sunset. The cooking leans Moroccan with lamb and fish tajines, pastilla, and harira, supported by easygoing international plates like burgers, penne, and a beef fillet. It reads as elevated traditional rather than flashy; desserts like the chocolate fondant are crowd-pleasers. Pricing sits above casual spots but matches the setting and consistency for most guests. For families, it is comfortable and welcoming. Kids who prefer simple flavors can go for pasta or burgers, and mild tajines work for adventurous eaters. There is no kids menu called out, but the menu has several familiar options and staff accommodate simple requests.
