Cafe Arabe
$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
A riad restaurant and rooftop bar off Rue Mouassine serving Moroccan and Italian food continuously from late morning to midnight, with a courtyard patio, a misted roof terrace and Koutoubia views at sunset.
Why it made the list
Two outdoor levels plus all-day service mean you can pick a quiet afternoon slot on the patio with a dog instead of squeezing into a dining room at dinner.
Good to know before you go
The restaurant's own site confirms continuous service 11am-midnight, an open patio and a rooftop, and a separate air-conditioned interior room. No dog policy is published anywhere on it, so the patio or roof is the only sensible place for a dog and admission is at staff discretion; phone before you walk over. Source: cafearabe.com.
Practical notes
Come between 3pm and 5pm, when the lunch crowd has gone and the roof is shaded.
The lane to the door is narrow and crowded; a short lead is essential.

House rules and verification
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
An eight-hectare 18th-century princely orchard opposite the Koutoubia, rehabilitated in 2005 with Maroc Telecom money into a free public garden with shaded alleys, olive and citrus trees, pools and a small communications museum. It is the only large green space within walking distance of Jemaa el-Fna.
A red-tadelakt cafe on the spice square, spread over three floors with a roof terrace looking over the souk towards the Atlas. The menu runs from beldi breakfast and fresh juice to salads, burgers and tagines, and it has been the square's anchor since the 1990s.
A 1920s colonial-era brasserie on a Gueliz corner, restored by Studio KO, with high ceilings, a long bar, an upstairs music salon and a 70-seat terrace under the trees. The menu is French with Moroccan accents, from oysters and steak tartare to lamb tagine.
