Cafe des Epices

$$ · ModerateLeashed only

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.

Why it made the list

The rooftop gives a dog somewhere to lie beside your table in the open air rather than on a medina floor, with shade, misters in summer and constant people-watching.

Good to know before you go

The cafe's own site gives the address as 75 Rahba Lakdima and the hours as 9am-11pm every day. It publishes no dog policy: the roof terrace is the only realistic option and access is up narrow stairs, so a small dog is far easier than a large one. Confirm with staff at the door before climbing. Source: cafedesepices.ma.

Practical notes

  • Ask for the top-floor terrace rather than the ground floor, which is cramped and busy.
  • Late morning is the quietest window; the square is packed from mid-afternoon.
