Le Grand Cafe de la Poste
$$$ · Upscale·Leashed only
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.
Why it made the list
The terrace is wide, shaded and set back from the boulevard on a flat Gueliz pavement, which makes it the closest thing in Marrakech to a European cafe where a dog can lie under the table.
Good to know before you go
The restaurant's own site confirms the address and the brasserie format, and its booking system takes tables from 09:00 to 23:30, matching the 9am-1am trading day. It publishes no dog policy, so terrace seating is the only option and you should say you have a dog when booking. Gueliz is far more relaxed about dogs than the medina.

Practical notes
Reserve and ask for the terrace explicitly; the interior salon is not suitable for a dog.
Weekday lunch is quieter and the terrace is fully shaded at midday.

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.
