Café des Épices

Présentation

Café des Épices has been my go-to medina pit stop for years — three floors above Rahba Kedima, the old spice square where vendors still weigh cumin by hand. The rooftop terrace on the top floor gives you a genuine close-up of the medina rooftop landscape: terracotta, satellite dishes, storks on minarets, and on a clear day the Atlas as a white wall on the horizon. Nothing here is polished or overpriced. The menu is honest café food — fresh juices, salads, sandwiches, crêpes, mint tea poured from height. No alcohol, which is part of what keeps the crowd authentic: a mix of medina traders taking a break, backpackers who found it in a guidebook five editions ago, and the occasional French expat who treats it like their local. Dress code is casual, service is unhurried (build that into your schedule), and you pay Moroccan prices for a Moroccan experience on one of the most photographed squares in Africa.
