Everything was fine

The menu clearly labels vegan options, which I appreciated. Our group ordered a variety of small dishes to share—none were bad, but none particularly stood out. The total for our group of six was around 625, which felt okay for a smaller meal.

Here’s a breakdown of what we tried:

Soups: The barley soup lacked flavor, while the pumpkin and lentil soups were better

Starters: The pumpkin starter was simply pureed pumpkin and could have used seasoning, wouldn't recommend. The salad sampler was the best—especially the eggplant salad, which was flavored, and the other salad, which was fresh. The lentil crepe and hummus were dense and a bit dry.

Falafel plates: Just okay 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dessert: I forget the name, but the peanut cookies were tasty

Overall, a decent experience, but would have appreciated a bit more flavor for the price.

Fantastic Food & Great Staff

We were really impressed with the choices and quality of food here.

We ordered 4x dishes to share, however 2 were the same, and the waiter convinced us we didn’t need that much food - he was right! His honesty saved us some money.

My personal favourite was the lentil soup.

I would score 5* if Happy Cow would allow it.

Characterful, friendly space

Lots of clearly marked vegan (and GF) options. Different fare to many other places eg lentil crepes. Flavourful food and friendly service at very reasonable prices. Casual spot worth checking out. (Note: serves meat also, but had a strong veggie clientele)

Pros: Flavourful , Friendly , Casual

Good value and generous portions with a nice rooftop. Food was fine, we had the falafel, houmous, tabbouleh, aubergine and lentils which was a very large meal for 2! Everything clearly marked as vegan which is hard to come by in Morocco!

Delicious home cooked meals!

This is some of the best traditional home cooked food I’ve had in Morocco. Everything on the menu is clearly marked and there are heaps of vegan and vegetarian options. I absolutely loved the lentil soup. Definitely stop here, 100% recommend, in Morocco (land of meat). #Veganuary

Good if you have a sweet tooth!

We headed here for the peanut butter cookies, which were nice, but we had them with a banana ice cream. One portion of each was enough for us both.
The hot chocolate was amazing - so silky and decadent!
A wonderful place and the food was lovely.

Pros: Banana ice cream, Peanut butter cookies, Hot chocolate (no milk)

Cons: The toilet would be a challenge if you’re tall!

Amazing cookies, the rest is bland

We had the zazouuk and the falafel and both we really lacking taste. Also 65dh for 4 falafels was quite expensive. But the peanut butter cookies are amazing, get these!!

Pros: Cookies, Nice staff, Nice terrace

Cons: Food was tasteless, A bit pricey

Dear ChiaraWitt, thanks for writing. We are disappointed you were not pleased with all of your choices, but please, we want to mention that the "4 pieces of falafel" come with a full plate of fresh veg, as well as bread and olives. Best wishes, Lori and Rachid

Bit pricey...

The food was good, but 65d, for 4 small falafel and some salad, was way overpriced!

Pros: Good food

Cons: Very, very small portions...

Dear RodHorlock, we are happy that you thought the food was good, but we have to disagree with you about the portions. We are happy you have a very healthy appetitie but we get many comments stating that our portions are generous. Best wishes, Lori and Rachid

Reliable spot

Really good selection of vegan options. I had the salad selection and then the cookies (think cornflakes and peanut butter). Roof terrance is ok but not the best views

Dear acmoralee, thanks so much for the review. We are super happy you liked our food and you are right, we do not have a view-but with the scarcity of cafes with vegan options in Marrakech, we are happy you agree that the view is a secondary consideration. Best wishes, Lori and Rachid

Good clearly marked vegan food

The food was good and I enjoyed my falafel plate. My omnivore family also enjoyed their dishes. Unfortunately my sister found a hair in her meal but the restaurant was extremely kind about it. Nevertheless I would still recommend it to eat especially if you are unsure about meals that are not specifically vegan.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan , Gluten free options, Good amount of choice

Cons: Unsure of kitchen hygiene

LorikgordonMHAC

31 Dec 2024

Dear AshElle, thanks so much for the review. We are happy that you all enjoyed the meal and we apologize for a hair-that is never a pleasant experience even in the home kitchen-but we can assure you that our kitchen is indeed hygienic. A hair found in food can occur in even the cleanest of cafes. Best wishes, Lori and Rachid

Fav place in Marrakech!

I visited here twice during my visit to Marrakech, the food is incredible! The staff are really friendly and the menu is really great for vegans. Our favourite was the cookies, lentils, crepes and platter. There's a terrace and we managed to see the sunset in the evening, otherwise there's indoor seating and you can also get henna!
Oh, the amlou cookies are amazing!! ♥️

Pros: Amazing menu with vegan options

Solid place for vegans

A nice place to have food and also buy some art, a good few vegan options which were nice. Staff clearly knew what Vegan was, which is always a bonus! Definitely get the cookies, they are AMAZING!

A good affordable find

We visited this cafe twice and enjoyed the food. Starter and mains seemed to be quite similar in size which was peculiar but vegan dishes were clearly marked and everything was great value

Pros: Good portions, Very affordable , Good selection of vegan options

Cons: Mains were a bit simple

I went for dinner here and tried multiple dishes. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was great. I was curious to see what the “avocado” boat would be and it was actually pretty good. Am hoping to come back another time while in the city!
