lovely traditional Moroccan food

We stumbled upon this place in the medina shortly before 10pm and were surprised to see clearly marked vegan options! We sat on the upstairs terrace with a beautiful view of the mosque. I had the vegetable tagine and my fiancé had the roasted veg couscous, both were delicious and great value for money - 100% recommend either of their sites in Marrakech!

Great view and good food

Vegan options are clearly labeled on the menu. I chose the Moroccan salad sampler, which consists of six different salads. All were tasty and came with bread (the bread was just ok).
I mainly chose this place for the view and it did not disappoint (go to the third floor if possible)

Pros: Clearly labeled, Tasty food

Cons: No alcohol served (which is very typical here)

We loved it!

We had the vegan salads (it's a two-tiered kind of tapa thing) which were delicious. I was a little worried the pumpkin pureé dish had honey in it, but everything else seemed vegan, as well as the veggie tajin. Both were delicious, and it was fairly priced, good WIFI, you actually can pay by card and the staff are the sweetest.

Pros: Menu with vegan or vegetarian labels, Great location, lovely staff, Wifi and accepts cards

Cons: Not sure if there was honey in the food

Great fresh food

Very nice restaurant, good service. We had the lentil salad which was really nice and fresh, and the vegetable tagine (not the most flavourful but still really good). Reasonably priced and great location

Pros: Fresh healthy food, Good service

Cons: Bit more flavour or spice would be nice

Nice view, ok food.

We wanted dinner, overlooking the plaza. The place was nice. Nice atentive staff (male) with good English. We had vegetable tajine (70 dirhams) and salad (60 dirhams). Both were ok, but no taste explosion. Vegan/vegatarian options are clearly marked. The menu is not very large, so only about 4-5 were vegan. But ok. The view was great.

Pros: Great view

Cons: Small selection of food

Great menu

Not so much options for vegan breakfast and had a feeling maybe staff don't understand veganism so well. They bring us honey although we try to say no.
At the dinner time better options and clearly market on the menu.

Our first night in Marrakech we ate here because I read the reviews on here. It was a nice view over the square and the food was good. I had the vegetable tajine and it tastes very good.

Fresh wholesome food

A small but good selection of Vegan options
The salad comes in 6 small glass jars and is really good and freshly made
The two main vegan meals, being a tangene and a cous cous both are fresh and tasty

Pros: They have 5 or 6 Vegan options across the menu

Cons: Good value

Great location, great food, excellent tea!

Our trip to Zeitoun Cafe started as wanting to sort somewhere with a mint tea, watching the world go by as we overlooked the square and we decided we’d try the food. This was a very good decision as the food was really good! It’s a bit of a cliche to eat tagine everywhere in Morocco but if you spend a bit of time there you get hooked on it so tagine was the order of the day here. It was a great mix of potato, tomato, courgette, carrots and peas in a delicious sauce. As good as the food was though, the mint tea was definitely the star attraction for us. I had an iced mint tea whilst my partner went for the traditional hot mint tea. It really is one of life’s pleasures to just sit back with a small cup of this stuff and take some time to enjoy the moment watching people walking in the square.

Make sure you book a table or head there quite early or very late to get a table on the balcony, otherwise you’ll be indoors.

Pros: Decent vegan choices, Reasonable prices, Top views of Jemma el-Fna

Recommended! I had to return

This place has clearly identifies vegan options to eat, although they are not a whole menu of vegan options, you can manage to return and order something different. Vegan food was so good that even my non-vegan friend ordered a vegan meal the second time we went to this restaurant. Totally recommended.

Pros: Clear vegan options, Good location, Closer to authentic food

Good veg options

Tried the mix salad plates.. had 6 vegan mini salads which were really good. Also had the tajine veggie. Was decently priced and was the best option in the big square.

Delicious food

We were seated on the open terrace upstairs which gave us a bird's eye view of the square. The waiter seemed not to understand when I asked him if they had vegan food as he said no! Yet around half a dozen options were clearly marked as vegan on the menu, and several others which were vegetarian, for my 14 year old and husband. Service was prompt, the food was hot, fresh and delicious and portions were generous. The staff were friendly and attentive but not overbearing, and not breathing down our necks to vacate, although most tables were taken. Prices good - about £40 for a two course meal for 4, including 2 pots of delicious mint tea. Would have no hesitation in going back.

Pros: Lots of vegan choices

Nice Dinner with Great View

Great to find a central restaurant with several clearly labelled vegan options. I had a fruit smoothie and the quinoa salad, both very nice! It's just off the main square so you can watch the hustle of Jemaa el Fna from the terrace. Recommend arriving just before sunset and sitting upstairs!

Pros: Labelled vegan options, Prices reasonable , Great views

Cons: Slowish service
