Dardar Rooftop, Marrakech
Moroccan-fusion rooftop restaurant & bar with Koutoubia views in the Marrakech medina
Dardar Rooftop sits at 4 Riad Zitoun el Kdim in the heart of the Marrakech medina, just 300 metres from Jemaa el-Fna. Spread across multiple floors with an open-air terrace, it delivers 360-degree panoramic views over the Koutoubia mosque, the medina rooftops, and the Atlas Mountains. The kitchen blends traditional Moroccan recipes with contemporary international touches — think reinvented chicken pastilla, tuna tartare, pink couscous, and slow-cooked tangia — while the bar is one of the few in the medina to serve a full list of cocktails and wines. DJs play most evenings, and the venue hosts live music and occasional entertainment. Smart-casual dress code; advance reservations are recommended for sunset seating.
Pink Couscous à la viande — signature couscous with a modern twist (180 MAD)
Souiri — cactus couscous with seafood, an original house specialty (250 MAD)
Tartare de Thon Rouge — red tuna tartare (130 MAD)
Tangia cuite au four — slow-baked tangia, the Marrakech street classic (200 MAD)
Poulpe Fiction — octopus with chilli and potato mousseline (120 MAD)
