Otto Marrakech
Rooftop Mediterranean restaurant above the Medina, near Bahia Palace
Otto Marrakech is a rooftop bar and restaurant perched above the Medina at 229 Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, steps from Bahia Palace. The kitchen runs a Mediterranean line with Italian-Moroccan influences — think black risotto with scallops, grilled octopus, and pistachio-crusted tuna — served against panoramic views of the Koutoubia Mosque. The design is deliberately minimal: neutral tones, clean surfaces, and carefully chosen tableware that contrast with the ornate city below. The atmosphere shifts through the day, from a relaxed lunch terrace to a lively evening lounge with DJ sets after sunset.
Menu highlights
Black risotto with scallops
Grilled octopus with sage infusion and citrus mayonnaise
Pistachio-crusted tuna
Ricotta and lemon zest ravioli
Roasted cauliflower with turmeric butter
Creative cocktails and non-alcoholic mocktails (Lomé, Accra)
Why eat here
