From Bab er-Rouah, follow the main medina axis about 150 m, then ask for "Dar La Médina" — every shopkeeper on the street knows it. Signage is minimal on purpose.

Is the roof terrace always open?

April to October in the evenings. In winter the ground-floor salon is used — same menu, more intimate. Ask when you book.

When is couscous served?

Fridays only, following tradition. Order it on arrival — they run out by 2pm for lunch. Dinner service has a set allocation.

Do they take credit cards?

Cash is preferred. Card is accepted for bills over 300 MAD but the Wi-Fi can be patchy — bring dirhams to be safe.

TRADITIONAL MOROCCAN IN THE MEDINA

Dar La Médina Tetawen is tucked off the main medina axis, a five-minute walk from Bab er-Rouah. The restaurant spreads across three levels of a converted townhouse — a ground-floor salon with low banquettes, a mezzanine patio, and a roof terrace used in good weather. The menu is short and traditional: tagines cooked over coals, hand-rolled couscous on Fridays, and the full Moroccan mezze spread as a starter.
