Description: This restaurant/ bar is a true find. Located just meters off Djema el Fna square it has an ambience and elegance not previously found on the square. Having just opened in December 2011 the service is superb and vibrant. Le Salama is spread over 3 levels allowing to cater for over 200 guests and is crowned with a panoramic terrace overlooking the Atlas mountains and a 360 degree view of the medina. The menu offers modern Moroccan cuisine including delights such as Monkfish Tagine or Lamb Shank with caramelized tomatoes and poached pear. Mouthwatering! This is the perfect place for a tea break, sipping a cocktail or a good local Moroccan wine or even having a meal after shopping in the souk.

Le Salama is less than a block off the main square with a dark but elegant interior and beautiful views from the top floor. The food was pricy but the lamb tajine with tomatoes and onions was one of the best meals I've had - it was excellent. The beer and wine are also overpriced - but this is standard... More

We enjoyed some wonderful hariri, pastilla, and some tagines. All delicious and accompanied by fresh baked bread that was out of this world. Large portions.

Hi we were enticed to this bar by the happy Hour promotion and the wish for a quiet drink. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. Two cocktails with ice were served at the same time- so we sent one back as it would have melted in no time at all. Could not taste the alcohol in the cocktail. Later... More

The place is expensive, but you know that in advance. The atmosphere is very nice and it has a good view in the terrace. I got there with my girlfriend thinking that with the "happy hour" offer it will not be that bad. We got 2 beers, but the other 2 that came along (the happy hour offer) had no... More

Thanks for your feedback. To clarify we do not serve draught beer at Le Salama and can therefore not fill draught beer into bottles. The beer we serve is a local brand and is stored on ice due to the big turn around during Happy Hour. As a result the labels can at times come off. You neither need to... More

We wanted a drink before dinner and it was not so easy to find one in the medina. Before making our way up we were told by an employer at the bottom of the stairs who was giving out flyers that ladies get one free drink as it was happy hour. We then ordered two mojtos and instead we got... More

Cozy Interior. Someone writes authentic Moroccan style but it is not. The food is good but not very Moroccan. Beer and wine is expensive. Service is good. something as rare as female servants. Centrally located. Well recommended if you are tired of traditional tagine .....

We had been recommended this restaurant by our guide and on arrival the place was laid out nicely. The food was okay but nothing special however midway through the main course a large cockroach fell onto the floor by our table. Our waitress wanted to nothing to do with it as she was too scared and called another waiter to... More

We visited here for pre-dinner drinks on the top deck and had to repeat the experience another evening because we liked it so much (we did not eat here). Realy nice atmosphere/ambience, interesting seating round the sides, nice chill out music (first time, not so good second time so may be a bit variable). They have massive sliding widows they...

Ok... Went up to top deck to have beer at sunset. My wife wanted a small still water, me a beer. Two very small bottles of unlabelled and opened beer bottles produced, a 1L bottle of water (unopened) and all this after 20 minutes from placing order. The two bottles were for 'happy hour'. My wife said she would have... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on our establishment. I'm sorry if your experience wasn't everything you had hoped for. I believe you may have unfortunately misunderstood our servers, but our very popular happy hour special is actually per person (as our servers explain to people when they order), so it's not possible for a couple to...

This restaurant is very beautifully decorated in typical Moroccan style, it caters to pretty much tourists as it has the belly dancers and stuff. The food was very good and the atmosphere nice the only thing we were very disappointed with was the service. For the amount of money you are paying for a meal there (which is high for... More
