Our last meal of a long weekend and probably the best. The entrance is unpretentious but upstairs everything is extremely professional. A reassuring start was a bag search, then we were offered sun hats and sun cream as we were in the open. The tajines...were superb, with everything meltingly soft and beautifully caramelised fruits and onions with the lamb. But the highlight was the chocolate pastille - one was enough for two people. Fabulous friendly service.More

***A MUST VISIT*** The customer service was second to none. The staff really went above and beyond for my 25th birthday. We enjoyed such a special meal, I had the lamb (highly recommended) and my partner had the ravioli (also recommended). We were escorted home...by one of the staff, which was a real touch to end the night. We’ve eaten at many restaurants here in Marrakesh, and none compare to the exceptional food and service you will receive from Terrasse des Epices. For a special evening, look no further.More

Very well located terrace in the center of Marrakesh, you can have a 360• view of the city! I came twice during my stay in Marrakesh! Food was fresh and nicely presented by the bartenders! The staff was very friendly to us! Big mention goes...for Meryem, the girl who wants to eagerly learn Spanish! As well as for the Moroccan middle age girl selling cosmetics at the shop (can it be her name was Fadoua?) !More

The most beautiful setting to have an incredible dining experience, in fact my husband said his main meal of "Makfoul Tagine' was one of the nicest dishes he has ever eaten. The staff could not do enough for us and were also extremely knowledgeable about...the food and the history of the food. We also had a mishap with the pot for my main meal and the staff handled with professionalism and could not be more apologetic and made sure I was ok and sorted it efficiently and quickly. Highly recommend you visit this restraunt while in Marrakech.More

It might be a bit pricey, but if you are looking for somewhere with great food and beautiful atmosphere, along with a very attentive staff, this is it. Keep in mind if you are looking for a restaurant with a view, this doesn't really have...a view even though it's located on a rooftop. Even though staff seem a bit formal, it is also a casual setting. The piano player and singer were amazing during dinner. We also stopped here for lunch. Both times the food was really good. One of the best burrata appetizers I've ever had! The only thing that we didn't care for was the apple dessert offered; it was tasteless and weird. Our server Anas was fantastic and made the expereience extra special for me and my husband. I will say the females at the front of the restaurant aren't very friendly and are unaproachable.

This is a very polished and beautiful place with an army of staff which might explain why it’s so expensive! £70+ for two main courses and three drinks seems a bit much, especially in the medina. We went in the evening and although we were...on the roof it didn’t feel like it - it’s a large roof so some of the tables don’t have a view at all, just bear that in mind when you book your rooftop table, The food was nice enough (cheese on salmon was a bit weird though) and you can drink but there’s little add ons to hike the price eg the dish of olives which you are presented with at the start then turn up on the bill, comically described as amuse bouches! They’re just olives?! The waiting staff were lovely, if a bit unnecessarily formal (relax guys!), the six or seven ladies at the reception / payment desk were a bit scary, then you’ve still got to say your final goodbyes to the three or four cheery doormen at the bottom of the stairs. Never seen so many employees! I would say go and have a lovely time here in the knowledge that it’s gonna be a big night out.More

My friend and I had dinner at the restaurant last night. She was celebrating her 70th birthday. The setting and ambiance couldn't be faulted and we had a great meal and celebrated in style. The staff were excellent, and the manager even arranged for one...of his security staff to walk us back through the souk to an area we knew. We had got a bit lost on the way. We will definitely go back.More

Lovely food and attentive service. A good range of beverages and something on the menu for those who wanted something Moroccan or not. Pricey but worth it. We were told we would have to be gone after two hours but we stayed longer with no...issues. The decor was effective as night fell and there was a lovely duo playing guitar and saxophone in the background.More

We had dinner on 9 October. I was disappointed that my first 2 meal choices were not available (beef ravioli and salmon) and ended up with a beef burger which was mediocre and falling apart! Good selection of wines, beers, and spirits. Attentive and friendly...staff.More

This restaurant was such an amazing surprise! It was by far the best restaurant where we ate inside the medina. The staff is extremely professional and the food is excellent. It is an expensive restaurant though, and some dishes might be slightly overpriced. But all...in all we would say that it is worth eating here if you want to have dinner in a beautiful roof terrasse, be served by professional staff and have excellent food.More

Well where do I start ? This place is nothing short of AWESOME! The ambience, food, wines, staff. Just amazing, Went for dinner and came back the following day for lunch as it was Sooooo good . Worried about our return the following day on...the terrace with temperatures at 39c , on arrival we were amazed to find that it was still very comfortable as this establishment automatically sprays ice cold misted air throughout the place to keep you cool ! WOW DONT GO TO MARRAKESH WITHOUT VISITING THIS PLACE As a footnote I must explain that I never write reviews on places as I vote with my feet (No good don’t return) But this place is worth shouting about. Go and enjoy it .More
