Café des Épices Review

This is my favorite place for people-watching in the medina. For almost 5 years, Youness el Ghoul and his extended family have been dispensing information and a menu that includes tasty sandwiches, salads, pastries, and spiced teas and coffees to flush-faced tourists looking for a rest stop. The rooftop terrace is a great place to enjoy the sunset, while the first-floor chill-out lounge has become a meeting place for young, arty Marrakchis. The interior walls are traditional ocher tadelakt and the atmosphere is new world, with a soundtrack to match. The cafe is Wi-Fi connected.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
