A relaxed rooftop terrace attached to an Italian-influenced restaurant near the souks, popular for a mellow evening of wine and shared plates above the Medina rooftops.
L'Osteria's rooftop terrace sits above its ground-floor Italian-Moroccan fusion restaurant near the northern edge of the souks, offering a calmer, less see-and-be-seen alternative to the bigger-name rooftop bars closer to Jemaa el-Fnaa. The wine list leans toward reasonably priced Moroccan and imported bottles, complementing a food menu that blends Italian classics like pasta with Moroccan spicing and ingredients. Low lighting, simple furnishings, and unobstructed rooftop views over the surrounding Medina give the space an easygoing, conversation-friendly mood rather than a scene built around cocktails or music. It draws a mix of couples, small groups of friends, and travelers staying nearby who want a straightforward evening of wine and food without the crowds or pricing of the more famous terraces. Because the venue is smaller and less internationally known, it rarely requires the advance reservations that busier rooftop bars demand, though weekend evenings can still fill the limited seating.
