Restaurant Triana is a restaurant with a bar menu in the upper medina of Chefchaouen, on R. Aljanah Al Akhdar, in Morocco's Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. Its name and menu reflect the Andalusian and Spanish influence that is strong in northern Morocco, and it is listed here because it is one of the few places in town where an evening drink is served with dinner. Chefchaouen has no dedicated nightclubs, so venues like Triana form the core of what nightlife the town offers: unhurried, seated, and food-led.
The crowd is mainly international travellers and couples in their late twenties to sixties, with some Moroccan diners. There is no dress code beyond ordinary smart-casual clothes, and modest dress is appreciated in the conservative medina. The atmosphere is that of a relaxed restaurant at night rather than a bar with a bar-top crowd; conversation, dinner and a drink are the evening's format. Music is incidental and usually recorded, without DJs or live programming, so the venue suits visitors who want a quiet drink after a day of walking the blue lanes.
The food and drink programme combines Spanish and Mediterranean dishes with Moroccan staples, and the bar menu lists wine and beer rather than a cocktail list. Prices in licensed venues in Chefchaouen run higher than in cafes, with beer commonly around 40 to 60 MAD (about $4 to $6.50). Hours are given as evenings only, and visitors should confirm opening and closing times locally because they vary with the season and the day of the week; weekends and holiday periods are the busiest and often stay open later. No cover charge is typically asked. Reservations are rarely essential but are sensible for groups or for a terrace or window table at peak times, and bottle service is not a feature. Because the restaurant is in the upper medina, the walk includes cobbled, sloping, stepped lanes that are dimly lit at night, so a phone torch and sturdy shoes are useful. Payment is typically in cash in dirhams, so visitors should carry small notes, particularly outside the main dining hours.
