Black Chich, Rooftop Restaurant in the Marrakech Medina
Black Chich is a restaurant located on Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid, in the heart of the Marrakech medina. The address has built its reputation on its rooftop, which offers breathtaking views of the medina rooftops, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the Atlas Mountains in the background. It is one of the most spectacular vantage points in the old city.
The menu features a Moroccan-Mediterranean cuisine: tajines, grilled meats, salads, and a few international touches. The cooking is honest and flavorful, though the main draw remains the setting. The drinks list includes cocktails, fresh juices, and Moroccan tea. Brunch is also available on weekends.
The decor blends traditional Moroccan elements with a contemporary twist: dark tones, wrought iron, and ambient lighting that creates an intimate atmosphere in the evening. The rooftop is particularly magical at sunset and after dark, when the city lights take over.
Rated 4.2/5 on Google, Black Chich is recommended primarily for its views and atmosphere. The cuisine is secondary to the experience, but the overall package makes it a memorable stop in the medina.
