Le Salama review: our verdict
Three floors, seating for over 200, and an oriental dancer who takes the stage every evening at 9 p.m.: Le Salama is not about intimacy. The decor blends colonial inspiration with Moroccan craftsmanship, featuring banana trees, mashrabiya screens, chandeliers, and leather, while the menu sticks to classics just steps from Jemaa el-Fna: tangia, lamb shoulder, hearty tagines, and small kemia plates to start.
People come in groups for a festive evening, to watch a match in the air-conditioned rooms, or for an aperitif on the covered terrace overlooking the medina and the Atlas Mountains. It is not suitable for a dinner for two where you want to hear each other clearly: the music sometimes drowns out conversation, and when the room is full, service loses its coordination.
The good tip: happy hour, two drinks for the price of one, to be enjoyed on the rooftop at sunset. The pitfall: peak hours, when some dishes arrive lukewarm at the table. In the cellar, the Gris Volubilia bottle costs over 500 DH (recorded in January 2026).
