A
Mezzanine
Scoring highly on the fashion meter and for late-opening, this new bar is the hippest thing in the medina – more Ibiza than Moulay Idriss. The terrace overlooking Jnan Sbil gardens is a good place to chill with a beer or cocktail, and there’s tapas too if you want some finger food.

La Pérgola
This café-bar on the pleasure-yacht harbour is an exceedingly pleasant place for a drink in the late afternoon, particularly on its wide sunny terrace on the waterfront.

Cafetéria du 7ème Art
Set in the shady grounds of a cinema, this popular outdoor café attracts a mixed clientele of students and professionals. It’s a relaxed place but the noise of passing traffic makes it less tranquil than Café Maure.

Jenin
This sparkling, modern café is the trendiest in town. The 10 blends of different fruit juices are the highlight, along with the presence of courting couples and groups of young women. A world away from the smoky male cafés on the same block.

Café les Négociants
Watch all of Marrakesh stream past over espresso or nus-nus (half coffee, half milk) at this prime corner location across from the tourist office. The crowd is mostly male, but women are increasingly taking over the tables on the Blvd Mohammed Zerktouni side.

Café Central
The premier people-watching site in the medina, newly renovated. See the local Mafiosi arrive in his new Benz, watch odd specimens of humanity drift past, hear the strange shouts echo down the alleys, and wonder what is going on upstairs. It’s the perfect place to sip your coffee.

Café Central
Conviviality reigns in this sophisticated bar/coffee lounge, with subdued music and an art-deco entrance. The bronze statue of an arm lifting a tankard over the bar – a working beer pull – is an eccentric touch. An excellent place for coffee, brandy or ice cream (or all three) at any time.

Café de Paris
Gravity weighs upon the grand letters of the grand Café de Paris, reminding us of its age at the crossroads of Tangier. Facing the Place de France since 1927, this is the most famous of the coffee establishments along Blvd Pasteur, most recently as a setting in The Bourne Ultimatum. In the past it was a prime gathering spot for literati.

Café Des Épices
Grab a prime spot above the healers and potion-dealers of the Rahba Qedima and watch the magic happen as you sip a reviving caffeinated beverage. The young Marrakshi staff are hip and easygoing, there's free wifi, and if you linger over mint tea long enough, the rooftop terrace offers a sunset view of the souqs. Salads and sandwiches are fresh but bland - all the more reason to skip to the sweets.

Café Du Grand Balcon
The best spot to catch all the action in the Djemaa, with permanent crowds on the front patio to prove it. Older gents hang out inside to avoid the patio jostling and panhandling on the patio, but only families and clandestine lovers actually go upstairs to the quiet 'grand balcon', where service is erratic at best. The OJ here is not freshly squeezed, but there are mean espressos, frothy cappuccinos, and proper tea with mint or steamed milk.
Technically this place serves ice cream, but there's far better around the corner at Ice Legend.

Café Restaurant Bab Laachour
To warm up for an evening out, you could try the terrace at the Café Restaurant Bab Laachour.

Café Hafa
With its stadium seating overlooking the strait, you could easily lose an afternoon lazing in this open-air café, but you need good weather. Locals hang out here to enjoy a game of backgammon.
