With a clientele of foreigners and creative young Fassis and a staff that's cheerful despite the maze of stairs in the multilevel space, Clock is an ideal place to rest and nourish yourself. The menu is a refreshing Moroccan-Euro mix: a signature camel burger, ras el hanout–spiced potato wedges and interesting vegetarian options, among other goodies.
Adding to the cafe is its cultural schedule, mostly free, of storytelling, live music, movies and more – there's something on every night. (It's a good idea to book ahead in the evening, as it can be packed.)
The cafe is at the end of a dark, shoulder-width alley. Look for the small orange-and-blue sign (or a larger one for the Chinese restaurant at the corner) just below the left end of the water clock on Talaa Kebira.
