"A fabulous find, just near the entrance to Kasbah museum. The most beautiful interior - and 5 floors of seating including a great rooftop view. Interior design is top notch and done by the owner, changing seasonally. Food was excellent (the affogato was great) and staff really attentive. The owner is the nicest lady"

"The view is outstanding. The Italian hostess and her crew are super friendly and helpful. Food is good too but most people go for drinks and the view. A beautiful hidden gem."

"My partner and I stopped here as the exterior looked nice, it was one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to! I would strongly recommend going to the rooftop for some amazing views, and absolutely wonderful ambiance! We got a lemon juice and orange juice, both great, lemon juice was very strong . I also realized about 2 hours after we left I forgot to tip so really sorry about that, but should I ever be in Tangier again I will most definitely be making a stop here! The staff was also very nice!"
