CAFES MARRAKECH
Found in western Morocco, Marrakech is a stunning city for yoga retreats with some of the finest yoga instructors in the world. When you’re not doing yoga, however, you need to discover the city and you’ll soon be struck by the sheer number of quaint, unique cafes. For this reason, we’ve listed ten of our favourites below!
Grand Cafe de La Poste
Based in Gueliz, a modern part of town, it’s easy to see the European and Moorish influences in this homely cafe. Offering chaise lounges, club chairs, and plenty of cushions, it’s not hard to relax in this warm and musical atmosphere. What’s more, the French/Moroccan food is succulent.

Cafe du Livre
For avid readers, this half cafe/half library will allow you to enjoy lunch and a hot drink while dipping into a book. With over 2,000 books from which to choose, it’s a great place to lose yourself for a couple of hours and one your Marrakech yoga teacher is likely to recommend.
Henna Cafe
As the name suggests, this cafe has the unique proposition of offering henna tattoos, a kids’ club, and Moroccan Arabic classes while enjoying brunch. Through such classes and traditional Berber dishes, all profits go towards education projects in the city so it’s worth your time (and money!).
Cafe Arabe
Although in the medina of Marrakech, you’ll be away from the souks in this cafe and can enjoy Moroccan/Italian cuisine at its finest. Whether you sit in the lounge or terrace, this colorful cafe is a great way to escape and continue your Marrakech yoga retreat.
Cafe Clock
All you need to know about Cafe Clock is that they offer beautiful views of the sunset over the Kasbah, they excel in camel burgers, and it’s located in a traditional school; people from all over the world come to visit for these three reasons alone.
Cafe des Epices
Based across three floors, this cafe is all about spices from cinnamon coffee to spiced tea. Boasting a brilliant rooftop, you can enjoy the Atlas mountains or you can enjoy the traditional Marrakech architecture and colors inside.
Un Déjeuner a Marrakech
Not too far from Jemaa el Fna, this cafe has its own square, a roof terrace, and outside tables to meet the needs of everybody. Alongside a relaxed atmosphere, you’ll find salmon sandwiches, warm goats cheese, and fresh fruit drinks in this brilliant cafe.
La Perle de Sud
This time, we’re going into Jemaa el Fna and a cafe with breathtaking views of the square and the Kutoubia mosque. Leaning towards being a restaurant as well as a cafe, this one is for foodies who want gourmet dishes in Moroccan lounges, a pergola, or even a Berber tent. Wherever you choose to eat, you’ll enjoy the relaxed atmosphere (an extension of your Marrakech yoga) and Moroccan music.
Cafe Littéraire
For our penultimate suggestion, we have a cafe in one of Marrakech’s oldest riads and it’s an homage to the traditional architecture found across the city. As well as juices and teas, you’ll be able to enjoy sculptures, exhibitions of painters, and they even host workshops and concerts that may suit you perfectly.

Earth Cafe
Finally, we return to Jamaa el Fna for a cafe based down a little side street. Currently, this cafe is the only establishment that caters for vegetarians and vegans exclusively. Not only this, the owner grows most ingredients on his own farm; if you’re looking for ways to spend free time on your Marrakech yoga retreat, you can even arrange a cooking class or a visit to his farm (just outside the city!).
With these ten cafes, there’s no way you’ll have a lack of places to eat on your Marrakech yoga stay. Why not look some of them up online and see which take your fancy?
