Nomad

Based on recommendations from travel influencers, TV features, and our Airbnb host, we were excited to dine here and booked an 8:00 PM rooftop reservation hoping to catch the sunset. We were seated promptly, which we appreciated. Our table was along a row of two-tops and unfortunately on the opposite side of a wall that partially blocked the sunset view. While neither of these things significantly impacted our experience, they did make the rooftop setting feel a little less special than we had anticipated. The main disappointment was the food. Given the restaurant’s reputation, we expected a more memorable dining experience. We completely understand and respect that alcohol is not served, though we were surprised there wasn’t a dedicated mocktail menu. I ordered the apple green tea infusion, which tasted good enough but was quite mild and reminded me mostly of iced mint tea (for 400 MAD). The dishes we tried were nicely presented, but overall we found them lacking in flavor. Even the spiced Moroccan chicken was more subdued than expected. The bread, which is an additional charge, was served cold and seemed less fresh than we would have liked. Overall, the experience wasn’t bad, but it didn’t live up to the high expectations created by the many recommendations we received. For us, the restaurant felt somewhat overhyped compared with the quality of the food and drinks.

The food was delicious, the squid was cooked well, the beef was cooked perfectly, and the espresso over ice cream was delightful. It was exciting that they had iced mint tea, though it was a bit lacking in flavor. The rooftop seats were comfortable with a beautiful view. It was an easy walk to the restaurant and staff were kind and welcoming.

At Nomad, the rooftop setting is undeniably appealing, but the experience leans more style over substance. The zucchini fritters were crisp and enjoyable, the spicy chicken had good flavor, and the beef with prunes was solid—though none quite stood out. A decent spot, but not one that fully lives up to the hype.

The rooftop has really nice views over the Medina. The food was just ok lacked flavor but they have plenty of veggie options. Service was attentive. Make reservations for sunset slot

Nomad is definitely one of the most popular spots in Marrakech. The atmosphere is lively, the rooftop views are beautiful, and the design of the space is stylish and inviting. The staff were polite and professional despite the restaurant being very busy. That said, I found the food disappointing. Well the dishes looked appealing, but the taste did not live up to the reputation or the price. We found the food quite underwhelming, not particularly flavorful and simply wasn’t memorable. Despite ordering a full meal, we actually left feeling hungry.
