Kafé Merstan restaurant et terrasse — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

Found this restaurant while we were walking, and it was nice experience, the roof seating was nice and waiter who served us was his first day, but he was so nice and helpful and for the food we ordered pastilla which was the best pastilla I have eaten in morocco, chicken skewers with curry sauce which was very yummy, it came with tasty mashed potatoes and amazing eggplant tart, and also we tried the orange beef tajin but it was my least favorite dish, I prefer beef tajin with prunes and almonds but unfortunately they don’t serve it so I ordered the beef tajin with orange instead and It disappointed me a bit compared to the tajin with prunes. But overall they are very creative and the food is great and the roof is...

How is this 4.7 stars? We ordered 5 different dishes and all the food was bland. The meats were all way overcooked to the point of being dry (which could be excused at a busy restaurant, but it was not busy). We don’t like to over-salt our food, but each dish required added table salt. The seasoning on the food was lacking. Out of the many amazing meals in Marrakech, this was by far the worst. The service was okay, however they forgot to bring our hummus (most bland I’ve ever had) until asked a second time. I will give credit for the kindness of the server and the atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed the different rugs in the walls and the lantern covers felt...

Reviews are correct. Food was great, service was quick and very friendly, outstanding atmosphere on the roof terrace with Moroccan decoration and music. Considering the temperature was 44 celsius when we ate at about 4pm, the terrace is almost completely shaded with water misters that were on almost continuously so it wasn't too uncomfortable. We spent 300 dirham (roughly €30) for 2 people including dessert and one of us had the most expensive entree on the menu. Perfectly prepared beef tenderloin and the best briwat I've had so far in Marrakech....
