Authentic, cheap, and wonderful views
The Souk Kafé in the Medina of Marrakech is a great place to eat if you get tired of the controlled chaos in Djemaa El Fnaa and want something more intimate but still authentic.
The cafe has several interior dining areas, but the real draw is the rooftop terrace decorated in cozy corners with pillows and thatched roofing for shade from the hot Moroccan sun. The views of the rooftops in the surrounding area and the nearby mosque are wonderful.
The food is good in general, but I'd especially suggest the appetizer of 6 Moroccan salads including rice pilaf, spiced eggplant, and several other warm and cold dips and spreads.
