Top Rooftop Bars And Restaurants In Marrakech

Luxury art hotel IZZA has announced the launch of its standalone restaurant, Noujoum. A celebration of art, culture and the finest gastronomy, Noujoum takes its name from the home of the late American socialite-designer Bill Willis, who has heavily inspired the design and aesthetic of IZZA. The restaurant, previously known as IZZA’s rooftop restaurant, sits atop the merged interlinking riads that make up the boutique art hotel, and the stunning rooftop houses gardened terraces with views across the bustling Medina – an ideal location from which to enjoy sunsets and suppers under the stars. The kitchen is run by Head Chef Ahmad El Hardoum who, over the last 15 years, has worked in a number of well-known hotels and restaurants in Marrakech, including Le Palais Paysan and, most recently, as Chef de Cuisine at El Fenn. Alongside Ahmad is talented Pastry Chef, Abderazzak El Boukhari, who has 10 years’ experience in defining jaw-dropping delicious delicacies and desserts, including IZZA’s special version of tiramisu.
