Nomad

In 2014, Kamal Laftimi and Sebastian de Gzell took over an old carpet store off the famed Rahba Lakdima spice square and transformed it alongside interior designer Romain Meniere into “Nomad”. With a strong emphasis on fresh local produce and ample variety for vegetarians, pescetarians, and carnivores alike, the lively restaurant serves simple “Modern Moroccan” cuisine: revisions of traditional local cuisine and Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes with a Moroccan twist. Spread over four floors, with intimate dining rooms and two levels of terraces that offer fantastic views of the surrounding Medina and Atlas mountain range (when visible between November and May. Nomad is perfect for both lunch and dinner or to repose from the hustle and bustle of the souks with a much-needed drink.
