Plop down on a plastic chair in the

The Marrakesh sibling of the phenomenally successful Cafe Clock in Fez is housed appro-
priately in an old school with a light-filled courtyard and unimpeded sunset views over the
Kasbah. Star chef Tariq Hadine has also relocated to work his magic on the seasonal Mar-
rakshi menu of fresh sandwiches and salads and, of course, the signature camel burger.
But beyond Clock's yummy menu, it's the revamped classrooms and cross-cultural vibe
that'll keep you returning. Join Beyaz for belly dancing in a private room or watch Ab-
delali's pen dance across the page in the calligraphy class before signing up for a 101 ses-
sion on Marrakshi culture and cookery classes (Dh600). On Sundays there are sunset con-
certs (adult/student Dh20/10), and best of all, Djemaa storytellers have agreed to perform
here accompanied by English and French translators.
