Several cafés and restaurants have upper terraces with fine ringside seating from which to observe the mayhem of Jemaa el-Fna. The best of the lot is the Café Glacier, which is above the Hotel CTM. Here, the compulsory purchase of one soft drink (Dhs9) gives access to a rooftop with a sweeping, 270-degree view. Come at dusk for purple skies clouded by drifts and curls of smoke as 100 food stalls fire up the griddles and the smell of grilling meat overlaps with the insistent clattering of hand drums. Designed in an art deco style, Café Glacier is the place to be seen and enjoy Africa-meets-Europe cuisine.
