Tucked above the historic medina at Riad Monceau, La Pergola pairs a lush rooftop garden, inventive Moroccan-inspired cocktails and nightly jazz performances for an atmospheric evening in Marrakech.

Just steps from Jemaa el-Fna, La Pergola at Riad Monceau offers a welcome retreat from the lively streets and bustling souks below. Often described as one of Marrakech’s pioneering rooftop venues, the bar and restaurant occupies an elevated terrace overlooking the medina, with the Koutoubia Mosque among the surrounding landmarks.

Its design evokes an urban garden, where abundant greenery, palm trees that create an atmosphere gradually transforming throughout the day. From a relaxed afternoon hideaway into a lively evening gathering place, with live jazz performances providing the soundtrack every night.

Among the signature creations is the Berber Mojito, a refreshing interpretation of the classic made with mahia, iced mint tea, fresh mint and lime. The Morocco Mule offers another distinctly local twist, combining mahia with ginger, cactus syrup, orange blossom, cucumber and lime. For something more fruit-forward, the Sangria Marrakchia blends Moroccan red wine with oranges, seasonal fruits and warming spices, while the Argan Sour introduces an unexpected ingredient to the traditional whiskey sour through the addition of extra-virgin argan oil.
