Welcome to Cafe Clock Online

Cafe Clock Terrasse
Café Clock has hands ticking rhythms to multiplying metronomes. Entrepreneurs, thinkers, performers, restorers, teachers, travellers national international are walking onto our zellij carpet and playing out their tempos. It’s perching on revamped chairs picked up in junk souqs, it’s free wi-fi, it’s listening to Moroccan hip hop followed by belly dancing grooves, it’s swapping numbers with your neighbouring coffee drinker as you’re a lute player and he’s a djembe drummer and let’s jam sometime. The library, the terrace, the bar, the red room, the courtyard, the balcony – Café Clock oozes spaces to retreat, meet, mingle, dance, romanticise in. We are open every day of the week . Breakfast is served daily from 9am, last orders for dinner by 10:00pm (groups above 6 please reserve in advance).

Find us just 200m down from Bab Boujloud gate. Immediately after the display of dissections in the butchers’ guzzar on Talaa Kabira where on the right the 14th century Bouanania Medersa stands proud, up on the left are the restored remains of the clypsydra, Morocco’s only water clock. Below is slimline Derb el Magana, where, deep inside Café Clock nestles herself from the chaos.

Super Souad

Souad in the kitchen of Cafe Clock

Souad, the light, the laughter and the heart of Café Clock’s kitchen, is one of the best people you’ll have the pleasure of meeting in Morocco. Walk into The Clock and you’ll see her happily at work in the busy kitchen. Arrange to take a cooking class and you are in for a one-of-a-kind, cultural treat.

In Arabic, Souad means ‘happy’ and this particular Souad is the embodiment of her name.

You can enjoy a memorable, enjoyable and informative day with Souad should you attend Clock Kitchen’s cooking school. She will take you food shopping in the medina, explain the use of various spices, the cuts of meat to request from the butcher, the way to select the best couscous, guide you to the vendor with the freshest vegetables and answer any and all questions you might have about the culture, the historical monuments, the language, the life of Moroccan women, or just about anything else that comes to mind.

She’ll get you busy in the kitchen preparing your traditional Moroccan meal, escort you to the nearby local bakery to bake the pastry for your pastille, bread or cookies, provide you with all the local lore you ask for and all the while teaching you the local recipes and cooking techniques learned from her mother in-law and sisters-in-law as a young bride from Nador.

What customers really enjoy about their cooking experience with Souad is the insight she provides into Moroccan culture. Souad is so incredibly natural and fun-loving you’ll soon find yourself wishing you could take her home with you. And not only that, you’ll eat one of the best meals you’ve ever had.

Here are just a few things her customers have said about their time spent with Souad:

“You would be insane to lose Souad – What a wonderful combination of cooking and people skills!”

“… Souad was helpful, informative and great fun!”

“… Souad’s warm and welcoming personality made the course for me. Loved her .”

The Cafe Clock Crew

Any good cook knows that a truly delicious dish depends on the use of the best ingredients and no one knows this better than Café Clock. The Clock applies this same philosophy when hiring its staff and owner Mike Richardson has a knack for finding the cream of the crop. If you haven’t met Souad in the profile above, come on in and meet her in person. She’s just one example of the special people who work, relax and play in Café Clock, making it such an enjoyable and memorable place to be.

The Next Stage – Zanouba & Adil

1001 Arabian Nights Auditions

Cafe Clock is happy to report Zanouba and Adil made the cut during the recent auditions for 1001 Arabian Nights in Rabat. Next stop: Casablanca where they are joining 40 other hopeful actors from around Morocco.

Zanouba and Adil rose to the occasion under the direction of Tim Supple as they warmed up in a series of exercises designed to put the actors at ease and get them in character. I myself participated in the warm-ups and had a great time pretending to be an actor.

Should all go well for  Zanouba and Adil, they will be asked to Egypt where final auditions will be held. After that, rehearsals begin in earnest.

Cafe Clock can’t imagine anything more gratifying than seeing two of Fes’ own get a shot at the ‘big time’. We wish nothing but the best for these two budding stars.

Better get your autographs next time you see Zanouba or Adil as there is every indication these two are on their way to the fame and fortune.

Spotlight on Zanouba

Hot off the press……Zanouba and Adil are travelling to Rabat to audition for 1001 Arabian Nights.

Zanouba, who is no stranger to the limelight, has already produced an album showcasing her awesome talents.  Check her out on the video clip below.
