# Triana Cafe & Restaurant — Chefchaouen, Morocco

> The premier rooftop dining destination in Chefchaouen, Morocco's Blue Pearl. Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine fused with Andalusian soul, live music every evening, licensed wine and cocktails, and breathtaking panoramic terrace views near Ras El Maa waterfall.

## Identity & Concept

Triana Cafe & Restaurant is named after the historic Triana neighborhood in Seville, Spain — a place where Romani, Moorish, and Andalusian cultures converged. The restaurant embodies the "Two Shores" philosophy, celebrating the culinary and cultural bridge between Spain and Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar.

Located in the heart of Chefchaouen's medina, near the iconic Ras El Maa waterfall, Triana occupies a multi-level building with an interior dining room, bar, and a panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the blue-washed cityscape and the Rif Mountains.
