La Terrasse de la Brillante review: our verdict
Dining here means rising above the bustle of the medina: La Terrasse de la Brillante occupies the roof of a riad just steps from the Bahia Palace, featuring outdoor lounges, wooden tables facing neighboring terraces, and a swimming pool patio below. The kitchen, oriented toward the Mediterranean, specializes in plating: beef carpaccio, fish, seafood pastes, and desserts with red fruits.
This is the spot for a tête-à-tête, a birthday celebration, or a family dinner looking to move beyond traditional tajines: the service is attentive, the atmosphere intimate, and in winter, a fireplace takes over from the evening's softness. It is not a place for a quick meal between souks or a lively night out; you come for the calm and the dish, and children will find their share of enjoyment here too.
The best time to visit is for dinner, when the terrace lights up above the rooftops. The smart move is to book in advance for a special occasion, as the team knows how to make a memorable impression. The pitfall: coming on a Monday, as the house is closed.
