The Fire Room

Before you ask
Practical questions
Yes, and we would rather do it properly than improvise on the night. Tell us at least three days ahead and Naima will rebuild the affected courses rather than removing them. Fully vegan and gluten-free versions of every package exist and cost the same.
The courtyard has a retractable cover installed in 2021 and heaters from November. The roof does not, so any roof booking has a guaranteed indoor alternative held for it at no extra cost, decided by four in the afternoon on the day.
Only on exclusive-use bookings and the Fire Room. Everything else works on a per-guest package with no floor. Weekend buyouts carry a higher minimum than weekdays; Omar will tell you the number in his first reply rather than making you ask twice.
Up to six bottles with no corkage, provided they are not already on our list and we know a week ahead. Beyond six bottles it is 150 dirham each. Salma will decant and serve them exactly as she would our own.
Small ones, yes — up to ninety-six seated, usually the day before or after the main celebration. We are a restaurant rather than a venue, so there is no dance floor and no sound system beyond the house speakers, and we stop serving at half past midnight like every other night.
Cars cannot reach the door. We arrange a meeting point at Bab Doukkala with lanterns and staff to walk your guests the four minutes in, which most people end up describing as the best part of the evening. Luggage and equipment come by cart, and we handle that.
