Akira Back The Rooftop Marrakech

Akira Back The Rooftop brings a global Japanese-Korean culinary language to the Marrakech skyline. Perched on top of the Pestana CR7 along M Avenue, the restaurant operates entirely open-air, with the city stretching out below and the evening sky doing most of the decorating. The kitchen follows the approach that has made the Akira Back name recognizable across more than two dozen cities worldwide: modern Japanese technique sharpened with Korean boldness, plates designed to be shared, flavors that lean into umami and heat in equal measure. The menu moves between raw preparations, tempura, and grilled dishes with a confidence that reflects a well-tested formula adapted to a new setting. What changes here is the context. The Marrakech air, warm and dry, shifts the dining register from metropolitan restaurant to something closer to a rooftop lounge, where cocktails hold their own alongside the food and DJ sets fill the gaps between courses. M Avenue's newer, more cosmopolitan energy frames the experience: this is not the Medina, not the Palmeraie, but the Marrakech that looks outward. A place for evenings that start with sushi and end somewhere between the last drink and the first stars fading.
