Restaurants cuisine du Maghreb Mediterranean Coast & Rif

Chellah Club is a restaurant and bar. It is also a musical scene since each evening takes place a concert. In summer, an outdoor scene hosts various groups. People listen by drinking their glass of wine, some sometimes do some dance. Around the swimming pool and on the beach the place is beautiful, and has the advantage of closing late. Chellah says that every Tangerois has put his feet at least once. Good guaranteed atmosphere.

If you pass by Chaouen, we recommend you to test this small restaurant a little away from the tourist agitation. In addition to presenting an excellent quality-price ratio, we eat very well. The dishes are copious. On the menu, tajines and couscous of course, but also many other local specialities. Installed in a small typical house, the place has only a few tables. In summer, a terrace occupies the courtyard and adds a few places. It is sheltered from the sun's rays by a pergola. Lovely welcome.

Since 1989, the restaurant has been welcoming lovers of good food. The menu is well-stocked, ranging from pizzas and chawarma to grilled sole and beef medallions with apples. The establishment is also renowned for its Lebanese and Moroccan specialties, such as its fine grills and delicious meat tagine with prunes. The restaurant opens onto large picture windows, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The owner is very friendly and loves to chat with his customers. Good value for money.

This address which does not pay mine, just at the entrance of the medina on the small square, is one of the best tables of Chefchaouen! The prices are very low and the tajines are delicious! This small shop offers you absolutely tasty typical Moroccan dishes: the tajine with sardines, which we recommend, the chicken beldi and home-made fries or the hearty couscous. We want to eat there every day! Moreover, the reception of the manager is very nice and warm. In this price range, this local canteen is perfect.

Hidden behind the Kasbah, overlooking the Outa al Hamam square, this restaurant offers one of the most beautiful views of Chefchaouen. Spacious, it has a large indoor room for the cold winter days. But it is its terraces, the large and the small, that we prefer. Open on the blue city, they are sheltered under canisses. A traditional cuisine is imposed in the plate, with the inescapable duo couscous and tagine. The small appetites will be delighted with skewers, served with a plate of French fries.

It's not easy to get to casa Sloukia, but tranquility comes at a price. First follow the Cap Spartel road before turning right at the "Sloukia" sign, then take the gravel road either with a good vehicle or in "hiking" mode. On arrival, the 360° view over the Strait is extraordinary. Enjoy traditional dishes such as this delicious farmhouse chicken tagine. This is more of a table d'hôte than a restaurant. Remember to reserve the day before by telephone and place your order. Perfect welcome. Very reasonable prices.

Part bar, part restaurant, Chico's may seem old-fashioned at first glance, but it turns out to be an authentic place to have a good time. You can hear songs by Julio Iglesias or the Rolling Stones, while gazing at a faded photo of former King Hassan II. The counter is the perfect place to strike up a conversation with the regulars. From the kitchen come tapas and fried fish. You can also go to the nearby market to buy clams. They'll be served to you just like at home, with a glass of wine or a beer - a rarity in the region.

Famous for its maxi buffets on the superb roof top, Dar Nour has opened a restaurant on the first floor that offers delicious à la carte cuisine. In the intimate dining room, with its walls adorned with posters of films shot in Tangier and its beautiful Murano glass lighting fixtures, the fifteen guests enjoy salmon with 1000-hole pancakes, skate puff pastry, an effective tagine and a delicious hibiscus ice cream. At the helm is Abdellah, a young chef who twists Moroccan cuisine with great subtlety. Adorable service.

Omar took the name of a famous bar in Tenerife, popular with the golden youth, to baptize his beach bar, but here, no cocktails or theme nights. The place is rather for a family clientele who comes to eat a little something with their feet in the sand. The tables are installed on a terrace facing the sea, sheltered under big red umbrellas sponsored by a soda brand. Excellent tajines and good koftas in sauce but also an international cuisine rather well done: hamburger, Caesar salad, squid fritters.

Mediterranean cuisine is on the menu at this restaurant, one of the three opened within the Fairmont Tazi palace perched in the heart of the Old Mountain district. It gives pride of place to local products and in particular to shellfish and fish caught in the strait located a few blocks away. Even the most modest ones like mackerel are offered in a creative and gourmet adaptation. A chic but relaxed setting. On weekends, the atmosphere can be turned up a notch thanks to the musicians and singers who perform live on a rock tempo.

If you want to eat well without falling into the trap of touristy addresses, here is a nice little place, which is well located, where you can have meals around round tables in one of the beautiful caves. The establishment is quite popular, frequented by both locals and tourists. It serves traditional Moroccan food at low prices, such as prawn or lamb tagines. Fridays are of course reserved for couscous! Delicious homemade fruit juice. The dishes are tasty and the service very friendly.

Also known as Casa Aladin or La Lampe magique, this colourful restaurant is a pleasant address, especially for its terrace which makes us take height on the main square. You will also find a pretty room covered with cushions and tapestries. Yacine is eminently friendly and will be delighted to settle down with you to talk to you about the city. The food is rather good and cheap: pastillas, tajines, couscous, bricks and also excellent salads. You can also decide to come simply for a tea with a view.

You will surely pass by this restaurant on your way to Café Hafa. If it's time to eat, don't hesitate to stop there. You will be able to sit down in a room with the neat decoration or in terrace, in the pretty patio. Posada del Hafa offers tagines, couscous, chawarmas and salads. You can also order a grilled fish and some meats. The dishes are tasty, everything is prepared before your eyes! Just the smell of the grilled meat outside gives you an appetite! Small price and friendly welcome.

There are several small addresses on the corniche and Casa César is one of our favorites. This small Spanish restaurant is held by Juan Carlos. Good choice of fresh products: Paella, salads, but mostly fish (daurade, gambas, fried calamars or grilled…) and live music every night! Very nice, and just opposite the beach.

The terrace of Dar El Kasbah is one of our favorite addresses in Tangier. And we're not the only ones. Everyone agrees that the couscous they serve on Fridays is the best in the city. We won't say otherwise. From lunch to dinner, the restaurant treats our taste buds. The terrace is pleasant, with sunny and shaded areas. We also loved the tagines, the fish and the salads. And to accompany it all, a warm welcome from the whole team.

This restaurant opened in 2023 in part of the ramparts of the wall that has protected the Kasbah since the ^15th century. Here, past and present intermingle in the architecture of the place as well as on the plates. In the kitchen, chef Pablo Castillo brilliantly twists Mediterranean, Moroccan and Asian flavors. Comfortably seated in one of the dining rooms, let yourself be tempted by the classic menu, sushi or tapas. The three rooftop terraces offer spectacular views of the city. In summer, a DJ is on hand to liven up the evenings.

Exit the expensive and trendy restaurants of Tamuda Bay, welcome to the popular glitter of Oued Laou. The Miramar distinguishes itself from its comparses installed on the Corniche by its terrace with colored plastic chairs. The choice is limited, the cuisine simply prepared but the products are fresh and it is delicious. You can enjoy grilled anchovies or sardines, fried food, paella or tajine... fish of course, all for a handful of dirhams.

In a warm, vaulted setting with traditional decor, this is a typically Moroccan restaurant serving delicious cuisine. The menu features all the country's specialties: couscous, tajine, seffa, tanjia merrakechiya, as well as various grills, excellent salads and pastillas. Everything is homemade, including the fruit juices to accompany your meal. Relax on the large Moroccan sofas, and the team will take care of the rest. The welcome is charming and the waiters attentive. The bill is very reasonable.
