The best bars and cafés Atlantic Coast

The Lokal has invested in a building in the heart of the beautiful medina of El Jadida to create a pleasant and contemporary place: a cultural café. Here, we come to discover some works of art exhibited, we climb on the terraces to enjoy a freshly squeezed fruit juice or a mint tea facing the sea. The Lokal also offers breakfasts and hearty menus for meals, all at affordable rates. The place is convivial and people come here to change their ideas with concerts or literary meetings. We love this little place.

The ideal place to dance on the beach and have a drink with your feet in the water or around the fire. DJ all summer and live concerts during the week. The place is also nice during the day to enjoy tapas, pizzas or salads. There are also daily specials presented on beautiful plates that whet the appetite. Nice drinks menu to accompany the dishes or simply to relax. Very nice setting with a panoramic view of the ocean, facing one of the best surf spots in Essaouira.

A historical bar since it exists since...1914! A meeting point for intellectuals and bohemians, students and locals who want to drink alcohol in a relaxed atmosphere, a popular neighbourhood canteen on Fridays, when couscous is served free of charge, all these reasons make this café a place dear to Casaouis. Decorating side, it is dark and the benches are a little faded. La Cigale's success is therefore based on its audience, who are faithful to the event, and on the concerts regularly organised at weekends.

This is a multifaceted establishment! Restaurant, bar, live band and DJ every night: the address is appreciated by the well-to-do youth and nomadic artists. It is located in a beautiful 18th century building and overlooks the port to offer a nice view of the sea on its large terrace on two levels. Taros also houses a handicraft store and a library. A large bar faces the stage where oriental dance shows are performed from time to time. Nice atmosphere to end the evening.

There's nothing like going to Serge on Sunday afternoon with his beach bag. The friendly club overlooks its blue and white blue colours, its lounge rooms with windows overlooking the large and outdoor terraces overlooking the sand of a few steps with, for appointment, its small circular outdoor bar. A quick turn in the cabin to change, hire a transat or install a towel on the beach end of the beach, and then you can order a glass of fresh wine or a beer at the bar. This is the great weekend meeting for families and couples who come here to relax in the right mood. We contemplate the écumeux rollers of the sea and the passage of kites, we wet their feet listening to James Brown or David Bowie and you bathe if you are a good swimmer only, because the sea is here very agitated! Around 18 p. m. the atmosphere of the places changes: The music climbs in a decibels and hovers between house and techno. The atmosphere of healthy relaxation gives to a more style I have seen.

A beach club with two restaurants, La Terraza (Italian cuisine) and La Paillotte (Mediterranean cuisine), offering Casablancans a clubbing atmosphere all week long. Come and enjoy breakfast, international cuisine, dancing with your feet in the water or simply a cup of coffee. The elevated terrace overlooks the sea. Below, seawater pools are lined with white benches and straw huts. Elegant and very relaxing. However, unsatisfactory value for money.

A lounge restaurant that offers a musical atmosphere every evening from. Chic cocktail bar but not snob!

This friendly coffee only has a name since its occupants do not speak French. The boss is still a lover of Brittany. There is a possibility to enjoy breakfast.

This café is a venerable institution in Larache. Its central position at the exit of the medina, directly on the Place de la Libération, constitutes an ideal stopover and even a place to visit. In the large room, nothing seems to have changed since the 1930s. The beautiful wooden armchairs in the purest Art Deco style, the Bechstein piano, the black and white portraits of Omar Sharif or other former glories, the old guitars and oud of collection hung on the walls give to the place a unique atmosphere deliciously old-fashioned.

Tapas restaurant, but also lounge bar, the Chrysalis is located at the foot of the medina's ramparts. To enjoy its musical atmosphere, go there at nightfall. As for the program, Rachid promises you a lively evening with live music and DJs who come to mix rock classics, funk and hits that everyone knows and takes in the joy and good humor. You can also have dinner during the festivities and kill two birds with one stone... and after the coffee, it's time to dance!

The Dhow is the result of a crazy project! This lounge bar is located on a traditional Arab boat, "the Dow", over 47 meters long, almost identical to Captain Hook's boat. It's a must in Rabat. You can enjoy a drink on deck in attractive Indonesian lounges. As for the restaurant, the captain's table seats 14. Festivals, concerts, karaoke, screenings, DJs and performers enliven the Dow's evenings. An address like no other, waiting to be discovered!

In the heart of the Mer Sultan district, Vertigo is one of the trendiest places in the area for those who want to spend a pleasant evening in a 60's atmosphere. In the bar and its theatre in the basement, the establishment offers an interesting program. Improv games, concerts or even an electro evening... The bar is run by a group of dynamic and friendly young people. Tapas and snacks for the little ones. A casual and recommended address! Check out the programming on their Facebook page.

Leaning against the walls of the old medina, Rick's Café is an exact replica of the mythical café from the film Casablanca. The elegant and unostentatious atmosphere deliciously plunges fans back into the traditional oriental decor of the 1940s. In the evening, an American musician plays jazz tunes on the piano. The restaurant's à la carte menu features international cuisine and an interesting selection of fish and seafood dishes. You can also drop in for an aperitif and enjoy this enchanting and very intimate setting. Reservation required.

Since 1956, a pretty café under the arcades marking the entrance to the Habous, very touristy, but nevertheless very nice. From the terrace, you can enjoy the view of the elegant square with the Mohammedi mosque and the water fountains. You can have a hearty breakfast before venturing into the Habous alleys or eat pizzas, tajines or pastillas at mealtimes. You can also come here for an afternoon snack to sip a good mint tea, accompanied by delicious Moroccan pastries. Not to be missed!

As well as being a restaurant, Dar Baba is also a place to go for an evening drink. The bar is so popular and cheerful that you won't want to leave your high chair to enjoy the vintage atmosphere. At any moment, you can count on the music to liven up the evening, and often musicians are also on hand. As for the cocktails, from classic champagne cocktails to evocative names like the Smoke Old Fashioned or the original Argan Martini, the menu is never-ending... to be drunk in moderation, of course.

A pleasant bar nestled in a green setting, open onto its terrace and swimming pools. You can relax in a swimsuit, on a deckchair or with your feet in the water, sunglasses on your nose and a cocktail in your hand. Trendy during the day, then more lively in the evening, when the DJs get involved. The village also offers a multitude of activities for young and old: karting, paintball, tennis, tree climbing, archery, football... As for the restaurant, it offers a variety of dishes such as salads, pizzas and burgers. A young and trendy address with the false airs of Ibiza.
