The best restaurants Morocco

On the roadside, this traditional restaurant is a great place to stop for a cool lunch, or on the sunny terrace with a breathtaking view of the Sahara dunes. The best Berber desert pizzas, the house specialty, can be ordered in advance. Here, it's the women who do the cooking. Salads, tajines, kebabs, couscous, pizzas and other local dishes are all fresh, well prepared and tasty. Sometimes, Ibrahim, the owner, prepares the dishes himself, especially for mechouis events. Fast, attentive service.

Located in a beautiful Arabo-Andalusian house with a nice patio, an excellent French-Moroccan-Algerian table. On the menu, a varied choice that whets the appetite: chicken trides with candied onions, calf's foot with chickpeas, pigeon pastilla, lamb mechoui or tanjia marackchie, a stewed beef... The traditional Fassi recipes are concocted every day with love and passion, evolving with the seasons. Freshness, "Darori" (obviously in Arabic)! Courteous welcome and competent staff.

This restaurant offers typical and refined Moroccan cuisine. The decor is also and the furniture is the same as the one that orne the country's houses, where the green and gold colours combine and complement each other admirably. Delicious Moroccan cuisine.

In this trendy resort, the Japanese restaurant Mi sushi will enchant the taste buds of a trendy and moneyed clientele. Here, the inevitable sushi, sashimi, teriyaki and bentos are prepared with impeccable hygiene, as well as delicious rice balls and skewers. You can also enjoy some Asian-inspired starters (Tom Yam soup, spring rolls, chicken curry...) or "poké bowls", these small complete salads. Everything is fresh and the service is impeccable.

A good address for the copieux and breakfast lovers. . painted with ceiling, large chairs and nice decoration. Good value for money.

Ideally located on the corniche, an Italian restaurant with a very simple but good card and a very nice owner. The staff were friendly and helpful.

An institution in the Hivernage district, the Table du Marché has its followers and detractors. The setting is sober, efficient, without much fantasy, but the welcome is correct. The menu essentially offers internationally inspired cuisine based on fish (tuna tartar, popcorn gambas among others) and meat (shoulder of lamb in the oven, spaghetti with foie gras...), revisiting some French and Moroccan specialities. And for those with a craving, the Boutique de la Table, just next door, allows you to swallow a salad or a pastry on the go.

This pocket table is always full and in the evening, the line stretches out on the sidewalk to grab shawarmas and pizzas to go. The few tables occupy the mezzanine overlooking the pizza ovens, rotisserie and piles of cardboard boxes. The locals come here with their families and don't hesitate to mix and match on the same pizza. They are so big, that sharing them with several people becomes a necessity, unless you are a sumo wrestler or a rugby player. Sheep meat shawarma comes on top of a thick pita.

Lux is one of the most popular restaurants for middle-class Tangiers. It is located at the corner of the pedestrian passage of Msala, one of the most animated districts of the city. Its success is such that from 8pm, it is difficult to find a seat. And this, until late in the evening. The atmosphere is very friendly and the waiters are sometimes overwhelmed by the situation. Pizzeria Lux is worth the detour, perhaps more for its overexcited atmosphere than for the quality of its pizzas. Even if they are not bad, far from it.

OtriK welcomes you in a setting inspired by post-industrial New York lofts. The bricks are exposed, the bright red decorates the skai benches and the walls of the mezzanine. An old Solex, a Vespa or an old generation Fiat 500 reinforce the urban signature of the place. In addition to its trendy look, the restaurant offers refined quality cuisine. You can enjoy fish dishes, grilled meats or pasta. Karim and his team give a warm welcome to customers, whether they are regulars or not.

The Moroccan table at Kenzi Solazur emphasizes the gastronomic aspect of traditional cuisine. The room combines tradition and modernity with carved wooden ceilings, painted wooden doors, contemporary fabric banquettes and comfortable leather seats. The cozy setting, lit by candlelight and LED lamps, attracts a rather bourgeois tourist and local clientele. The menu offers the best of Moroccan cuisine: tasty couscous, fragrant tagines and honey-filled pastries.

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.

A cheap address to eat a pizza not far from the beach. The Van Gogh is one of the establishments seeking to breathe new life in Tangiers. Far from the charm of the addresses of the medina, but very much appreciated by young tangéroise.

This address located on the Corniche welcomes you in a vast room that is chic with its tablecloths and elegant wooden chairs. You come here to enjoy a cuisine that mixes Italian, Japanese, Moroccan and Western flavours. On the menu, grilled meat or fish, a wide choice of pasta and pizzas at low prices, and sushi. The atmosphere is family oriented and everyone will find a dish to satisfy their hunger. On the other hand, it is better not to be in too much of a hurry, as the service is a bit slow.

A small boui-boui where you can eat well and dildo. On the menu: fried squid, fritures, octopus, fried squid… Test preferably outside when it is nice.

It is the La Muralla hotel. An excellent address for those who want to have fun and spend excluding.

This classic and tourist international restaurant is very pleasant. Bistro atmosphere. The address is especially famous as a tapas bar.

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.

Adjacent to Mohammédia Park, the restaurant offers a pleasant and relaxing setting. A selection of dishes based on fish and seafood, French cooked. Classic interior decoration, discreet and professional service. Thinking about booking, the restaurant is very popular on weekends.

Marina Smir has two marinas, one to the north of the beach, the other to the south. The southern one is much more popular, and is enclosed within the huge Kabila apartment complex. This is where you'll find Mora & Mess, a cafeteria-pizzeria with a large terrace overlooking the marina. The à la carte menu allows you to enjoy inexpensive meals at any time of day. Good breakfast. During the day, you can choose from pasta, burgers, paninis, salads and a variety of pizzas (large and small), prepared with fresh ingredients.

This small neighborhood canteen got a makeover in 2021. The room is still long and narrow, but it is now better lit. The walls are dressed in pink and white and the refrigerated display cabinets in blue, which form a cheerfully colorful whole. A clientele of workers, women with children, young people come to eat on the run. One swallows here simple but good dishes: a well spiced chorba, a steaming tajine, grilled lasagne, a plate of French fries or a salad of crudenesses.

A large establishment on two floors. 300 covers on a dozen Moroccan lounges and a traditional patio. All Moroccan and Berber specialities.

If you want to enjoy and discover the good local products, here you are at the right place. Specialised in the production of foie gras, the estate extends over more than 5 hectares of almond fields. There are several products derived from outdoor duck farming. Don't miss duck paella, gizzards with ponzu jelly or three-peppered mortadella, among other refined dishes. A great opportunity to enjoy the site and the flavours of this artisanal production. Enthusiastic welcome.

Studio KO, who designed the fabulous YSL museum, is responsible for the natural-toned decor of this new little restaurant in the new town. Its other special feature? It's run exclusively by women (the name means "soul mates" in Darija), and it's they who are at work both in the dining room and in the kitchen, which sits in the middle of the restaurant, surrounded by a counter where you can sit and watch. On the plate, Moroccan recipes range from classic pastillas and tajines to trid, a typical dish little known to tourists.

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.

One of the best restaurants in the area for freshly fried fish and seafood. Settle down on the small roadside terrace or inside, in a friendly family atmosphere, before choosing one of the house specialties. For starters, let yourself be tempted by local oysters, plain or au gratin. Then there's a choice of fried dishes, mussel tajine or seafood gratin, among other delights on the menu. Gourmets will save room for the succulent homemade chocolate mousse. A real treat!

In a warm and chic setting, this establishment is well worth a visit for its hearty and delicious breakfasts. On the terrace, on the first floor or on the second floor, you'll enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant offers a rich and varied menu, combining Mediterranean and international cuisine. Pizzas, grilled salmon pavé, calamari à la provençale and minced beef with mushroom sauce are just some of the dishes on offer. It's also a popular spot for ice creams, waffles and crêpes. Friendly staff and attentive service.

Close to the station and tramway, the establishment boasts a large, tree-lined terrace with a small fountain, where it's a pleasure to dine. It is renowned for its delicious pastries and cakes, baked on site. For meals, the menu offers a wide and varied choice, from tagines and meat kebabs to pizzas, paninis, hamburgers and tacos. On Fridays, a hearty couscous is served for a modest sum, albeit a little bland. The service is diligent, but it's a pity that the waiters aren't very friendly.

Opening onto a verdant setting, the large bay windows flood the room with natural light, making it pleasant to warm up on cold days. There are no big surprises on the à la carte menu, just a variety of tajines, including rabbit with raisins, and the traditional Friday couscous. There are also a few international dishes on offer, such as fresh pasta, pizzas, grilled rib steak and roast chicken, as well as a limited choice of fish. Correct dishes and reasonable quantities. The service is neat, but totally indifferent.

Of all the restaurants on Martil's waterfront, El Faro is undoubtedly the most popular. The restaurant's long dining room and storefront have undergone a complete facelift. Now brighter and more modern, the restaurant also has tables set up on the sidewalk under an awning. The restaurant specializes in seafood, which is cooked to your liking. Sushi is served alongside noodles sautéed with Thai-style squid, while paella follows on from shrimp nems. There's also great pizza for pizza lovers.

This restaurant is nestled at the gateway to the Kasbah, in an old Arabo-Andalusian mansion built around a 3-storey patio full of flowers. The cuisine is refined, well-seasoned and masterfully cooked, with seasonal variations. In summer, take the elevator up to the rooftop terrace to enjoy a pizza and a glass of wine while contemplating the extraordinary view over the Kasbah, the Medina and the Bay of Tangier. It's magical! Efficient, professional service. Remember to book during high season, as the restaurant is often fully booked.

It's at the northern end of the beach, at the entrance to the new marina, that the whole Les Blancs team operates, a very elegant establishment dressed all in white. Chef Zubero Naya heads up the kitchen, where patatas bravas and paella valenciana are simmered. In fact, this specialty comes in a choice of several versions. As you'd expect, Spanish flavours take pride of place, but you'll also find more classic Mediterranean dishes such as pizza. Whether it's a bay window, a terrace or a counter, you can choose the most appropriate spot to enjoy your meal.

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.

Over the past few years, the proud owners of La Clé de Voûte have witnessed the upmarket character of their restaurant. And with good reason: Redouane and his wife Houria (chef by trade) have created a cuisine from the heart, based on Moroccan gastronomy with a touch of creativity. The Fez-flavored lamb and giant prawns are mouth-watering. Dynamic, fine wines complete the taste experience. And all at reasonable prices. The key to success!

Not far from the new marina, in its extension, is the old harbor which houses fishing boats and small craft. All around are several small restaurants and shops that concoct delicious grilled fish at very low prices. The atmosphere is very friendly and perfectly local. Many families stop here to share a meal of ultra-fresh fish without running up the bill. The cafes welcome fishermen back from their fishing trip to share their adventures over tea.

One of Azrou's best restaurants, located just outside the town center. The establishment has thought big with its different spaces, all equally pleasant and bright, including the terrace on the second floor. The menu offers a bit of everything, from sandwiches to Italian specialties, as well as more common dishes such as beef fillet or chicken brochettes. Beautifully presented plates. Wide choice of non-alcoholic drinks, from fruit juices to milkshakes. Also popular at breakfast for its peaceful setting. Good service.

Maymana is the chic and tasty option for a vacation without the headaches. Rabat's famous caterer, the one who has been at all the weddings and big parties of the capital's high society, is opening a short-lived boutique-restaurant in Marina Smir. You will find all the "signature" dishes of the venerable house that has been simmering, concocting and cooking for 35 years. The store allows you to compose your menus and/or order a selection of pastries. The restaurant has a few tables set up under large wicker canopies, in a bobo-chic setting.

With its large bay window overlooking the sea, its glass lights and its Art Deco style, this address is rather chic. Here, the cuisine highlights fish, seafood and shellfish as well as local products (meat, vegetables, olive oil) directly from the family farm of Karim, the owner. The recipes and dishes are perfectly mastered and emphasize the quality of fresh products. In an ecological approach, plastic bottles have been banned and replaced by recycled glass. Impeccable service. To be tested.

On one of the tourist places of Chefchaouen, here is a restaurant with a good quality-price ratio. You can sit on the terrace with its lively atmosphere, or in the room on the second floor, more peaceful and offering a nice view. On the menu, Moroccan and Mediterranean specialties, as well as good pizzas, made with a Sicilian recipe, kept secret. The establishment also serves very good breakfasts with a varied choice of pancakes and fresh fruit juice. The welcome is friendly but the service sometimes takes a long time.

Just a stone's throw from the famous Place Jemaâ El Fna, the chic Riad Monceau is also home to Bistro Arabe, where renowned chef Myriam Ettahri takes the codes of Moroccan gastronomy to a whole new level. Here, no more set menus, just oriental bistronomy, a cuisine based on a short menu, precise and efficient dishes that revisit North African cuisine, with international influences. To complete the cool ambience, from 8pm onwards, the Jazz trio will be playing their spellbinding sounds.

On the left-hand sidewalk as you climb up to the Kasbah, this charming little coffee-shop-style restaurant offers a menu based on fresh market produce. The menu, with its limited choice, changes daily. You'll find well-cooked fish soup, pastilla, grilled sardines and olive-chicken tagine. The decor harmoniously combines a multitude of objects and vintage furniture! Lovely rooftop terrace, ideal for afternoon mint tea. A family address.

"La maison marocaine" is a charming restaurant that serves local cuisine. On the menu, the inevitable couscous, pastilla, lamb or chicken tagine, briouates and delicious sweet and spicy pastries sprinkled with powdered sugar. Small lounges lined with benches form a large dining room. Exposed stone and lime plastered walls are the main decoration. At the back of the house, a long courtyard hosts a few tables for those who prefer to have their meal outside.

Au Pain Nu takes its name from Mohammed Choukri's autobiographical novel published in 1973, in which he recounts his exodus from the Rif to Tangier and which sweeps away all the taboos of Moroccan society. The place is nice to drink a tinto verano served with a farandole of tapas, but it is also a very good restaurant with a varied menu of Mediterranean inspiration. The only small drawback is that the room is often smoky at the end of the evening. Local clientele, rather intimate atmosphere and music. Pleasant and helpful staff.

If this snack bar presents itself as an unpretentious pizzeria, it also serves quality chawarmas, burgers, tacos and fries. The young people of Tangier like to meet there at any time of the day or evening. The large room upstairs with its wooden tables and chairs is often full. The setting, simple, is nevertheless neat with photos set in original wrought iron frames. Pleasant staff and efficient service. It is clean, you can eat on the spot or take away for a few dirhams. No alcohol but sodas.

Hamadi is a tourist restaurant, with musicians and belly dancers in the evening. It is well located and of rather good quality. On the first floor of a pretty house, the succession of typical lounges offers a comfortable setting with its hangings with local patterns and its beautiful old dishes hung. The tables are arranged around comfortable benches, Moroccan style. The menu is varied and offers a large choice of tagines and couscous to accompany a glass of wine or a beer. Remember to save room for the delicious oriental pastries.

If you're in the mood for real French cuisine, this is the place for you. As the name suggests, there's no set menu for months on end here, but everything on the slate according to fresh produce. One day you'll find snails, another you'll enjoy black pudding purée, truffle risotto or... surprise, because you never know in advance what the slate will consist of. Fabrice will be on hand to advise you according to your tastes, as will chef Sandrine. Back to basics in the bistro spirit? We think so.

An exceptional location for this fish and seafood restaurant that is almost feet in the water. Its large terrace overlooks the sea and the restaurant, with its contemporary decoration, offers a romantic setting for a dinner for two. If you go there mainly for the view, you can also eat very well: grilled soles and sea bream, fried fish and squid, meat fillets, but also salads, pasta, omelettes... Beautiful setting and warm welcome, in the dining room or on the terrace. A very good address.
