The best restaurants Morocco

A large choice of dishes for this restaurant which offers a splendid view on the valley. On the menu salads, sandwiches, Moroccan soup (harira) and cold starters. For the hungriest, wood-fired grills or tajine with kanoon (a kind of earthen barbecue which gives a succulent taste to the tajine which has simmered for hours), all with the magnificent Berber bread Tafernout, home-made if you please! A good address to enjoy in a family atmosphere with this very Moroccan idea of sharing, and without ruining yourself! Bessaha !

For the past ten years or so, Kui-Zin has offered a menu of diverse influences. While Moroccan cuisine predominates, with tajines, couscous, pastilla and tanjia, Italy is not far behind. As it happens, Kenza Assri, first chef and right-hand woman to manager Hassan Amjahdi, lived there for fourteen years. Enough to trigger the amore della pasta! The evening is rounded off by a live band playing traditional music, to be enjoyed on the terrace by starlight.

The Backchich now has a little brother, the Blackchich Café. Same owners, a little more restaurant than café, the establishment differs by more than a letter. In fact, the menu features Senegalese cuisine, as well as a few Lebanese specialties and forgotten Berber dishes such as angel hair with cinnamon. However, the original, arty decor, relaxed atmosphere, warm, young welcome and affordable prices are all very much in keeping with the original concept. Ideal for dinner for two on the terrace.

In a career spanning more than 20 years, we can say that the Ocean has made a name for itself in El Jadida. The place, very friendly, manages to bring everyone together: families who come to have breakfast or enjoy a relaxing moment after the beach, couples looking for a little privacy away from curious eyes, the group of friends who came to share a pizza in front of a football match. The menu is varied and the quality/price ratio is more than reasonable, original Breton pancakes, Brussels waffles, pizzas of all kinds, etc

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.

Three hundred years old, this family riad bears the first name of its current owner. While its tree-lined patio has lent itself to numerous film shoots, it was also the living quarters of the Glaoui, illustrious pasha and ancestor of the master of the house. Moderate appetites will delight in a Makfoul lamb tagine with a hint of cinnamon. Gourmets will appreciate a full traditional menu. Settled in the Moroccan lounge, we're sure you'll enjoy the slightly old-fashioned atmosphere. And on certain evenings, it's even better when traditional music plays!

This riad, located in the heart of the medina, offers delicious complete meals. You will find mainly Moroccan and Spanish specialities such as couscous or shrimps with pili-pili. Also a wide range of fish and shellfish. We especially appreciate the restaurant in the evening, for its subdued atmosphere and its majestic decorations. You can also just drink an aperitif, one of the few tables in the medina that serves alcohol, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the city. A warm welcome. An address that we highly recommend!

Restaurant of fresh fish frequented by the locals. Excellent value for money.

On the square you will also find Puerto Marina Fish, a similar and equally interesting address.

The fairly simple menu of the cinémathèque bar changes regularly: sandwiches, soups, chocolate cake. On the terrace, you will enjoy a view of the hustle and bustle of the Grand Socco and inside the Branchés Branchés. Free Wi-Fi access.

Open since 1928, Le Dimitri has a solid reputation in Ouarzazate. The atmosphere is pleasant and European there, the crockery is great and the photos of stars on the walls give the impression of being in a society lounge. Because it is a whole institution in Ouarzazate: the places were first used as gas station, supermarket, dance hall, post office, before being converted into a restaurant. Among the pictures hanging on the walls, many of them tell this story, and with it, that of Ouarzazate. The restaurant is named after its founder, of Greek origin, one of the "fathers" of the city. The menu offers a good Dimitri salad and many delicious comfits or duck breasts. For a quiet evening around a good meal.

After entrusting their establishment to Jean-Michel and Dimitri for several years, they are once again at the helm. You'll find quality dishes at the right price, and a welcome that's as quirky as ever. On the menu, Italian specialties on the terrace or in two tastefully decorated rooms: beef carpaccio, Parma ham with melon, Sicilian-style Saint-Pierre, homemade pasta and wood-fired pizzas, not forgetting a sublime tiramisu and the festive spirit in the evenings. Reservations are recommended, as Mezzo Mezzo is often fully booked and doesn't do things by halves.

On a shady terrace on Avenue Hassan-II, Scampi takes on the air of a trattoria, offering a varied menu ranging from sole to grilled meat, all at reasonable prices. The couscous is also of excellent quality. Fish remains the flagship dish in this port city, providing an opportunity to enjoy, for example, a sea bream with extremely fresh, fine flesh. For decades, the family atmosphere has ensured the restaurant's excellent reputation in town, and a loyal local clientele.

Just after the fish market, this panoramic restaurant offers a beautiful view of the port of El Jadida, where you can see young people windsurfing and boats arriving. The interior is not very inviting, but the menu will delight fish lovers. There is a choice of sole à la grenobloise, squid à l'armoricaine, tajine or fried fish. Some meats are proposed like beef filet with green pepper and grilled cockerel. All accompanied by a good glass of local wine. For dessert, the chocolate mousse will undoubtedly please the greediest.

Without a doubt, you are catapulted into Italy as soon as you cross the threshold. The characteristic smells of wood-fired pizzas , pasta, antipasti and tutti quanti are obviously on the cheerful and generous menu of this restaurant, which has been set up for almost 15 years in a villa in the city centre. The setting is sober, but not unpleasant, with its tree-lined patio, refreshing on hot summer evenings. One feels the slightly outdated side of the establishment, but it remains a sure value for lovers of Italian cuisine!

Benoît and Stéphanie, your hosts and a couple of stuntmen in their spare time, welcome you warmly in this restaurant located near the palm grove. You will be able to taste a Moroccan cuisine with, among others, a dromedary tajine or a pigeon pastilla, without forgetting some European dishes like the duck breast with honey. The setting is refined and the atmosphere is often perfect. Spa also available for the amateurs of care.

Restaurant serving excellent local cuisine, set back from the main road on a shady terrace. Couscous and Berber tajines or vegetables to order. Clean, tasty and hearty, especially the tajine. A curiosity: goat's cheese produced by a women's cooperative in the Skoura palm grove. Vegan dishes are also available. A charming address that delights the taste buds and often keeps customers coming back for more. All this in an unreal setting that has inspired numerous films.

Close to the ocean, the welcome is warm and the setting well cared for. Very good seafood cuisine with a wide selection of shellfish, oysters, lobsters or scallops... Also good fish from the day's catch and well prepared. Don't miss the swordfish in a sesame and poppy seed crust or the white hake fillet, cooked in a wood-fired oven. The atmosphere is chic, mixing freshness and refinement, and will leave you with a pleasant memory of your visit to the port. Without a doubt, the best fish restaurant in Mohammedia.

On the large, quiet terrace, you can enjoy Moroccan salads, tajines, brochettes and couscous in the sun, facing the mountains while sipping a glass of hot tea. A restaurant frequented by locals and walkers, as it is strategically located in the city centre by the river. So much so that it is the meeting point for many hikes in the area. The restaurant is far from being able to give stars to the establishment, but the food is good and the staff very welcoming, just like the Berbers in the valley.

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.

On the menu, mussels, spiders, shrimps, fish. The setting is wonderful as we eat in the bay on a sunny terrace. A very good table. However, we do not particularly recommend the accommodation part, even if breakfast is royal.

Part of the club of so-called trendy restaurants, the Nomad café revisits Moroccan tradition with modernity, whether in the design of spaces and furniture, or in the menu. The table stands out for its accompaniments and its always surprising seasonings, gustatory associations which make us rediscover typically Moroccan dishes, but modernized with a particular emphasis on fresh products... From the terrace, you will appreciate the breathtaking view over the roofs of the medina.

A refined address for top-flight gastro cuisine. Mouth-watering delights include red tuna tataki, salmon or sea bass pavés and grilled lobster. Meat lovers will also be spoilt for choice with tournedos Rossini, rack of lamb with parsley and roast duck breast with honey and ginger. As for gourmets, they'll find everything they need in this slightly sophisticated setting, just what they need to spend a good time, with two or with gourmet friends.

Basic but quality cuisine. The welcome is engaging, and the shaded terrace guarantees a certain freshness all year long, otherwise you have the fans in the room! A good small address without pretention very frequented by the locals who often come to take a tea or lunch to leave the kitchen of the house. Typical Moroccan dishes are served (tajines, couscous). The cooking is family, made in the purest Moroccan tradition. One feels at home in an authentic atmosphere.

You'll have to stray 1 km from the center to reach the California district and this elegant villa transformed into a restaurant. Villa Ô Saveur is considered one of Tangier's finest restaurants. The restaurant opens onto a beautiful, elegant and sober dining room, but it's above all the verdant garden that is so pleasant for lunch or dinner. The cuisine draws on a French gastronomic repertoire with Mediterranean accents: Provençal-style prawns and squid, turbot with beurre blanc, confit lamb mice. Gourmet coffee.

Sober, elegant decor reminiscent of Neapolitan trattorias, a wood-fired oven, a pizza maker who has lived in Italy, partly homemade pasta... this Italian address in Guéliz has found the right recipe. Mamma Mia's serious yet friendly service attracts a local, Moroccan and expatriate clientele keen on the cuisine of the land of la dolce vita. The à la carte menu features a wide range of specialties, from beef carpaccio to risotto with truffle cream, not forgetting the traditional Milanese escalope and, of course, the ever-popular pizze.

Nestled in a pretty patio decorated with bougainvillea and pink furniture, this establishment has about twenty wrought iron and zellige tables, facing a green wall with a pretty fountain. In the evening, it is very pleasant to dine, by candlelight, in the lounge with comfortable sofas. This quiet and cool place offers good value for money, hearty dishes and a charming welcome. You will taste among others a delicious couscous with 7 vegetables. A good address that we recommend at any time of the day.

Un Déjeuner à Marrakech is one of those discreet establishments we love, and a rarity in the medina: it serves alcohol. The place never gets crowded, and for good reason: the cuisine is subtle, the owner available, the service attentive, the decor imaginative and the prices fair. The bistronomic menu fuses Moroccan flavors with cooking techniques borrowed from French cuisine. The menu's star dishes, such as the beef mrouzia, tantalize the taste buds of locals and tourists alike.

In the heart of the city, a small unpretentious address that plunges us directly into the typical Moroccan universe. On the menu, Moroccan specialities of very good quality, at very fair prices. We recommend you to order the pigeon pastilla and royal couscous at least two hours before. Also a delicious tagine of kefta and succulent skewers. The roof terrace is peaceful and offers a beautiful view of the Atlas Mountains, superb at sunset. A friendly welcome and quick service.

Set up directly at your chosen stand. When ordering, agree on the sometimes far-fetched prices (even if they are indicated on the menu), without forgetting to mention the quantities! The best thing to do is to take a few frugal starters and try different dishes, sharing the portions. Please note that you have to pay for everything here: bread, olives and tomato paste. Hygiene conditions are respected and the experience is guaranteed.

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Agadir. A lovely terrace for an open-air lunch, and an elegant restaurant in the evening, with elegantly laid tables and international cuisine of the highest standard. A la carte? Duck breast with orange sauce and beef carpaccio with truffle oil, among other delicacies, not forgetting their great specialty, lobster and crayfish. A real treat for the taste buds! The slightly extravagant owner will put you at ease from the moment you arrive, and will be happy to advise you on the wine.

This is the restaurant of the hotel Casa Hassan, a very recommendable address. The cuisine is up to the standard of the hotel with, in particular, succulent brochettes as well as tajines, couscous and fish... The establishment is large, on two floors, in the entrance, the patio is a cozy space, cushions and Berber carpets are combined with lime, so that the customer feels at home. The dining room is equipped with a beautiful fireplace, very appreciable during the winter evenings. Perfect for dinners for two in a cozy atmosphere.

Situated on Mohammedia's main thoroughfare, this restaurant welcomes you in a colonial pub-style atmosphere, the space is encircled by varnished bamboo, and the eye is drawn to the décor like so many travel postcards. Screens everywhere for match nights, and music evenings at weekends, make this a great place to go out in Mohammedia. On your plate, you'll discover the great classics of world cuisine: cheese quesadillas, briouates, spring rolls, seafood linguini, chicken phat tai...

Founded in 1967, the oldest restaurant in the capital. Although the entrance is strictly guarded by heavyweights, the atmosphere is very relaxed. The decor is that of a French pizzeria, with its gingham tablecloths. Everything is good: the food is hearty and of good quality, the service is fast and the welcome friendly. At La Mamma, you come for the grilled meat or for the delicious pizzas! A wide choice of desserts, from ice creams to Italian specialties, is on offer. We advise you to come in the evening for the atmosphere.

Located on the place of Sidi Kaouki, it is (almost) feet in the water facing this wild nature that you will appreciate the atmosphere of the end of the world of the Seagull and the Camels. The table offers many specialties of the sea. The fish are fresh and served according to your preference. You will also be able to taste a tasty market cuisine, elaborated according to the inspiration of the day, vegetarian dishes or the delicious Dakhla oysters.

Of the dozens of restaurants along the seafront, we'd prefer this one for its relaxing family atmosphere and honest cuisine. We also like it for afternoon tea when the wind blows in Agadir and the sunbathing session is cut short. The cuisine is varied (beef filet, grilled prawns, vegetarian dishes...). It should be noted that the quality of the dishes could be improved, particularly in terms of presentation, but the variety of the menus makes up for the mid-range impression given by the restaurant.

This snack café, with its terrace overlooking the square Jemaâ el Fna offers all traditional Moroccan cuisine such as the famous 50 DH pigeons, in addition to some sandwiches and omelettes at very soft prices.

The pizzas are hearty and baked over a wood fire... People also come here to have a drink and enjoy the afternoon on the pretty, quiet and shady terrace, or to enjoy temporary exhibitions. At the end of the week, for dinner, the bar-restaurant is taken by storm, festive and good-natured atmosphere.

Restaurant located in the Portuguese city, this establishment combines low prices and Moroccan cuisine. You can enjoy a variety of tajines, various meats, salads and omelettes, prepared with fresh products. And to round it all off, delicious Moroccan pastries can be enjoyed with a glass of mint. The restaurant is frequented by its Moroccan regulars and tourists, who come back year after year. You can sit in the Moroccan lounge on the first floor or on the roof terrace, very pleasant. A good address!

In the hotel Les Jardins de la Koutoubia in the Agdal district, this restaurant offers an exceptional setting for tasting French specialities, including the legendary entrecote steak topped with the establishment's famous homemade sauce, which consists of no less than 5 ingredients and 18 spices in a secret recipe. When the sunny days arrive, you can take full advantage of the pool area and the lush patio where dinner is served. Swimming pool doesn't necessarily mean flip-flops or Bermuda shorts: here, elegant outfits are de rigueur.

The restaurant l'Océan warmly welcomes you in an idyllic and peaceful setting, facing the sea. In the shade of the umbrellas, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can enjoy oysters from Dakhla, grilled lobster, tagliatelle with lobster or a nice piece of beef. For dessert, let yourself be tempted by the delicious lemon pie. Nice selection of wines. The Mediterranean and gourmet menu makes you want to come back to the Ocean. On the slate, the daily suggestions are also very tempting. This address is well known in Tangier.

What probably contributed to the undeniable success of Sirocco is certainly the colorful personality of Annie, the happy owner of the place, who has the gift of putting you at ease right away. The restaurant serves excellent Moroccan cuisine with a French touch, at very reasonable prices, in a friendly atmosphere. Moreover, artists come regularly to animate the room on the weekend. An address recommended for families or groups of friends wishing to spend an evening in all relaxation.

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.

This address is well known to gourmets visiting Fez, and for good reason: Table Nur has been given a makeover. Previously known as Restaurant n°7, it is renowned for its gourmet cuisine and innovative concept. The new owners, Charles and Najat, welcome you to their well-appointed art deco setting and offer a series of dishes that revisit Moroccan cuisine. Ten dishes that change daily according to the chef's mood. A surprising culinary experience well worth the detour.

Casa de España is a unique address. This associative restaurant is also a tapas bar but not only: Jose, the manager, commits himself daily to open this space composed of several rooms to locals and visitors. On the program: workshops, exhibitions, concerts and debates around the Arab-Hispanic culture among others... The restaurant offers excellent tapas to accompany a beer or a glass of wine (note that few places in Tetouan serve alcohol apart from some bars).
