The best restaurants Morocco

Palm of originality for the fun burgers at O'Mammy, located in the heart of the Golf Montgomerie. Pêle-mêle, the Men in black for the visual, the 007, reserved for cheese addicts, or the veggie with its fried vegetables. Quality and quantity are on the plate, right down to the onion rings , French fries, probably the crispiest in Marrakech, and homemade juices. And always this huge terrace and its very relaxing view over a small oasis in the middle of the green. A must see address that we no longer present!

Morocco does not mean that we are only satisfied with tagines on the menu, the healthy cuisine is also popular. Here, everything is made fresh and the plate as well as the decoration show the freshness. You can choose from a variety of salted toast with avocado or runny egg, hearty poke bowls and exotic flavored cheesecakes. Not to mention the tasty healthy fruit juices. In short, simplicity in going to the essentials and something to enjoy without feeling guilty. Good to know: another branch has opened its doors at M. Avenue.

In an alleyway off the main roads of the medina, one sometimes stumbles upon this restaurant with its atypical decor and its tribal and modern influences. The Moroccan touch is fully reflected in the 100% local menu: Kemia salads made according to the rules of the art, tagines served in their original earthenware dish, airy couscous with multiple flavours. A pleasant terrace where the misting device, welcome in the middle of summer, awaits you on the first floor. For a total immersion, dare to taste the rfissa or the raïb of the village, home-made that goes without saying.

Brasserie spirit for this restaurant located just behind the Carré Eden. The dishes live up to our expectations, with classics such as the fillet of beef topped with a home-made purée that reminds us of childhood, or the duck breast, which is very rare in these regions. This does not prevent us from giving pride of place to local products such as Dakhla oysters. The freshness and the tastes are there, as well as an innate sense of welcome. As proof, a clientele of regulars who seem to feel at home here.

On the first floor of a corner house, Mandala will seduce you with its warm and welcoming setting. Only a few steps from the medina, this pizzeria is all the rage and attracts young people in search of novelty and different flavors. The pizzas prepared on fine pasta cooked on a wood fire are delicious. You can also taste different pasta dishes, generously garnished with grated Gruyere. The address is also famous for its desserts, classic but effective, which allow to finish on a pleasant sweet note.

More than a restaurant, it's a cultural space with a hybrid concept, which has taken up residence in a riad in the heart of the medina. Different cultures are at the heart of the discussions, as well as the dishes: here, we've deliberately left the door open to Jewish, Moroccan and Lebanese inspiration, thanks to chef Saïd Belghiti. Every weekend, the premises come alive with a film screening followed by a discussion with the public, providing an opportunity for dialogue, learning and great encounters under the banner of tolerance.

In the village of Asgaour, just 9 kilometers from the waterfalls, La Perle de l'Ourika is first and foremost a restaurant on a pleasant terrace overlooking the river and valley, offering a top-quality menu at more than decent prices. If you'd like to extend the feeling of tranquility, the inn offers seven small, basic rooms on the first floor, with shared showers and lounge, and a pretty garden with access to the wadi. Watch out for the occasional mischievous monkey disturbing the silence: you're definitely in the middle of nature!

Silvestro is one of the institutions in Essaouira for Italian cuisine. Here, it's in our blood, everything is homemade, pastasciutta, carpaccio, wood-fired pizza, gnocchi and tutti quanti... Some will find the setting a bit kitschy with the flowery wallpapers, but the flavours are there for a very sweet final addition. The welcome is charming and the warmth of the atmosphere wins over the locals. Definitely a good address with a cuisine that does not deceive! So are you ready for an express return trip to Italy?

Sitting in an elegant Moroccan lounge, you will revel in a high-flying kitchen. Here, chef Ahmed Handour offers an innovative menu that revisits the classics. A la carte: spicy confit of shank, almond and vegetable pastilla, Berber cuckoos with homemade wheat, among other delicacies. The products are fresh and the vegetables come from an organic vegetable garden. The atmosphere is more relaxed at weekends when theme evenings are offered for the pleasure of the taste buds.

Located in a quiet street of Guéliz, the Pointbar is a really relaxing address for an afterwork or to start an evening. What makes the place particularly singular is its clientele, essentially Marrakchie. The bar is open on a large terrace with trees where it is good to lounge in one of the many sofas. Daily, the evenings follow the rhythm of the resident DJ. Relaxed atmosphere, refined and contemporary decoration, delicious tapas, attentive service, affordable dishes... Pointbar ticks all the boxes.

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.

A copy of the Ostrea in Casablanca, this restaurant also belongs to Jacques, who also owns the adjoining oyster farm. Here, on the other hand, the establishment offers a panoramic view of the sea where you can see the place where the oysters growing on the plate are growing. In addition to shellfish and crustaceans, there are a few specialities on the menu: oyster tureens with chives, spider crab or even Fricassée de Lotte with crustacean bisque, in short there is a choice, it's good, it's fresh and we ask for more! Also a few bedrooms upstairs.

This is the story of a Belgian-Moroccan couple, Lotte and Rachid, who are not giving up: while Marrakech is in deep slumber, like the whole world in this memorable year 2020, they are opening a café-restaurant! What's more, it's resolutely focused on sustainable tourism. The result: a friendly young address that's getting a lot of attention for its warm welcome, pleasant setting and walls given over to painters who regularly exhibit their work... why not take it home as a souvenir?

One of the last-borns of the Mouassine street with soft prices, installed in the heart of the souks of Marrakech.

The culinary inspirations come from the five continents for the pleasure of the taste buds, but especially from the Mediterranean - the owners are Greek -, all served in a refined decor.

Open for some fifteen years, this small snack bar is popular with locals for its good value for money. The smell wafting from the rotisserie on the sidewalk already whets the appetite.

Tajines are also available to order, as is a fine couscous on Fridays. The portions are generous and tasty, and the staff are friendly.

Located on the Bouregreg quay, the establishment benefits from a beautiful view of the river and the city of Salé.

Several bars and restaurants line the seafront, including the Mazagan café with its zebra chairs and parasols.

Popular with Kenitra's residents at weekends, the restaurant has a good reputation, especially for its baked fish and its location, facing the sea. The choice will be difficult as the menu is exhaustive, ranging from pizzas to fried fish, as well as meat and sushi. However, we recommend the seafood, directly from the port of Mehdia. There is a wide choice of fresh fruit juices and non-alcoholic cocktails. The service and quality of the food is a bit lower at the weekend, so it's better to come during the week.

On the heights of the village, the restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best in the area. You can sit on the terrace and watch the daily life of the village or upstairs, in an interior room, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the lagoon. On the menu, a wide choice of fried fish, grilled fish and seafood, depending on the arrival. We recommend the grilled sardines, fresh and well cooked. There are some Moroccan dishes such as tajines and also pizzas, on the spot or to take away. Careful service.

Close to the port, numerous restaurants, crowded in summer, offer fresh fish at ridiculously low prices and hearty portions. We chose the Marhaba restaurant, whose specialty is char-grilled sardines. The refrigerated display case also features soles, mullets, shrimps and other freshly caught fish and shellfish. A real treat! You can sit down in one of the air-conditioned dining rooms or on the terrace to enjoy generous plates. In summer, the restaurant also serves delicious pizzas. Meticulous service.

It is within the sumptuous Palais-Riad Lamrani that we find this pretty table. Garden with trees, mosaic fountain, in the evening the lanterns light up for a subdued atmosphere... On the menu, a menu that changes every week according to the mood of the chef El Ghassany, with international and Moroccan cuisine in a wonderful setting full of history. Special mention for the sardine pastilla or the Marrakchie tanjia, all for a very good quality-price ratio.

Hidden in a small alley in the medina, this establishment welcomes you in an intimate and neat setting. While you're sipping a homemade kir, the chief will come in person to advise you. The dishes change regularly according to the seasons, but the common thread remains the fish. Among the tempting suggestions: oyster tagine from Oualidia, sea bream in a dried fruit crust or monkfish in the bourride style with its candied lemon aioli. It is one of the best tables in Essaouira, which partly explains the rating, which is quite high for the city.

In this typically Moroccan restaurant, you feel like you are staying with a local and the welcome is very pleasant. The decoration is authentic with carved wooden tables and mosaics. Well seated on benches, you will enjoy succulent Moroccan specialities, served generously. We recommend veal with prunes and almonds, kefta tagine and zaalouk, an eggplant caviar. A real treat! If you want to be served quickly, a little advice: call first to order your dish. Tea offered by the house.

The table at Riad Kalaa is one of our favorites! Here nothing is left to chance. In an Andalusian patio, the tables are elegantly set and the service is also very attentive. Moroccan appetizers are a delight, including zaalouk (eggplant caviar), small vegetables and pastilla . We appreciated the mastery of the cuisine, refined and generous. We recommend the duck tagine with its apple confit... The wine list is also up to scratch. A recommended address!

At the bend of an alley in the medina, here is a beautiful address where Moroccan cuisine is deliciously revisited.

You can taste, among others, roasted monkfish with saffron sauce, chicken filet with lemon yogurt and especially a delicious chocolate mousse with pistachio. The roof terrace, sheltered from the wind, offers a pleasant setting for lunch. The trip is as good as it gets.

Colourful rooftop terrace with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the medina's ramparts. It is the contemporary art address of the medina, located near the Othello gardens. You can eat the fish of the day, wood-fired grills, fresh salads and some Moroccan specialities. Every evening, except Monday, the establishment hosts live concerts. Facing the ocean, we like to sit on the roof terrace of this boutique hotel to listen to one of the gnaoua/rock bands at sunset, with a cocktail or a glass of champagne in hand.

A must in Rabat for those who wish to enjoy traditional, well-mastered cuisine in a typically Moroccan setting. Located on the first floor of a house with character, the restaurant invites you to take a seat in an oriental lounge or on a terrace under a Berber tent, revealing a pretty view of the walls. On the menu mainly? Various tagines and charcoal grills that we highly recommend. The waiters, in traditional dress, offer impeccable service. Do not miss the mint tea, served in the traditional way.

Nestled on the coastal road between Rabat and Témara, this gastronomic restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the Val d'Or beach through its large bay windows. The setting is bright, modern and offers a chic and relaxed atmosphere at the same time. The menu is very elaborate and focuses on seafood, such as grilled octopus, salmon steak or seafood paella. Also some meats like duck breast. Gourmets will not be able to resist the homemade desserts, including orange blossom French toast. Impeccable service.

It is the same house as the grocery store Chez Michèle in Tinghir and the campsite located in Goulmina. On the menu: duck gizzards confit, duck breast with honey sauce, prime rib with morels and floating islands...

We also serve very good Moroccan cuisine in a European lounge on the first floor or in a traditional lounge upstairs. Michèle and Ahmed, the owners, have also opened a pastry shop and tea room in town.

Le Trou au Mur is unique in that it serves Moroccan dishes that are difficult, if not impossible, to find elsewhere in town.

All served in an elegant dining room decorated with antique paintings, or on the pleasant upstairs terrace... An address with a difference, where you can sample some of the Kingdom's best-kept gastronomic secrets.

A must-see address for Syrian food lovers and fine gourmets! In a warm and elegant setting, you will enjoy Chicken Maklouba, yoghurt kebba, malfouf, chawarmas of all kinds... The dishes of the day reveal the tastes and flavours of Syrian gastronomy, all in simplicity and authenticity. Moreover, the restaurant has proved its worth to Moroccans and tourists since it is very busy during rush hours. Reservations are therefore recommended, especially in the evening. Affable staff.

Shelves loaded with books and objects gleaned from flea markets, wood and patinas create a warm atmosphere where you feel like in a family cocoon.

A little crush for this popular establishment near the ramparts, which offers a relaxing and green setting. Students, Moroccan families and tourists gather here for a drink or a variety of dishes, prepared with quality ingredients and cooked with coal. Special mention for the pizzas cooked over a wood fire, so delicious! In the medium term, the site would like to transform itself into a cultural space with exhibitions, shows and storytelling readings. A play area designed for children and a more intimate terrace overlooking the site.

An address right in the center of Ifrane, with a well-stocked menu - too well-stocked, in fact, to pretend to serve anything fresh and good. Moroccan, Asian and Western cuisine, a vast choice with over 50 dishes, tajines, sushi or steak-frites and small snacks... It's a shame the menu isn't smaller and the food better. You can sit out on the sunny terrace, in the café area with its large bay windows, or in the more confined dining room with its impersonal atmosphere. But the service is impeccable.

Right in the centre of Rabat and a stone's throw from the French Institute, this address is a canteen that looks like a bistro, and it's quite successful!

The Al Bahriya restaurant, right in the heart of the Guéliz bustle, offers a relatively diversified fish and seafood menu with good value for money. Despite its location on the edge of a busy street, the terrace, where local and foreign diners sit in rows, is packed most of the time. Service is fast and without fuss. For a truly local experience, as a discerning tourist carried away by the popular atmosphere, do as everyone else does - don't hesitate to eat with your fingers!

You were looking for the palace of the Thousand and One Nights, here you are! This festive place mixes Moroccan and Indian inspirations. Lounge and intimate atmosphere in a subdued lighting despite the volume of the rooms. The establishment offers a dining area, as well as a bar and a stage, where musicians and dancers follow one another. The Moroccan, French and Thai-inspired cuisine claims to be "world food". The services are meant to be top-of-the-range, but it is above all the place where Marrakesh and Casablanca and Westerners meet.

Catanzaro is one of the city's few old establishments that hasn't budged an inch, flooding long-time Marrakech visitors with nostalgia. Ideal for a traditional Italian lunch, you'll be seated in a rustic setting with red and white checkered tablecloths. In a setting like this, a vast choice of à la carte pizzas is the order of the day, but you can also dine on classic dishes with a strong Italian flavour: saltimbocca alla romana, calzone, cheese ravioli, antipasti and other sure-fire favourites.

When you arrive from the main road, at the mosque, you have to go straight on towards the river, and go down the stairs to arrive on the superb terrace of Abdeljalil, owner of the café-restaurant Tighremt. Here, we order freshly squeezed orange juice and a delicious Berber omelette prepared by his wife, Samira. A pleasant break with a panoramic view of the Ksar, and children reaching out to tourists to take them across the river in exchange for a few dirhams. A warm welcome.

In this beautiful villa in the middle of the Moroccan countryside, you are welcomed in the heart of a green garden, overlooking a swimming pool.

Also a delicious homemade wild boar terrine. All of this to be accompanied by wines from the house of Thalvin. You can also visit the cellars of the property. Excellent value for money.

Located on Laâyoune's main avenue, Boulevard de la Mecque, the restaurant La Perla is one of the few addresses in the city to serve fresh and spicy cuisine. The dishes are mainly based on fish, caught in Laâyoune-Plage, a few kilometers from here. Strong of the passage of the Spanish colonization, the menu is also rich of some Iberian dishes as a generous paella for about ten euros. Finally, the traditional and unavoidable Moroccan dishes are also present: tajines, couscous.

One of the most important places of Fassi gastronomy. A refined, family and traditional cuisine. Prepared by the mistress of the house: pastilla, lamb or veal tagine with seasonal vegetables and other specialities. Delicious pastries. Good value for money.

Right next to the Moulay Ismaïl mausoleum, this restaurant enjoys a panoramic view of Meknes from the top of its sunny terrace.

There's also a Moroccan or international menu offering good value for money. Smiling welcome and impeccable service.

Near the Bab Boujloud gate, you'll find a string of small local gargotes, of which Chez Rachid is undoubtedly the best, offering excellent value for money. Admittedly, the blue-topped tables are crowded together and the dining experience lacks intimacy, but here you can enjoy good local market cuisine without getting sick. Tajines, couscous, kebabs and Moroccan salads are just as hearty and tasty. There are also a few vegetarian dishes, such as couscous tabolie, which is served cold. Fast, efficient service.
