Restaurants cuisine du monde Morocco

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?

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... These are just some of the specialties of this restaurant that will delight your taste buds. 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.

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.

One of the last-borns of the Mouassine street with soft prices, installed in the heart of the souks of Marrakech. People come here to enjoy a good coffee or one of the freshly prepared dishes: salads, briouats, couscous, burgers, pizzas, pasta or falafels. 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. The service is non-stop in the dining room or on the roof terrace. To be discovered if you are in the vicinity.

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! Vintage furniture, period posters and a chick yellow front, a brasserie style that stands out for its good French cuisine. On the menu, duck confit pâté, beef fillet, Saint-Pierre with buckwheat or salmon steak to finish with an apple crumble or a delicious meringue tart... A famous address in Rabat and worth a visit!

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.

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. Jalil, the owner of the premises, also organizes thematic meetings with the locals to discuss various recurring topics. A beautiful initiative, a great moment of conviviality... On a simple call, we come to pick you up and take you home free of charge.

Right next to the Moulay Ismaïl mausoleum, this restaurant enjoys a panoramic view of Meknes from the top of its sunny terrace. Access is via narrow staircases decorated with zelliges, passing through pretty Moroccan lounges where you can also sit down. The menu is rich in local specialties such as Moroccan salads, tajine beldi, pastilla and couscous. Italy also takes pride of place with pizzas, spaghetti and pasticci. 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.

Here's an address that perfectly reflects the soul of the region. You stop here almost by chance, on a day out among the rocky regs. The welcome is warm in every way, provided by an attentive and smiling Abdellah, who will go out of his way to bring you your freshly prepared meal in the shade. While the menus are basic, the Moroccan salad is traditionally made and carefully presented. Tented accommodation is also available to extend the evening into the night. One of our favorites of 2024.

A restaurant, a café and a gallery. The decor is quirky, with vintage objects from the 70s, mismatched furniture and a mishmash of tables and colors. Le Loft has found its place in the heart of the medina, offering Mediterranean cuisine prepared with market produce. You'll appreciate the intimate, friendly atmosphere. A must-taste is the divine saffron crème brûlée. The establishment is somewhat hidden in the medina: it's located in a small alley behind the clock. It's a victim of its own success, so be sure to make a reservation!

This is a place steeped in history, that of the family of Serge Blanc-Collomb, owner and grandson of Hélène Collomb, who founded the restaurant in 1949. And you can feel it: in the period decor, which hasn't really changed, and in the menu. Here, French and Moroccan cuisine come together in a beautiful marriage. Depending on the mood of the day, you can enjoy veal liver with parsley or tongue in gribiche sauce, as well as tagine beldi or kefta. A fine address in the pure tradition of the great French brasseries, where service is efficient and discreet.

It is in the bend of one of its picturesque lanes, nestled in the heart of the medina, that we discover Riad Malaïka and its delicious table d'hôte. The menu is composed of fresh products from the land and sea, a combination that makes you rediscover the flavors of a pigeon pastilla, a vegetable tagine or a seafood dish. The desserts are also generous and demanding, like the malahbia or the citrus soup. It is good, neat and delicate, served by an attentive staff. A gustatory invitation to honor with closed eyes.

The setting is original and pleasant, with small wrought iron boxes and shaped like a glass roof scattered on a terrace by the sea. The restaurant offers fresh fish and good Moroccan cuisine with salad, pastilla and couscous. A varied menu of course, but orders are not always honoured, which is a real pity... However, it remains the meeting place of the locals who appreciate it for its panoramic view and its good value for money. Peaceful terrace on the first floor. Also good pastries.

Don't miss this little restaurant, located just over the former Almou bridge and on the banks of the wadi. The cuisine is excellent and the terrace overlooks the entire wadi. The inn is set in a beautiful rose garden, and you can also sleep in one of the reasonably-priced double rooms with en suite facilities. Pastilla is the house specialty. A warm welcome from Hamed. The hotel's strategic location makes it easy to discover the many hidden treasures in the area.

The decor is typically Moroccan, with a kheima (Berber tent) and particularly comfortable poufs. One settles there with pleasure, to find the way of life of former caravaneers. Very frequented by groups, the name of the establishment refers to a star that the Tuareg and other nomads used to find their way in time. Moreover, many jewelers often propose necklaces decorated with the star of the South. The establishment is a reference in the region, with more than half a century of existence.

On the beach of Sidi Bouzid, a restaurant specializing in fish and seafood, open since 1967. It is a friendly and pleasant place, with its terrace overlooking the sea. Fish skewers and the chef's own shellfish pot are recommended. Also good skewers cooked over a wood fire. You can also enjoy it at cocktail hour. What a pleasure to sip a cold beer while watching the sun go down on the sea! The place is very crowded in summer. Don't forget to book if you don't want to wait.

The Palace of Fez, also known as Dar Tazi, is one of the city's most popular guest houses. It includes one of the most beautiful collections of Moroccan carpets. But it is also one of its most refined tables. The setting is perfect for a prime gastronomic stopover, in the shade of the terrace for lunch, or for a romantic dinner at the foot of the medina. Don't miss the pigeon pastilla, certainly one of the best in Fez. Remember to book in the evening and, with a simple call, we will pick you up free of charge.

In the heart of the city, this popular and authentic canteen was the home of the Moroccan writer, Mohamed Choukri, who often came to write and eat good food. This institution, with its Spanish atmosphere, is also famous for its delicious meat skewers and grilled fish cooked with charcoal. The decoration remains however unspecified, with some pictures of the old Tangier, but a nice patio will allow you to sit down on the terrace. Carefully and professionally staffed. A must have!

Dar Roumana is a famous table in Fez. The chef, Younes Idrissi, is happy to adapt a gastronomic cuisine by integrating Moroccan culinary principles. The menu offers every day different dishes based on fresh seasonal products, a fusion Franco-Moroccan cuisine whose menu leaves you the choice between several starters, main courses and desserts according to your desires. We recommend roasted pumpkin salad and braised rabbit in mustard sauce. The restaurant being quite popular, remember to book!

Located near the Oudayas district, this restaurant is the most sophisticated in Rabat when it comes to Moroccan cuisine. Here you can taste classic dishes in the refined setting of an old Arab-Andalusian palace. We appreciate the misty atmosphere in the light of the lanterns. A la carte, must-haves such as the harira, a traditional soup or pigeon and almond pastilla, marinated chicken, lamb tagine with dried fruit. The non-exhaustive menu focuses on a few classics cooked according to the rules of the art. Lovely welcome.

From the main street of the Portuguese city, you can see this panoramic terrace, popular with lovers and Moroccan families at snack time. The entrance is not easy to find, but you just have to ask the locals. Once you reach the terrace, the place reveals a breathtaking view of El Jadida and the Atlantic Ocean. Under the awning or in the open air, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast or a good Moroccan snack. It is also possible to eat there, the card proposing among other things various tajines.

This is an inexpensive restaurant frequented by tourists on their way to the desert of Merzouga or the imperial city of Fez. Lunch is served on a roadside terrace or in a room with no particular charm. The menu features tajines, brochettes, pizzas, couscous or omelettes, with a Moroccan soup or salad as starter and a small piece of cake for dessert. A tea, without much flavor, is served as a digestive, before you hit the road again. Service, in English, is rushed and impersonal.

This restaurant brings together a public that is both sporty, thanks to the rebroadcasting of all major live events such as the World Cup, and trendy. From Wednesday to Saturday evening, a live band warms up the atmosphere of this establishment which revisits the standards of Spanish cuisine. The menu, not surprisingly, offers mainly tapas, which are very appetizing. The counter is located right in the middle of the room, to reinforce the Spanish estaminet atmosphere and to encourage proximity during peak hours.

In the heart of Rotana de la Palmeraie, this space is a haven of peace, far from the frenetic bustle of the city. Whether you want to enjoy a snack on the go, have a drink or a dish of the day, this shaded terrace promises a quiet moment. The brasserie-style menu will suit all appetites: from the poke bowl to the entrecote/frites, not forgetting the Caesar salad or the hot or cold sandwiches to be created to order, if you feel like improvising... After a game of golf, the visit is obvious.

This is Nador's most popular restaurant for fresh fish at reasonable prices. Orders are taken in front of the refrigerated display case where red mullet, sole, prawns, langoustines, sometimes even lobsters and other delights of the sea are displayed. Once you've made your choice, you're given a number to take a seat in the air-conditioned dining room or on one of the roadside terraces. The fresh fish goes straight into the hands of the cooks, who grill it without waiting in front of the customers. Service is fast, perhaps even a little rushed.

Just a stone's throw from the splendid Bab Mansour gateway and its large square, the riad Ritaj offers gourmet Moroccan cuisine of the highest quality, from tajine to briouate and couscous, in a sumptuous setting, a bling-bling table under zellige ceilings. Here, it's possible to reserve a tanjia, the famous meat cooked over the ashes of the hammam. It's delicious, but you need at least 24 hours' notice! The welcome is warm and the service professional. A good address.

12 km from Erfoud, an authentic address lost in the middle of nowhere. On the menu, an original Moroccan and Berber cuisine, made of local and seasonal products. The setting is worth the detour for the panoramic view on the dunes of Erg Chebbi from the terrace. Excellent service and hearty meals. Think of calling before you go there. The establishment is also a guest house, the rates are a bit high, but the service is still of high quality... Nice swimming pool and excursions in the desert. Nice welcome from Hassan and his team, friendly and willing.

Cooking like at home " because the dishes are never as good as prepared this way", says Younes, manager of the restaurant les Terrasses de la medersa. His speciality: royal couscous and sa t'faya (sauce with chickpeas, raisins and caramelised onions). Conviviality, its key word, is found even in the decoration, simple, but warm. The terrace, which has been refreshed, is located just in front of the Ben Youssef medersa and the mosque. Lovers of Arab-Andalusian architecture will be delighted.

A table d'hôte in an exceptional setting, with a view of the valley of m'Goum, Tassaout and Tichka. Salad, fish, and other dishes cooked in the Moroccan way, a treat and attractive prices. A smiling and endearing staff. The pretty swimming pool is at your disposal, the occasion to refresh yourself and to spend a pleasant moment in an establishment thought with taste. Abdel's welcome is warm and sincere. A good address with a shaded terrace, and a traditional hammam to relax after a long day of visit in the region.

One of the most famous restaurants in Sidi Ifni. On the menu, a refined Moroccan cuisine based on fresh products: pastilla and spider crab to order the old, prawns a la plancha and the inevitable seafood tagine ... Meat lovers, on the other hand, will fall for the delicious chicken curry. All served professionally, in generous quantities. The setting is moreover warm and the staff takes good care of you. If you're looking for the best table in town, don't bother looking, you've found it!

Facing the lake and the Atlas mountains, it's in a magical setting that you can enjoy your meal in the shade of the straw huts. Nathalie and her team welcome you in a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy family-style cuisine. There's a wide choice of grilled meats: beef, lamb, sardines... unless you prefer a tagine. After lounging on the deckchairs and taking a siesta, there are plenty of activities on offer: horseback riding along the banks, quad biking, buggies or a game of pétanque... it's all very French!

Located on the main square for more than forty years, this family restaurant is the meeting point for the local men, especially during football matches where the atmosphere is in full swing. We simply eat there, but copiously a good Moroccan cuisine in the shade of the parasols. We recommend the Berber tagine, the house's specialty. Sometimes singers and snake charmers come to animate the terrace for the pleasure of tourists. Also a pleasant place to have a drink in the late afternoon. Good value for money.

The establishment is located a few meters from the beach. You will have the choice between the sunny terrace sheltered from the wind or the dining room decorated soberly, but still warm. A varied menu at low prices that offers salads, fish, meat or pizzas. There's something for everyone. Also a menu of the day at a reasonable price. Possibility to take your meals with you or have them delivered, an interesting option to organize a picnic on the sand. Fast and professional service.

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.

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.

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.
