The best seafood restaurants Morocco

Lounge lounge specialising in fresh fish cooked in the heart of Essaouira's Medina. An authentic and refined map. Moroccan and French wines are offered.

From the terraces overlooking the sqala, it is very pleasant to listen to the live band that plays at the bar in the evening. The motto of the house: Live music and sunset! But you can also enjoy fish cooked with all kinds of sauces, wood-fired pizzas, or even an extravagant seafood platter with lobster. This restaurant with multiple views and friendly spaces has taken over an old house and was recently taken over by a new manager, hyper available for his guests. A very good moment assured in the front row of the spectacle of the ocean.

Just above, but slightly off the road between M'diq and Tétouan, this restaurant offers the catch of the day. Choose your meal from the sea bream, sole and whiting displayed in a refrigerated display case. The more economical option is to choose the fried shrimp, squid, fish and rice platter. The à la carte menu includes red mullet and monkfish, with a variety of salads and desserts to round things off. A small terrace lets you enjoy your meal outdoors. In summer, the wait can be long, as this is a very busy address.

As its name suggests, this restaurant has been delighting iodine lovers for many years. La Vitamine de la Mer occupies an old house, with a traditional style. Here you will enjoy fresh fish and seafood nicely prepared by a chef who knows his repertoire inside out. Clams, shrimp mayonnaise and fried food are among the great classics of the house. If the first floor is a bit cramped and dark with its brown roughcast, the terrace sheltered under a canisse is very pleasant.

A little way from the medina, this is a restaurant worth discovering. This excellent restaurant offers fish and seafood at reasonable prices. The produce is fresh, straight from the market. We love the dishes presented steaming in thick clay plates and wooden cutlery. They are accompanied by dried fruit, olives and harissa. The specialty is barley soup with seafood. On the à la carte menu, you'll find the catch of the day, st. pierre, sole, pageot and sea bream. The attentive service adds to the pleasure.

Installed behind the fishing port of Tangier, a dozen gargotes offer more or less the same menu. You'll have to remain phlegmatic, the touts can be insistent! The Remontada located at the bottom left opposite the artisanal fishing market is frequented by a popular clientele and some tourists. For a handful of dirhams, you can eat a plate of shrimps, a fresh fried fish, a tagine or a salad under the eye of a seagull perched on a lamp post ready to fly to Spain.

This café is nestled in a small cove at the foot of a recently developed promenade south of Cape Spartel, just before reaching Achakar beach. Here you can sit down after a swim in the choppy Atlantic waters that stretch as far as the eye can see. You will find an assortment of salads and grilled sardines, tajines of freshly caught fish. In the shade of the umbrella, you can watch the waves crashing on the rocks. A glass of mint tea accompanies this moment suspended in time.

El Tangerino is one of the new trendy addresses in Tangier. It offers two atmospheres on two levels: the lounge bar with its subdued lights offers a nice wine and cocktail list. And the restaurant welcomes you in a marine atmosphere: fishing nets and ropes on the walls. It serves Spanish-inspired cuisine with Tangier notes: a wide choice of tapas, paella, tartars, meats and fish a la plancha as well as very good desserts. Nice view on the cornice from the first floor. Temporary exhibitions are also available.

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.

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!

Run by a Frenchwoman, this small, unpretentious restaurant offers a very pleasant lunch break during the day. You can sit out on the terrace and enjoy the view of the oued, or in the peaceful inner courtyard. The Vietnamese-Moroccan chef, Abdala, prepares delicious homemade nems, not to be missed. You can also enjoy fresh grilled fish, soups and hearty salads. Sushi and maki are also available to order. During the entire service, the chef takes great care of his customers.

This small restaurant, located on the Mohamed V ledge, is worth partly for its beautiful ocean view. On the menu: seafood products with huge fried dishes, squid, sardines, sole, shellfish and other freshly caught fish of the day. Rates are no higher than most specialty restaurants, with confidence as a bonus. The establishment also has a tapas bar upstairs. The plus? The restaurant serves all day long if you're feeling peckish, and stays open until late at night.

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.

This restaurant located at the corner of a street, slightly set back from the National, plays the marine card to the full. The tables are covered in white and blue and a large sign with a swordfish and rudder welcomes you. The chef prepares tasty grilled fish that you can choose from the refrigerated display case. Most of the recipes are from the Spanish repertoire, such as paella, fish croquettes, marinated anchovies or the delicious Valencian-style grilled swordfish. In case of bad weather, the restaurant is closed, proof that everything is fresh.
