Mediterranean cuisine restaurants Tanger

A breath of casual chic is what this address, opened in 2022, brings to the table. It was initiated by Lamiae, a jewelry designer, and her husband Seif, a photographer. In a bright and contemporary space, they offer a healthy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine appreciated by a modern clientele. Thai beef salad, squash risotto or Ottolenghi-inspired cauliflower are served at all hours. With a designer store and regular workshops upstairs, jazz and cool music, "Alma" is unique. Delivery and take-out.

On the seafront, Côté Sud is an excellent address for eating fish and seafood. Facing the waves, on the beautiful terrace sheltered from the wind, there is an absolute quietude here reinforced by the refined decoration. Treat yourself to Dakhla oysters or a creamy burrata served on a tomato carpaccio with a pistachio pesto and a little balsamic cream. The paella and the grilled fish are delicious. For dessert, the destructured yuzu lemon pie is famous. Nice selection of wines and good welcome.

Now linked to Tangier by bus line number 5, the town of Médiouna is spread out on a hill overlooking the Atlantic coast. It is attracting more and more people who want a quiet life just 20 minutes from the city center. The view stretches for miles to Asilah in the south and to the Cap Spartel lighthouse in the north. Established here about ten years ago and run by Spaniards, this address offers a predominantly Mediterranean cuisine with, of course, paella as the main dish. The setting is rural and the tranquility guaranteed.

Mediterranean cuisine is on the menu at this restaurant, one of the three opened within the Fairmont Tazi palace perched in the heart of the Old Mountain district. It gives pride of place to local products and in particular to shellfish and fish caught in the strait located a few blocks away. Even the most modest ones like mackerel are offered in a creative and gourmet adaptation. A chic but relaxed setting. On weekends, the atmosphere can be turned up a notch thanks to the musicians and singers who perform live on a rock tempo.

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.

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.
