Tanger

If the address appeals to travelers (the menus are in three languages and the choice is vast), it knows how to remain authentic. It serves good local cuisine, including a perfectly mastered prune tagine that is a hit with everyone, a vegetable tagine for vegetarians, and excellent sole, grilled swordfish and squid. The establishment is ideally located, a stone's throw from the port and at the entrance to the medina. It is therefore easy to find. Low prices and warm and pleasant service will quickly seduce you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
