Restaurants cuisine du monde Essaouira

This address is one of the big favourites in Essaouira! The atmosphere is warm and intimate (the climate in the city can withstand a good blaze even in summer). The concept is tasty: a good dish, a good film and a very soft price. Simple but original, despite the stiff competition from the ex-Mogador. Ideal for those who always fall asleep at the movies or eat too much at restaurants. At the House of Cinema, the balance is found. The programming offers a wide choice of films, classic or recent and heterogeneous. Quiet now, it's about to start...

Situated on a small square on the edge of the Mellah, this tiny establishment really deserves encouragement. The dishes on offer are delicious, the welcome superb and the value for money excellent. Depending on your tastes, you can have lunch in a pretty little room or on the sunny micro-terrace. Every day, the menu features a vegetarian platter, grilled meats with fresh salads, 2 daily specials and an array of desserts. Whatever your choice, the dish will be well presented, hearty and always subtly spiced.

Located on the second floor of the riad of the same name, the restaurant offers a lovely view of the sea. Its strong point? Without question, the fresh, well-executed seafood.

You can then set your sights on the finest catches of the day, and enjoy a feast once served at table. There are also a number of specialties that are hard to find in Essaouira and for which the restaurant is renowned.

As you wander through the narrow streets, you often come across charming little restaurants. This one is one of the lucky winners.

But if you hesitate, you can go for the menu of the day, simple and efficient.

It is in their small restaurant of 25 seats, located in the heart of the medina, that the team of Khadija and Marc welcomes you warmly. The new owners, who arrived at the beginning of 2018, have kept the recipe of this restaurant with a good-natured atmosphere. Tagliatelle, bread, yoghurt: everything is fresh and homemade. Couscous with camel meat every Monday, chicken pastilla crispy as you like, stuffed squid or sheep mrouzia at Eid: the food is delicious and booking is recommended. Good value for money.

In 1893, the shoreline had only beach cabins and then a shack became a café. Taken over by the Ben Ghadda family in 1965, the Chalet ou chez Jeannot is an institution that has great assets: a magnificent setting with a view of the islands, the sea breeze, feet in the water and a decor amassed over time. The menu gives pride of place to seafood, spiders and lobsters, without forgetting its famous oyster tagine, appreciated by the King himself.

Make way for traditional and modern Moroccan cuisine, from pastilla to couscous to fish tagine. Add to that some meats prepared according to international tastes.

Don't miss the homemade desserts (fresh fruit salad with mint, apple and honey pastilla). Reservations are recommended, especially in high season.

The Madada Mogador restaurant welcomes its guests in a subdued and elegant, yet relaxed atmosphere. The menu expresses a great wealth of flavours. Moroccan classics, ocean products or more exotic recipes: Chef Souad has several strings to her bow. Spider crab au gratin, linguine with lobster or clams, and lamb mouse with saffron sauce are all on the menu, which is gourmet and without fuss, even if the presentation is neat. Some evenings, you will dine to live music.

At the bend of an alley in the old kasbah, we discover this restaurant with a unique atmosphere. The walls are steeped in history as the building dates back to 1783 and was used as a fishermen's workshop to become an Anglican mission. The surprising decoration and the warm setting make you want to sit down and enjoy an organic and inventive market cuisine made from fish or vegetables. The menu changes according to the fishing of the day or the vegetables of the season and the bread with fennel and flax seeds, carrots and raisins comes out of the ovens every morning.

If you're in the mood for Italian food, you've come to the right place! Located just outside the medina and a stone's throw from the beach, this restaurant with its hushed ambience has made a name for itself.

Taros is the Berber name for this wind from the north, and it is also the name of this café-restaurant, which is very well known in town. The terrace, its main asset, offers a sumptuous view of Moulay Hassan Square and the activities of the port. Ideal for a break and a refreshment. The establishment has three atmospheres: a gastronomic one, a cozy restaurant and a tapas and oyster bar. The Taros is very popular on weekends and during the Gnaoua festival; it also hosts exhibitions and regularly schedules live music events.

What probably contributed to the undeniable success of Sirocco is certainly the colorful personality of Annie, the happy owner of the place, who has the gift of putting you at ease right away.

Vintage 70s decor and cosmopolitan cuisine are the hallmarks of one of the funniest restaurants in Essaouira's medina.

A menu with Iberian accents: tapas galore (octopus in red wine or papas bravas), to be enjoyed with friends over an inventive cocktail like the Morocco Dance, but also simple dishes like grilled chicken. The best part? Omar, the owner, promises music and a host of events throughout the year.

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.

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.
