What Client Says?

Excellent place to relax and eat! We had the tagine with merguez and it was the best of our stay! As a bonus we had Moroccan tea and pastries, the best we've ever had. They are prepared on the spot by an adorable team! We can't recommend going to Essaouira without stopping here!

Excellent endroit pour ce détendre et manger ! Nous avons pris le tajine aux merguez et c’était le meilleure de notre séjour ! En prime nous avons pris le thé marocain et les pâtisseries, c’était les meilleures jamais mangé. Elles sont préparées sur place par une équipe adorable ! Nous recommandons à mille pour-cent, impossible d’aller à Essaouira sans passer par là!
Maé Royer

Zeer gezellig en warm restaurant, zeer lieve bediening en zeer goede kok! Tajines waren subliem 🤤 Zeker hun hoge plaats in de ranking waard!

A lovely gem in Essaouira. Lovely rooftop (albeit you cannot see much from there). Friendly staff. The building itself was really pretty and full of character. We’ve ordered nous nous and omelette.
Marianna Ryan

Great view on a beautiful terrace. Great food. Lovely service and a great price to match. Would highly recommend.

Su una terrazza panoramica, accogliente e arredata con gusto e secondo tradizione, abbiamo trovato un'ottima cucina familiare, come di rado accade. Personale gentile. Lo consiglio vivamente
Paola T

El restaurante es íntimo, atendido por los dueños y se degusta muy buena cocina magrebí. Tiene precios bastante razonables, Tardan un poco en servir pero es todo fresco y muy bueno. La atención también es muy buena.
Marcelo_Caballero

Дружелюбный и радушный приём, вкусная домашняя еда, приятная атмосфера, посетителей немного. Можно рассчитаться карточкой. Приятное место. Спасибо.
Alexander Volkov

A quiet, unassuming spot off the eaten path proved to be the culinary highlight of my Moroccan holiday. The fresh orange juice was tasty, the simple tomato cucumber salad equally tasty but but but - the octopus tagine! The octopus tagine was sublime! After every mouthful I was compelled to vocalize how much I was enjoying it to my companion and after every mouthful I became more and more sure this was one of the best octopus dishes, hey who needs that qualifier, was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. When complimenting the charming chef I struck a deal to obtain the recipe if id leave a review… well I’m waiting…
