I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. Our waiter was very friendly and they were very accommodating to my sick girlfriend. We ate there 2 nights in a row. The first night I had a fish dish that was very tasty. It was a whole roasted fish along with peppers, onions, potatoes, etc etc etc. I was very happy with it. The... more

This restaurant has good local repuation for its food and service. The interior is handsome, with just a touch of formality -- tablecloths and brass candleholders await you at your seat, and food is served with an attentive flourish. The owners are a local husband and wife team who seem to really care about their customers. If you had been... more

It was Trip Advisor postings that alerted us to this superb restaurant in the traditional Moroccan style, and after our first meal there we booked again for our next night in Essaouira. The restaurant is small and simple, but tastefully decorated and airy with its high ceilings. The seating is comfortable and not cramped. Candles on the tables and fresh... more

A family run restaurant (husband and wife). Lovely authentic interior. Small menu, mainly tagines. Chef came out to say hello and check the food was ok. Very friendly. Food was very good but not the best we have had in Essaouira - just a little bit plain and the meat tagine not as flavoursome as in Taros for example. Nice... more

Staff are very friendly and the food was great. Excellent value as well for the amount and quality of food. Highly recommended and congratulations to the owner. The... more

M'Riste Jouhar (Chez Mabroka) - We visited Essaouira for the second time this year and found ourselves again visiting this beautiful restaurant. We were not disappointed by the welcome we were given by the staff who had remembered us from our previous visits before. The food was delicious, service excellent and great value for money. We would suggest trying the... more

Best Moroccan food available in Essaouira - discovered this place on our last night having had a number of very disappointing meals. more

Mriste Jouhar Chez Mabrouka restaurant is in the same street as l'Alliance Francaise Institute in the heart of the medina of Essaouira. We were there with my family on 27th December 08, ordered typical Moroccan dishes such as various salades, tajines and couscous. Everything was cooked to perfection. I am half Moroccan and I can only say that it is... more

It is a pity trip advisor doesn't have a six star rating for exceptional places like this. Although it may appear a little tucked away, this fantastic restaurant is well worth seeking out. Of our time in Essaouira we decided this place couldn't be beaten in any category. It was also notable for the number of other diners we spoke... more
