This restaurant is friendly and flavoursome! I always go there when in Essaouira to say hello to Frédéric and Frédérrique who run it and for the food, of course. Some of the highlights: lentil salad with the justly famous local argan oil, couscous with camel and a delicious orange mousse served with tiny pastries made by a local women's cooperative. more

If you have a hankering for Moroccan cuisine with a decidedly French accent, this is the place to go. Prices are reasonable but don't expect abundance. Real estate agents would call the dining room cozy. The ambiance could be improved considerably by losing the flourescent bulbs and bouncing a few halogens off the high cieling. And, please, we're all for... more
