Ceuta Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Ceuta
Ceuta (assimilated pronunciation /ˈsjuːtə/ SEW-tə; also /ˈseɪʊtə/ SAY-uu-tə; Spanish: [ˈθeuta]; Arabic: سبتة, Sabtah; Berber languages: ⵙⴰⴱⵜⴰ) is an 18.5-square-kilometre (7.1 sq mi) Spanish autonomous city on the north coast of Africa, separated by 14 kilometres from Cadiz province on the Spanish mainland by the Strait of Gibraltar and sharing a 6.4 kilometre land border with M'diq-Fnideq Prefecture in the Kingdom of Morocco. It lies along the boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and is one of nine populated Spanish territories in Africa and, along with Melilla, one of two populated territories on mainland Africa. It was part of Cádiz province until 14 March 1995 when both Ceuta and Melilla's Statutes of Autonomy were passed, the latter having been part of Málaga province.

This modest little place really does outperform expectations. Pity about the fairly average Spanish brown-tiled decor and the oh so cold, haemorrhoid- freezing surfaces you have to sit on, but the eating is stunning. Every dish terrific and freshly cooked. Wonderful range of tapas. Order freely and enjoy. The stuff will come in waves to your table. Decent wines too. Prices very reasonable at at a European level. The town itself a very delightful little place.t

We go often to eat to this restaurant even in spite of the area where it is situated, right next to a petrol/gas station.
The sea food they serve is more than worth it. But also the kindness, availability and good advice from their crew is a good point to attract the attention of any customer. Normally I prefer the winter because the dining room is big enough and basically decorated with a view to the sea-food display and the wines range. In summer time you are normally seated outdoor very close to a parking area.
Basic cooking, and good quality product, that´s all they need.
By the way, a lot of good wine references are also available, red as well as white varieties.

Has a unique location in the Portuguese ramparts.
As the weather was good we decided to opt for lunch outdoors, which is very nice. The menu has an array of delicious salads and paninis all with religious names. The service was very kind. The price was reasonable. liked it

This little bar and restaurant is just outside the city and have a very local touch, it non-touristy for sure. Food is delicious and freshly cooked. Tapas and the likes of it - all you could ever want. Its location right next to the beach makes it a bit busy during peak launch time.

We went here based on its number one place on tripadvisor in Ceuta. We did phone to book a table. The earliest booking was 9pm. We were a little early and had a little stroll around. There were great views of Gibraltar. At the restaurant we got great views as well. We had a couple of tagines, delicious food, great wine and extremely good value for money.

Lots of options here, Moroccan breads and teas, Spanish churros and coffee, tropical juices, all of good quality with great service and excellent prices. Very popular with the locals. I've had breakfast here a few times now, and always left happy.

We were recommended this little fish restaurant by the Tourist Office. We asked for a place where they served fish and seafood and were delighted to find this small restaurant nested in a side street of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in Morocco. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful, the prices were reasonable, the waiter was knowledgeable. All together we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this fish restaurant to anyone in the area ... who likes fish and seafood!!

I've been there month ago and I'm still thinking about this great restaurant. It's a must in Ceuta. Go there and enjoy. :) Try everything, perfectly sliced serrano ham, great chees, amazing fresh tuna and paella. It's bit more expensive, but defo worth last penny.
