Sidi Kaouki

Just waiting for you is a stylish Moroccan villa on the beach of Sid KAouki which our guests are invited to use as a Clubhouse. The large terraces on the first and second floor invite you to relax in the sun and also offer a fantastic view of the ocean. Our secialty is fresh fish, big fresh salats and daily menu. It is a special experience to watch the fire red African sun sink into the sea, while having a sundowner on one of the terrasses. In this nice atmosphare you can spend the whole day in the club house between your surf- sessions.

Iconic place to have a meal and watch the sunset or chill out. Watersports-themed but don't let that keep you out if that's not your thing. Good range of dishes and friendly staff. Rental of surf gear is on-site and easy.

Zahra's Grill (Riad Zahra)

Grilling dishes on glowing embers was at the base of all cookery, and is an art our Chef Mohammed has mastered perfectly. Here on the second floor of the Riad Zahra with an ocean view Mediterranean cuisine is to the fore. Paëllas, lobster or prawns, sea fish, shellfish, meat ... At the heart of our cuisine are the superb natural products, which give out all their savours under the embers' influence, sharing their aromas with the grills and the products cooked on them. Jofre will help you choose dishes that are just right for you and will help you choose wines to match them. There's also a wide range of wines for you to enjoy.

Gusto Italia

Charming Italian restaurant. In this beautiful location you can find products imported every week from Italy. Fresh pasta like ravioli and gnocchi are home made every day. Carpaccio, italian charcuterie and tiramisu are real must. Pizzas are like the best you can find in Italy.

We came here essentially because our apartment was close and we arrived in the evening hungry. The good reviews on here are justified. The road it's on is a bit ropey but don't let it put you off, the restaurant itself is great. The waiter...MoreThank you so much for your visit and your review! We hope to see you again.

Al Vent

"Al vent" opens with the idea of offering a meal nearby on the senses, where the ingredients are part of the daily landscape of Sidi Kaouki. The products of the sea only come from the local fishermen who leave daily to work. The meat comes from goats and cows graze freely in this lovely villa, and vegetables are chosen according to the season closer prioritizing. And with all this you can eat rice with lobster across the ocean, or some tagine of Sidi Kaouki's goat, wrapped in good music always "al vent" abre con la idea de ofrecer una comida cercana en los sentidos, donde los ingredientes son parte del paisaje diario de Sidi Kaouki. Los productos de la mar solo vienen de los pescadores locales que salen diariamente a trabajar. La carne procede de los pollos, cabras y vacas que pastan libremente por esta encantadora villa, y las verduras son escogidas segun la temporada, priorizando las mas cercanas. Y con todo esto te puedes comer una paella de langosta mirando el Atlantico, o un tagine de cabra de Sidi Kaouki, envuelto siempre en buena musica. "Al vent" recull l'essencia mediterranea adaptada a l'Atlantic i la cultura amazigh

we stayed in Sidi Kaoki for a few nights and once we discovered this place ended up eating here every night. great view of sunsets, lovely, ramshackle space so if you're expecting luxury maybe this isn't the place for you but the food was without exception excellent - one night we splashed out on a sting-ray paella - the owner is catalan - and it was incredible, i can still remember the taste, the fish so delicate with the big flavours of the caramelised rice. thanks for looking after us Victor and his team, i hope one day we return.

L'Amiral

Reviewed By fredaRome - rome

I have now eaten at this admirable restaurant many times over the last two years, and the quality of the food never flags. Delicious, classical French cooking. with a light touch, in a relaxed atmosphere, with impeccable and attentive service. The owners are always on hand, and make every guest feel special. It is a little hard to locate, but a great advantage is that you can drive and park right in front of it.

Restaurant Hotel Residence le Kaouki

Typical Moroccan food (delicious tajines, grilled fish & meat, couscous, salads, fruits and amazing desserts) and a mix of special influences made with seasonal and fresh products (special vegan menus available). The meals are served inside with fireplace where you can dine by candlelight in a cosy warm atmosphere or in the patio. For special wishes, call before. Reviews on Residence Le Kaouki (Bed & B)

My wife and I ate here in early January 2018. The delicious fresh fish was a real treat and the candle lit dinner provided a glowing ambience. Excellent service and highly recommended.

One of the best (if not the best) places we've eaten at during our 3-week trip to Morocco. Delicious salads and fish. A bit ottolenghi style :-). A real hidden gem!

Aucun professionnalisme dans le service ! Ouvert courant été 2017, si le service en salle ne progresse pas, le restaurant ne pourra pas fonctionner. Pourtant, une certaine recherche dans la façon de cuisiner le poisson mais le prix n'est pas justifié...
