Where to eat Mediterranean food in Essaouira: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Mediterranean food in Essaouira, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region, Morocco. Portuguese, French and Berber architecture frame the maze-like streets of Essaouira, a charming and vibrant port and resort town on the Atlantic Ocean. Nearby, couples and families stroll the beaches of Cape Sim and Sidi Kaouki, which also attract surfers of all types. Relaxation is easy to find here, as is a bus to Marrakech, for those looking for a daytrip.

Very nice staff - cool friendly place. Food was delicious, (simple but done very well). Cosy, more casual dining on the maisonette. Serves alcohol. Would really recommend the duck or beef.

"la Terrace des saveurs" is the perfect example of a well-run restaurant with amazing food, super nice staff and ideal location.Situated on the bay of Essaouira, the restaurant features a modern/chic decor, ideal for families and couples looking to enjoy fresh seafood, fish plates and local food in a charming and relaxing atmosphere.Prices are very good for the location and it has free WIFI, useful when a Mb can cost 4euros in Morroco.I have been going to Essaouira for 15 years and this is a place I will return every time I am in the city.5 stars all around!!!Thank you for your kind review.

Restaurant decorated with gaiety. Home in simplicity and gentillese. Small menu card but regular suggestions.

Our food was indeed fabulous and we thank La Cle de Voute for their creativity in offering what I'd say are truly different and successful dishes. We were lucky as we arrived early and benefited form the good service, relative quiet and personal attention you'd expect in a place which serves high caliber of food. But all the seats quickly filled due to advanced bookings, the service slowed and it was finally a relief to get out of the cramped, rather noisy room, which I'm sorry to say lacks ambience. There's little in the way the dining area is arranged, the background music they use, or the decor to make Le Cle de Voute feel intimate, relaxed or friendly. Pretension is starting to creep into what was probably once a lovely restaurant. It may be that their reputation for great food on social media is starting to detract from the overall dining experience. When somewhere becomes an on line 'foodie holy grail,' the real life dynamic often changes and and I'm afraid this has happened to Le Cle de Voute. Perhaps it's time to hike up the prices and get a larger restaurant!

Another delicious experience at dâOrient et dâAilleurs which has now become my must-stop-by restaurant whenever Iâm in Essaouira. I was delighted to see some novelties added on the menu like the John Dory filet served with a very tasty coconut sauce and tender vegetables. My partner went for his usual meat couscous (always generous portions). I also tried the dried fruit pie for dessert, a sweet touch that tickle the palate but doesnât weigh heavy on the stomach. Altogether another very agreeable evening!

Situated in the most picturesque square, eating at BistrO is an experience you won't forget. As a vegetarian, I had many choices from the menu and had the most delicious dinner by far during my stay in Essaouira. Leo & staff are warm, fun, knowledgeable and there to ensure you have a great meal. The chic decor and great music also enhance the experience of BistrO. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful little place with seats for 10 people. The pasta is served al dente and a starter is brought with a bread basket and 2 small juices; orange with apple and the other orange with banana. The starter could be pureed carrot, green beans and a little rice or lentils, served in a very pretty way. The cost of only 50 dirhams is so reasonable, almost too little for a meal that even Jamie O would be proud off.Visit and leave a tip for these two marvellous Moroccan ladies.

Eight of us on a group tour dined at Zahra's Grill on our last night in Essaouira. The dishes were marvelous. In addition to the menu, there were multiple appetizers and mains tailored to the types of fish available that day from the port. All of the diners on our group raved about their choices. Reservations are a must. The downstairs restaurant in Riad Zahra would have been our choice for the next evening if we weren't departing the next day.Dear Stuart,Good to see that you sharing the wonderful experience you had at Zahraâs Grill restaurantwith the world and happy to hear that you had a wonderful time at our restaurant.Next time you can visit our second downstairs restaurant Les Delices de Zahra.Hope to see you again !!!Xavier

We had dinner here and were pleasantly surprised w/the setting, ambience, quiet blues music playing during dinner and would certainly recommend enjoying dinner here. We didn't reserve ahead and were seated immediately. Others dining while there were another couple, and 2 families at different tables. Quiet and well behaved children.

Weâve been in Morocco for 10 days and have had plenty of tajine. Some good some bad. From the moment I tasted the sweet chicken with caramalized onions and raisins, I was floored. The flavor was the best Iâve had. We also ordered the meatball tajine with egg. Just as delicious but I really loved the chicken. The restaurant is unassuming. Mom is upstairs cooking and her son takes care of the customers. Quick, delicious, off the beaten path but worth it!
