Where to eat Middle Eastern food in Chefchaouen: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Middle Eastern restaurants to try in Chefchaouen. This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

Large generous portion of couscous with chicken and veggies. Tangine chicken had a beautiful crust served with bread and fries. 3 course meals with lots of options for cheap! Appetizers we had were eggplant and Moroccan salad (think ceviche fresh) Group we were in had a good mix of dietary restrictions and were all accommodated. Abd Rahim was our server super nice!

Chefchaouen is a tourist Mecca, so there are loads of restaurants around the town that attempt to lure in visitors with glossy menus full of local âspecialtiesâ like pizza, tacos and burgers. We wanted something Moroccan, and we wanted it to be well prepared and not overpriced. When someone from Moriscos presented us with a menu, we explained what we were after, and that Iâm a cook at my own restaurant. He insisted that we had found the best possible place, and that they offered local dishes that we wouldnât find at the other places on the square. He even showed me the kitchen to demonstrate how clean and orderly it was. That was enough for us, so up we went to the top floor overlooking the Utta el-Hamam square below, so we could watch the passersby and listen to the musicians not far away. The meal we had was excellent. We started off with a goatâs cheese salad (Chefchaouen is known for its goatâs cheese) and a dish of tomatoes with peppers, both delicious, and these were accompanied by a dish of olives and a spinach salad along with some fresh breads. For our mains we had a Chefchaouen-style tajine of goat with prunes and a chicken bastilla, both of which we enjoyed immensely, though it was a bit more food than we really neededâwe could have easily done with one main instead of two. This was then followed by fresh slices of sweet and refreshing watermelon. This was an excellent meal, and reasonably priced. Definitely a winner!

Casa Hassan combines excellent traditional Moroccan cooking with a cozy dining space inside the enclosed patio of a former dar (mansion). The small, beautifully tiled kitchen and its friendly cooks whip up an amazing bistilla, flaky outside and sweet and delicious inside. The calamari is also quite succulent, lightly spiced to perfection. Waitstaff are courteous and obliging. It's a nice place for a relaxed meal after a day of taking in the wonders of this famed "blue town."

Great place, loved the upstairs terrace and sunset! Good food, great salad with avocat and figs. Live guitar was nice, untill there was live singing; could not understand my table-partner any more. Would defintily come back without the loud singing voice ;)

Buzzing place opposite the Kasbah. Food as you would expect in this area. Tasty tagines, a solid size portion. Couscous a little bland, but went well with the otherfood. Get a seat close to the square/plaza to watch the world go by.

When going to Chefchaouen, this is one of the best restaurants to go to. They have moroccan specialities such as the tajine, but also have a killer aubergine lasagne and spanish croquettas that are amazing! The brevettes were also really good and dont forget to try the homemade lemonade. The view and the whole setting makes this restaurant a perfect experience.
