3 Best Restaurants in High Atlas, Morocco

Nestled in the foothills of the mountains near Ouirgane, Chez Momo is a delightful spot to sip a cocktail by the small pool or have a barbecue dinner seated on one of the chairs fashioned from tree trunks. After a feast you may find yourself inquiring about one of the seven cozy rooms and six suites, where a breakfast of morning coffee and beghrir (pancakes) is brought to your door each morning.

For sophisticated dining in Oukaïmeden, you’ll instantly appreciate Juju’s yesteryear feel, modeled after alpine-style accommodations. The restaurant has been operating for more than 60 years and serves distinctly French dishes such as cassoulet and tartiflette, alongside some Moroccan choices like tagines. There’s a bar, too.

For only 50 DH, you can get a great meal here consisting of three courses made entirely by the family's mother. Go for a classic Moroccan salad (tomatoes and peppers) and a tagine of your choice and eat on the quaint platform overlooking the river. It's simple and very Moroccan.
