  • 1. Café Clock Chefchaouen

    $

    The hugely popular Café Clock company has arrived in a cool blue riad in Chefchaouen. It comes with the same relaxed vibe as its counterparts in Fez and Marrakesh, as well as menu favorites like camel burger and a wide variety of fish dishes. It's much more than just your standard café, and offers fascinating cultural programs featuring Riffian artists and musicians.

    Fresh, simply grilled fish and other seafood reign supreme here, along with several resort-style bars placed strategically around the two terraces and captain's cabin–style interior. There is a large selection of Moroccan wines on offer, with Guerrouane being a good bet. The house salads are well prepared and can be made to suit the size of your party. The views of the bay and local fishing boats from the outdoor tables are stunning, and in the evening you can buy your fish straight off the boat and have it cooked to your liking.

  • 5. El Morocco Club

    $$$ | Kasbah

    In 1931, an American architect renovated a kasbah mansion and turned it into El Morocco Club. Today it's three venues in one: a sophisticated restaurant serving a fusion of Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine, a pretty café terrace, and a seductively lit piano bar. The restaurant menu features fare such as foie gras, seafood couscous, and lemon meringue pie. The café terrace, located under a century-old fig tree, offers more affordable salads and sandwiches and is an excellent choice for a leisurely lunch.

  • 6. La Perle d'Asilah

    $$$

    At Asilah's finest restaurant, the sophisticated menu is largely French, with a dash of Asian and Moroccan. A chalkboard highlights the daily specials—perhaps John Dory, crab, or roasted poussin (young chicken); there are great-value two- and three-course prix-fixe menus, too. Pair it with an excellent Moroccan wine or cocktail, and don't miss rounding off a meal with an irresistible dessert. Dine on the terrace in balmy weather; inside it's decorated in warm tones, with dark-wood furniture and white linen tablecloths.

    • Terrace dining
  • 7. Restaurant Blanco Riad

    $$

    Set within a jasmine-scented courtyard, this is one of the prettiest dining spots in the city. The food is equally as good as the setting, thanks to a menu of modern Moroccan cuisine featuring dishes such as orange, carrot, and saffron salad, and seafood cannelloni. Prices are reasonable, too.

    25, rue Zawiya Kadiria, Tetouan, Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco

  • 8. Saveurs de Poisson

    $$$ | Ville Nouvelle

    At this iconic, cash-only restaurant, the menu and the price are fixed, so just sit down and prepare to enjoy four courses, designed to be shared by the table. The main event is always the catch of the day—perhaps St. Pierre, dorado, or sole. The dessert might be strawberries (in season) with almonds, smothered in local honey. You'll be served special fruit juice, infused with flowers, cloves, and other secret ingredients, and a souvenir earthenware dish is usually part of the price.

  • 9. Café à l'Anglaise

    $$ | Medina

    The decor of this cute café-restaurant reflects Tangier’s mix of cultures. The chef only makes a handful of main dishes a day depending on market finds—perhaps briouates (small pastries stuffed with meat or cheese) or kebabs—and when they're gone, they're gone. Be sure to wash your meal down with a seasonal fresh juice. You can dine anywhere across the three floors, from the cozy ground floor to the relaxed roof terrace.

    $ | Medina

    Front-row seating can be had at the pavement tables of this café smack bang in the middle of the Petit Socco. It's a good place to catch your breath with a coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice and a crepe as you watch an intriguing cast of characters wander past.

    It's all about the bird's-eye views over the main square from the three-story riad's terraces here, as the food can be hit or miss. Tagines are the best bet, or stick to a mint tea and pastries.

  • 15. Chez Abdou

    $

    Open for lunch and dinner, this laid-back restaurant is difficult to find but well worth the search. Abdou himself, a rare and well-loved Tangier personality, serves up some of the freshest fish, simplest salads, and most perfect paella in the area. You can choose to sit indoors or at a table in the sandy maze of colorful and leafy outdoor spaces that lead out to a fine sandy beach sprinkled with tiny shells and beach umbrellas for hire. The best dishes here are the simply prepared fresh seafood plates. Take the first right about 30 feet after the rotary that puts you on Route de Rabat (N1) and at the near end of the Diplomatic Forest. If you see the Club de Tir, you've gone too far.

    This fabled café has been gracing a corner of the buzzy Place de France since 1927, and its brown leather seats, wood paneling, and mirrors galore will make you feel like you're back in the 1950s with William Burroughs (he wrote here) or in The Bourne Ultimatum (a scene was filmed here). The terrace is the perfect place to watch the world go by over an orange juice or café au lait.

  • 20. Hammadi

    $ | Medina

    Decorated in over-the-top Moroccan style, with banquettes covered with rich brocade and plump cushions, Hammadi (named after the affable owner) is never dull. Try traditional dishes such as the house pastilla (a meat pie), chicken tagine, or kefta (beef patties), along with a cup of freshly brewed mint tea. The place is definitely touristy, but it also has a certain local charm. There's always a live band playing traditional Andalusian music, and if you go for dinner, you can avoid the tour groups.
