3 Best Restaurants in The Southern Atlantic Coast, Morocco

Caravane Café

$$$$

This popular, renovated riad filled with the artwork and collections of its host, artist Didier Spindler, offers an imaginative menu that is a fusion of Moroccan, European, and Asian flavors. The decor is an eclectic mix, with Buddha statues, pop art, and palm trees. There is nightly entertainment in the form of a band or fire eater, as well as a great wine list. The trio of desserts is the perfect sharing dish to conclude your meal (and often features more than three sweet delicacies).  It's recommended to make a reservation for dinner, particularly during peak tourist seasons.

Dar Caravane

$$$$
Set in beautiful gardens, Dar Caravane is a great choice for lunch and to escape the winds at the beach with a day by the pool. Like its sister restaurant (Caravane Café) in the town center, the menu fuses world flavors reflecting the travels of the owners, Didier and Jean-Paul. The menu is à la carte and the pool free to use, unlike many other similar properties, which charge a fixed price. There are also a few luxury suites for overnight stays, as well as a gallery, fashion boutique, and spa. Dinners can be arranged for groups and special occasions.

Let's Be Healing Food

$$$

Located in Tamraght, a small surf village 15 km (9 miles) north of Agadir, this oasis of mostly plant-based and wellness-oriented foods is an unconventional experience for Morocco. The bright space is decorated with traditional artifacts and plants, and the menu consists of vegan breakfasts, gluten-free pancakes and pizzas, rice bowls, and vegan and fish tacos with homemade harissa. Recently Ismael, the owner, has opened a second dining room and added meat dishes to the menu, reflecting his experiences traveling and living in Australia.
