Essaouira: We are currently updating the list of local restaurants for each region.

For now in Essaouira look at the following.

Elizir: Rue de Agadir. The best place in town, not far from the main street. The entrance resembles a classy junkshop. The entire restaurant is decorated beautifully, a really uniqueplace. Oriental classics with an Italian flavour. The service is excellent. Doors open at 8pm and there may be queues.
Triskala Café: Rue Touahen.The décor; 60s furniture on the wall, multicolour lighting. Definitely not the type of place you would expect to find in Essaouira. The food is a mix of French and Moroccan. Rated no.2 on Tripadvisor.
Restaurant El-Minzah: You can eat outside on the terrace of this popular restaurant which faces the ramparts. The menu features a good selection of international dishes with a good selection of fish.
Restaurant Ferdaouss: Rue Abd Essalam Labadi. The food is unfussy and excellent. A delightful restaurant, that serves traditional Moroccan food, with an innovative take on traditional recipes.

Dar Meziana

Hammam

Dar Meziana

"This hotel is lovely overlooking the town. We had a gorgeous room at the top with a spectacular view and a little balcony. The bathroom was dear, also with a lovely view looking out. We had wonderful food a their separate restaurant, and the terrace breakfasts at the hotel were delicious. The staff were friendly and fun to talk to. You can't go wrong staying here."

Cathy from California, July 2013

"Dar Meziana is located at the top of the medina, a 3 minute walk up the hill from Bab Souk. May be a bit of a climb for some. The upper floor suite has great views of the medina below, especially nice in the late afternoon and when the sun first hits the medina in the morning. The dar has a distinctively Spanish influence with colorfully painted doors and windows. It could be a little kitschy for some, but with the warm sun shining though the large windows, it’s perfect. The pleasant terrace is decorated with potted plants and comfortable furniture."

Deb from Washington, May 2013

"This small guesthouse, with its lovely decor and helpful staff, made us feel right at home in the medina of Chefchaouen. If you arrive by taxi, ask the driver to take you to the Bab Souk arch, where you'll undoubtedly be spotted by small boys eager to lead you to Dar Meziana in exchange for a few dirhams. You'll be glad for help with your luggage, especially when you get to the steep narrow alley leading up to the hotel. When we arrived, Mourad welcomed us with a warm smile and mint tea. Throughout our five-day stay, we found Mourad to be especially friendly, helpful, and happy to practice his English (he also speaks Spanish in addition to his native Arabic)."
