Must see. Best food in good portion you wont stay hungry, but it's very well cooked and tasty nonetheless. Very nice and welcoming service women, very beautiful inferior Design of the Restaurant, very cozy. There are fire candles and several cats, in my opinion very good for the Atmosphere. Big recommend, next time essaouria I will come back.

Great food from.a family run spot. The traditional Moroccan cous cous was great except the chicken in it was a dry.

The food is so good here we kept coming back, 4 times in fact, during our 9 night stay in Essaouira. It's like going to Granny's for a meal in the nicest possible way.

This family run restaurant was recommended to us by our local host. It offers delicious Moroccan cuisine and a magical atmosphere. The lentil soup was truly outstanding and the chicken tagine and couscous were delicious too.
