  • 1. Al Fassia Guéliz

    $$ | Guéliz

    Serving some of the best à la carte Moroccan food in the city, the affordable menu here includes tasty tagines, tender brochettes with saffron rice, couscous topped with caramelized onions, succulent tangia, and sweet-savory pigeon pastilla. There's an extensive choice of Moroccan wines, too. The restaurant can be noisy and crowded with slow service if there are large party bookings.

  • 2. Bistro Laaroussa

    $ | Fez el-Bali

    On Riad Laaroussa’s lovely roof terrace, you can indulge in your choice of two distinct dining experiences while enjoying stellar views over the medina. Opt for the bistro menu (lunch and dinner) and feast on Mediterranean-influenced dishes, perhaps seafood risotto and crème brûlée. In the evenings, you can reserve ahead for a classic, three-course Moroccan menu (280 DH)—think pastilla, tagines, and couscous. Dine under the stars in summer; in cooler months, the cozy salon has a log fire. Note that there are steep stairs to the terrace.

  • 3. Café Clock

    $

    Set in the heart of the medina, this crosscultural café is a Fez institution. It’s the perfect place to take a sightseeing break with a tea or mocktail, or a bite from the eclectic menu of Moroccan and international fare, like the justly famous camel burger; there are vegetarian-friendly options as well. Spread over two traditional dars, the Clock is much more than a café: if you want to learn to cook Moroccan cuisine, pick up some Moroccan Arabic, try your hand at calligraphy, listen to ancient storytelling, learn to play the oud, or have a henna tattoo, just check out its cultural workshops.

  • 6. Casa Jose

    $$ | Guéliz

    The Spanish-Moroccan chain, which has restaurants in Casablanca and Rabat, opened this location in 2016. Fresh fish is shipped in from Agadir or Casablanca each morning, and the authentic tapas selection includes classics such as tortillas, shrimp with garlic, patatas bravas, and the more adventurous Galician octopus. The well-chosen wine list includes mostly Moroccan and French wines, but there is a small selection of Marques de Riscal reds, whites, and rosés. There is a main restaurant, but the pleasant outdoor terrace has stools at the bar that are perfect for a quick informal tapas snack, and guests can drink alcohol on the terrace, which is unusual for Marrakesh. The atmosphere is lively and convivial in the evenings, but lunchtime is a more laid-back affair. Not much English is spoken so come prepared with your phrase book.

    Founded in 1928 as the town’s first store, gas station, post office, telephone booth, dance hall, and restaurant, Dimitri's is the fun and lively heart of Ouarzazate, and the food—whether Greek, Moroccan, or even Thai—is invariably excellent. The owners are friendly and helpful, and the signed photographs of legendary movie stars on the walls are sometimes enhanced by real stars at the next table.

    $$$

    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.

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.

    Set among gorgeous gardens and featuring a menu of local produce, Dar Zitoune is worth the visit from Taroudant.

Sit outside under citrus trees or inside in the large dining room and make the most of the opportunity to eat steak tartare or a Roquefort cheese–and-endive salad. The staff is courteous and speaks English well.  Reserve in advance, especially for special dishes such as couscous, mechoui (spit-roast lamb), or pastilla.

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.

Feast on meat or fish; vegetarians are well catered to with delicious quiches, soups, and salads. Eat alfresco in the garden or on the rooftop under the sun and stars, or in the brightly colored interior room with lots of creative decorative touches, including nods to the Biehns’ Provençal roots.  Cooking classes with the chef are available upon request.
