1. La Fromagerie
$$$$ | |A few miles outside town on the edge of thuya and olive groves, owner Abderrazak welcomes you warmly to his artisanal cheesery and open-air restaurant. Enjoy a fixed-menu lunch of salads topped with local goat- and sheep-milk cheeses, followed by (for nonvegetarians) a mechoui (lamb spit roast), and wine to complement. You'll find it hard to move after the feast.

2. Pure Passion
$$$$ | |The passion in the name of this sophisticated restaurant is for Mediterranean-style food made from fresh, local produce. This means lots of seafood and pasta dishes, but also steak and stunning desserts. The experience starts with a generous plate of bread, dips, and an amuse-bouche and is further flavored with an extensive list of local and foreign wines. You can choose a cozy corner in the interior, or sit in the covered outside terrace with views over the marina. They'll even send a free shuttle to pick you up from your hotel.

3. Riad Maryam Restaurant
$$$$ | |Taroudant's oldest family-run riad prides itself on its restaurant for good reason. While Habib greets the guests, his wife, Latifa, works wonders in the kitchen to produce a spread of salads, pastilla, tagines, or couscous fit for a king, not to mention the best pastilla du lait (a dessert of fine, crispy phyllo pastry layered with pastry crème) in town. Book in advance for lunch or dinner.

4. Taros
$$$$ | |This restaurant and bar with a Mediterranean menu is the place to be in the evenings. It's named after the wind that blows off the sea, which you can feel firsthand if you're having cocktails on the terrific rooftop terrace with views of the port. The menu includes seafood (try the Oualidia oysters when in season), hamburger, and roasted Camembert. At night a band or DJ plays on the roof to a hip crowd. On chillier evenings on the terrace, ask the staff for a poncho.

5. Umia
$$$$ | |Tucked away along the skala, this chic restaurant is a real treat, offering a daily changing menu—prepared in an open kitchen—that blends seasonal and local ingredients with French savoir faire. The airy restaurant draws in a clientele of expats and tourists with its muted dove grays, glossy white furniture, and quirky art touches, such as a gorgeous Gnaoua mural. Be sure to try the goat cheese from a women's co-op in nearby Meskala; you also can't miss the chocolate fondant with salted caramel ice cream.
22 bis, rue de la Skala, Essaouira, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco0524-78–33–95Known For

6. 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.

7. 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.
Rte. d'Agadir Km 1, Essaouira, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco0524-78–48–04Known For

- Fusion of flavors from Morocco, Asia, and Europe

8. La Scala
$$$$ | |At one of Agadir's finest fish restaurants, you can enjoy excellent quality seafood including lobster and John Dory; there's also a tasty duck breast for those who prefer meat. It's ideally located across from the beachfront strip of resort hotels. A free shuttle service is available for those staying farther away. The view from the terrace is decidedly uninteresting, so enjoy the atmosphere inside for a top-class dinner.

- Better atmosphere inside than on the terrace

9. La Table by Madada
$$$$ | |Occupying a former warehouse of the sultan's Jewish traders, this is one of three Madada brand businesses in Essaouira. The restaurant and bar offers fresh seafood prepared imaginatively and according to the seasons, such as a monkfish tagine with caramelized apples. You can also pop in to enjoy tapas and a cocktail. There is live music on the weekends. While pricier than other establishments in the area, Madada's enduring popularity with residents of the local upscale hotels proves it's worth every penny. Be sure to reserve a table ahead of time, especially in summer.

In addition to the contemporary indoor dining room, an informal bar-cum-restaurant with boardwalk-style flooring and huge windows overlooks the bay, as does the outdoor terrace with woven seagrass umbrellas.
