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.
This restaurant located within a riad has stunning panoramic views from the rooftop terrace, along with delicious food. You'll find all the standard Moroccan dishes here, with a nice selection of well-portioned tagines.
This small but clean café and guesthouse is next door to the Kasbah Telouet parking lot and Ahmed, the owner, is very knowledgeable of Glaoui history and can organize tours of the surrounding area. He is also happy to sit and chat as well as feed you well for around 70 DH.
If you do not wish to take a tour, politely make this known toward the beginning of your conversation.
This rest stop has made more of an effort than most of the others on this route, with a high ceiling and traditionally decorated salon permeated by the unmistakable smell of real coffee. Take a late breakfast or a tagine on the terrace at the back, overlooking a small garden and poppy-dotted fields.
For only 60 DH, you can get a great meal here consisting of three courses made entirely by the family's mother. Go for a classic Moroccan salad (tomatoes and peppers) and a tagine of your choice and eat on the quaint platform overlooking the river. It's simple and very Moroccan.
