21. 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.

22. Le Mogadorien
$$$ | |Often overlooked in favor of the smaller, lounge-style restaurants farther along the street, Le Mogadorien has a similar menu but a lot more style, with decor that reflects Essaouira's Amazigh, Arab, Jewish, and Christian heritage and gives you a choice of low-slung Moroccan salon seats or regular chairs and tables. Chef Najiba prepares a range of Moroccan classics and local seafood. The vegetarian tagine features no less than eight vegetables; ask for it with tfaya (caramelized onions and raisins) for an authentic twist. Alcohol is not served.

23. Le Patio
$$$ | |Moroccan cooking comes with a twist at this French-run restaurant; for example, fish tagines are made with pears, apples, or prunes. The small tables are set around a large, starry lantern, and the deep-red walls, white muslin, and candles create a romantic atmosphere, although it's a little too dark for gazing into each other's eyes. There is a decent list of local wines.

24. Les Blancs
$$$$ | |At the edge of Agadir's trendy Marina district, Les Blancs is a shiny, white, modernist retreat serving colorful Spanish paellas, including black squid ink rice, green rice with veggies, and red king prawns. 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.

25. Let's Be Healing Food
$$$ | |Located in Tamraght, a small surf village 15 km (9 miles) north of Agadir, this oasis of mostly plant-based and wellness-oriented foods is an unconventional experience for Morocco. The bright space is decorated with traditional artifacts and plants, and the menu consists of vegan breakfasts, gluten-free pancakes and pizzas, rice bowls, and vegan and fish tacos with homemade harissa. Recently Ismael, the owner, has opened a second dining room and added meat dishes to the menu, reflecting his experiences traveling and living in Australia.

26. Little Italy
$$ | |One of the better choices among the many Moroccan-style Italian restaurants in the area, Little Italy is a little more subdued in decor and laid-back in style than others on the strip. You'll eat pasta and pizza surrounded by black-and-white photos and dark wooden banisters.

27. Platinium
$ | Quartier des Dunes |A few blocks east of the beach is one of the city's best cafés, where excellent salads, pasta, pizza, and meat and fish dishes are served all day. Breakfasts come in European or Moroccan style. During Ramadan, the ftour (the meal to break the fast) is particularly good value. Otherwise, just come by for a nous-nous (half milk, half coffee) and watch the world go by.

28. Restaurant Jnane Soussia
$$ | |This outdoor restaurant is a long-standing favorite for Moroccan families, offering great food and lots of space. Traditional cuisine is served under a caidal (white canvas) tent around two small swimming pools, in a garden full of orange, fig, and papaya trees and flowers. Weekending Moroccan families are drawn to the excellent specialties of the house, such as the briouates (phyllo pastry parcels) and mechoui (roasted shoulder of lamb, best ordered in advance). No alcohol is served. Non-Moroccan families with children should be advised that only girls under 12 are allowed to enjoy the swimming pool with the boys.

29. Restaurant L'Etoile du Sud
$$ | |Since 1968 the "Star of the South" has been dishing up ample servings of couscous and tagines in a red-velvet dining room or under a huge red-and-green velvet caidal tent. The harira is hearty and satisfying after a long day's drive, and there is plenty of parking. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cheery, with many tour agencies choosing this spot for their groups. The restaurant also serves alcohol.

30. Restaurant Laayoune
$$ | |The food here is simple, traditional, and tasty, but the atmosphere is particularly lovely, especially in the evening, when lights and candles bring the small space to life.

32. Riad Le Lieu Restaurant
$ | |Popular among the guests of local riads and hotels, Riad Le Lieu is a beacon in the dining scene of Tiznit. In a part of the former palace next door, chef Jihad prepares a range of Moroccan specialties, which are served on the patio and terraces; the rabbit and camel tagines are always great choices. The riad also runs a B&B, with simple rooms priced from 220 DH, so don't be surprised to see guests making their way to the shared bathroom.

35. Vague Bleue
$ | |One of Essaouira's best-kept secrets, this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant never fails to impress. Manager Brahim offers freshly prepared Italian mains (fish, chicken, and pasta), all served with a trio of salads and two juices to start. The ray with caper butter sauce is especially incredible. The place is tiny, so if you can't get in at first, come back later.
