Delicious!

We had morrocan soup and couscous. Everything was so so tasty. Prices are good and the place is run by a local sweet lady that cooks everything with love and care. Very recommended!

Best in Essaouira

The best restaurant in Essaouira!!! The menu is complete and the quality of the food is amazing. And the incredible part is when you look at the check: less than 120 diram for a full dinner for 2 people...the owner is a gentle lady who does everything, from cooking to serving, and she always has a nice smile.
I would recommended it to vegans/vegetarians and not as you won’t regret it.

Pros: Food is delicious, Great service, Quite location

Best place in Essaouira

I loved this place. The owner is so nice and her son too!
The food is fresh and amazing, the only vegan place in Essaouira. The tajine was the best one I tried after 10 days in Morocco. I totally recommend it! Please, do not miss it if you are there, you will regret it.

Best slow-food made with ❤️

What a lovely experience! We were here two nights in a row ... had to wait quite a while for the food - but WOW it was worth it! Super well prepared and tasty food cooked with love and lots of flavor! We had green salad, vegetable (pumpkin) soup and Lentil Tagine, Long Vegetable Tagine, Harira soup and a lovely filo pastry dish ... with complimentary beet/orange juice and all senses satisfied. Expect to sit for a while, as she makes everything from scratch, but bring a good companion or a book and I promise it will be worth it!

Pros: Well prepared food cooked with passion , Proper home-cooked style food, Very cheap compared to other places

Cons: Ultra slow food ;), Beware of [censored] seagulls!

Best, and cheapest, veggie place in town.

We tried all veggie places in Essaouira. This was, by far, the best of all of them. That is not to say it was great, because none of them are particularly great, but this one at least had the best food.......and it was, by far, the cheapest.

The woman who runs this place only speaks Arabic and French, but is a beautiful gentle soul with a shy smile always on her face...... unlike the vegan place (Darjeeling), right beside her, where the owner is a bit rude. She makes everything herself right there. Something I love to see and support. I'd definitely recommend making those six or seven more steps to.the right to this more hidden place to get the best, and cheapest, vegan meal in town. It is also in a great location, on a small square near the main street. And despite arriving quite late, she still politely served us without hurrying it's on. Lovely woman.

For us, it was one of the best vegan meals we had in our month stay in Morocco, only perhaps beaten by one in Casablanca. The falafels are some of the best that I've ever had and the juices were a good size.

I love to support these individually-run places, especially for such a nice woman who does everything herself.

Would highly recommend if in the location.

Pros: Best vegan food in town , Best prices in town , Run by lovely woman

Cons: More spice to soup

Not much flavor or taste

I visited this place twice in Essoauira, and judging by the reviews and pictures it seems the head chef must have been away on my visit. I speak a little French so it wasn't a problem ordering what I wanted from the lady in charge. The Lentil tagine was ok, but nothing out of this world. The vegetable cous cous was very simple, bland and had little taste or flavor. The Chickpea tangine was pretty much the same. I liked the juices, but the ginger & beetroot juice is just that and nothing added to make it sweeter.

ps if you go to a regular cafe in town you can get a delicious veggie burger with cheese & fries for 25D ;)

Pros: The juices

Cons: Waiting time for your food , Lack of flavour

Good food, excellent price

We had to search to find this restaurant, but it was worth it!
The food we ordered was moroccan salad, chickpea tagine/ chickpea couscous, with drinks of freshly squeezed lemon....168dhs about 16€ for two of us!
The food was good, not the creme de la creme....but good honest food.

Pros: Good honest food, owner spoke a little english., Cheap, Lovely freshly squeezed lemon drinks

Cons: Music from next door was loud ., We were the only clients ?

Calm & sincere vegan place in the heart of the Medina

We went there while visiting Essaouira in November 2017 with my sis. The owner is the cook himself, he is a very friendly and caretaking person. He offers all sorts of moroccan traditional meals, from Tagines, couscous, to salads and fresh juices... We arrived there in the evening, while searching for a place with Wifi (which is, by the way, available and pretty stable) I went for a menu for fifty dirhams only, containing a fresh beetroot juice and a chickpeas tajine. The served meals were generous and well flavoured. We highly recommend

Good vegetarian option

A nice little find in a little square off the street leading up to the city walls. Good quality 100% vegetarian with lots of vegan choices.

Charming host!

This place is something! Even though the menu of Le corail, which is basically right next to it, is much longer, we ended up here because it has such a nice charm to it and we didn't regret it! As other reviews stated already, everything's made from scratch, in our case the owner/cook/waiter - all in one - even sent someone to get some of the ingredients fresh from the souq. I loved that but if you're really short on time you should consider this. We had the lentil tajine and the tajine with green beans and prunes (it's around 40dh for the mains) and out of the two I would definitely recommend the second - finally something different than the usual vegetable tajine. Also I really enjoyed the beetroot juice, if you get the chance to try it, you should!

Pros: Best host, Everything is fresh, Yummy juices

Dont expect much

Was so happy to find an all vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Essaouira, so we didnt mind the long wait for our food to be ready. But when food came it was a big disappointment:(.. Too dull, no spices and almost no taste.. I would still recommend this place for sure, nice and cosy, lovely owner/server/chef but do not expect much from the food, pretty much average

Pros: location, central cosy, server/owner/chef, juices!

Cons: long wait for food, food, not so good

Nice place

We visited Essouira in winter 2015. I was surprised when found out that this place was very close to our Riad. The cafe was clean. The owner was friendly. food was good, although the service was slow.

What a pleasure!

This is a small business that delivers a big punch. Great veggie food. Great drinks. The avocado juice is outstanding. And the owner - running a one-man show - is incredibly hospitable.
