Scrummy Tagine - Edit
We were only in Essaouira overnight but we managed to eat here twice.
Read moreThe restaurant has a really laid back atmosphere as everything is cooked fresh from scratch so you have to sit back and relax.
The Prune and Green Bean Tagine is such a lovely crunchy change from the usual veggie tagines but make sure you mix the caramellised onions from the bottom with the rest of the dish to really bring out the flavour.
The Vegetable Cous-Cous is a huge portion of food with the lightest fluffiest cous-cous you can imagine.
The fresh apple juice is a meal in itself.
If you are in Essaouira make sure you search this place out, you will not be disappointed.

Loved the tajine :) - Edit
This is a lovely cosy restaurant off the main street on a nice quiet square. We liked it so much that we ate there twice on our short trip to Essaouira. The place is run just by one man, but he is really friendly, prepares the food from scratch from very fresh ingredients and the tajines we had were the best in Morocco!
Read moreThe portions are huge - > go for menu of the day - and you will not be disappointed.
We sat outside and enjoyed in sun (in January 2014) and it was nice to relax in a quite place in the madness of Morocco :)
The food was also very very cheap and we even liked the toilets there :)
Pros: Price, Tasty food, Friendly owner

Best tajines in Morocco! - Edit
This tiny restaurant serves Moroccan vegetarian food, offering many different variations that are usually not available in regular restaurants. To start, we ordered the harira soup, which was good, although it could have used a bit more spice/salt to round of the flavour. We ordered two tajines as entrees, one with green beans and prunes and the other chickpeas. The first few bites of the tajines seemed a bit bland, however the bottom layers were spiced perfectly, making these two of the best tasting tajines we've had in a month travelling through Morocco!

Cons: slow (if you're rushed) since it's fresh

good veggie Moroccan food - Edit
We didn't have high expectations going here since the food we'd had up to that point on our trip has been very unimaginative and bland. This place was different though as there was plenty to chose from for veggies and vegans alike.
Read moreThere was the usual veggie tajine and couscous dishes, but with a variety of ingredients and flavours including tajines with beans and lentils, which is not so common in our experience. All the food was freshly prepared in the small kitchen by the friendly owner who was happy to hear that we found him on HappyCow.
If you're in town, I'd say this is your best bet for Moroccan veggie food
Pros: friendly owner , freshly prepared, interesting variety

I struggled not to cry... - Edit
The place is a sympathetic one man business, but despite the fresh ingredients and an hour long waiting, the food was absolutely tasteless. Moroccan cuisine in general is nothing for spice lovers, but usually the food is edible with some milder tastes. This one was just horrible. Unless you really really love the taste of over cooked carrots and plain couscous, I strongly recommend anything else but this.
Read morePros: Fresh ingredients, English spoken
Cons: Tasteless, Small portions, Very slow

Delicious and organic - Edit
We arrived with anticipation, as had heard about this place, but all the lights were out.. They had lost electricity, but the guy welcomed us with open arms and said he was still open.
Read moreWe are so happy we chose to eat there, in candle light! Amazing lentil tanjine and the best olives I have eaten in morocco. Very impressed and portions almost big enough to share for 3.
Highly recommend, can't wait to return.
Pros: Quaint, Nicely decorated, Friendly helpful staff
Cons: Small

Really, really lovely! - Edit
We ate at several nice places in Essaouira and Marrakech, which did decent vegan food, but this was definitely our favourite. We were told that it was 'all fresh' and it definitely was! From the fresh veg and fruit smoothies to the tagines, it all seemed to be made there & then (we even saw the owner bringing veggies back from the market, then cooking them straight away for our food).
Read moreI had a tagine with preserved lemon and olives and it was delicious, we also kept getting brought lovely local bread to go with it (whenever we finished we were given more for free). It was also very relaxed - we sat there a long time each visit, and didn't feel hurried along at all. The food took a little while, as it was all cooked from scratch, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended if you want a fresh and tasty meal.
Pros: fresh, delicious, friendly, un-pushy staff
Cons: takes a little while (but worth it!)

Simple but nice - Edit
We found this restaurant easily, it's colourful and our waiter was friendly.
Read moreI had the daily special for 50DM, which consisted of a tomato salad starter and a choice of either vegetable cous cous or tagine for a main. I chose the cous cous. The portion was large with chunky vegetables but not much flavour.
Pros: friendly service, lots of choice, colourful decor
Cons: food lacked flavour

Best vegan food in Morocco - Edit
After several weeks of tagine and couscous of varying standards but often with the same ingredients this place offers a pleasant change. A wide range of vegan tagines, couscous and salads using fresh and varied ingredients all prepared in the small kitchen directly in front of you. Expect to wait a while for you meal as this is a one man show and the food is all prepared upon order. However, the restaurant is set in a quiet, sunny courtyard so we had no problem with the wait and the food was definitely worth waiting for.
Read morePros: fresh ingredients, wide variety of vegetables, great setting
Cons: none
