  • 1. Café Clock Chefchaouen

    $

    The hugely popular Café Clock company has arrived in a cool blue riad in Chefchaouen. It comes with the same relaxed vibe as its counterparts in Fez and Marrakesh, as well as menu favorites like camel burger and a wide variety of fish dishes. It's much more than just your standard café, and offers fascinating cultural programs featuring Riffian artists and musicians.

  • 2. Dar Al Maghrebia

    $

    For authentic Moroccan cuisine at great-value prices, look no further than this small, family-run restaurant. Dine in the cozy salon or at one of the pavement tables, and choose from an array of brochettes, tagines, pastillas, and briouates (stuffed pastries).

  • 3. El Morocco Club

    $$$ | Kasbah

    In 1931, an American architect renovated a kasbah mansion and turned it into El Morocco Club. Today it's three venues in one: a sophisticated restaurant serving a fusion of Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisine, a pretty café terrace, and a seductively lit piano bar. The restaurant menu features fare such as foie gras, seafood couscous, and lemon meringue pie. The café terrace, located under a century-old fig tree, offers more affordable salads and sandwiches and is an excellent choice for a leisurely lunch.

  • 4. Restaurant Blanco Riad

    $$

    Set within a jasmine-scented courtyard, this is one of the prettiest dining spots in the city. The food is equally as good as the setting, thanks to a menu of modern Moroccan cuisine featuring dishes such as orange, carrot, and saffron salad, and seafood cannelloni. Prices are reasonable, too.

  • 5. Café à l'Anglaise

    $$ | Medina

    The decor of this cute café-restaurant reflects Tangier’s mix of cultures. The chef only makes a handful of main dishes a day depending on market finds—perhaps briouates (small pastries stuffed with meat or cheese) or kebabs—and when they're gone, they're gone. Be sure to wash your meal down with a seasonal fresh juice. You can dine anywhere across the three floors, from the cozy ground floor to the relaxed roof terrace.

  • 6. Café Centrale

    $ | Medina

    Front-row seating can be had at the pavement tables of this café smack bang in the middle of the Petit Socco. It's a good place to catch your breath with a coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice and a crepe as you watch an intriguing cast of characters wander past.

Waiters impressively deliver 16 steaming cups of sweet tea at a time, along with bowls of bissara (traditional pea soup).

  • 10. Casa Aladdin

    $

    It's all about the bird's-eye views over the main square from the three-story riad's terraces here, as the food can be hit or miss. Tagines are the best bet, or stick to a mint tea and pastries.

  • 11. Chez Abdou

    $

    Open for lunch and dinner, this laid-back restaurant is difficult to find but well worth the search. Abdou himself, a rare and well-loved Tangier personality, serves up some of the freshest fish, simplest salads, and most perfect paella in the area. You can choose to sit indoors or at a table in the sandy maze of colorful and leafy outdoor spaces that lead out to a fine sandy beach sprinkled with tiny shells and beach umbrellas for hire. The best dishes here are the simply prepared fresh seafood plates. Take the first right about 30 feet after the rotary that puts you on Route de Rabat (N1) and at the near end of the Diplomatic Forest. If you see the Club de Tir, you've gone too far.

Specialties include succulent mechoui (roasted lamb or mutton) and slow-cooked tagines, often served to a soundtrack of Andalusian music. The service is attentive, and the decor is classic Moroccan opulence.

  • 13. Gran Café de Paris

    $ | Ville Nouvelle

    This fabled café has been gracing a corner of the buzzy Place de France since 1927, and its brown leather seats, wood paneling, and mirrors galore will make you feel like you're back in the 1950s with William Burroughs (he wrote here) or in The Bourne Ultimatum (a scene was filmed here). The terrace is the perfect place to watch the world go by over an orange juice or café au lait.

  • 14. Hammadi

    $ | Medina

    Decorated in over-the-top Moroccan style, with banquettes covered with rich brocade and plump cushions, Hammadi (named after the affable owner) is never dull. Try traditional dishes such as the house pastilla (a meat pie), chicken tagine, or kefta (beef patties), along with a cup of freshly brewed mint tea. The place is definitely touristy, but it also has a certain local charm. There's always a live band playing traditional Andalusian music, and if you go for dinner, you can avoid the tour groups.

  • 15. Lala Mesouda

    $

    This great-value restaurant, with its carved-wood chairs, colorful banquettes, and bare stone walls, is one of the top choices in town for Moroccan dishes full of home-cooked flavor. House specialties include regional favorites such as bissara and hearty tagines, as well as plenty of options for vegetarians. If you're with a group, you can order lots of dishes and share them, family-style. And if you can’t find a table, head to owner Said’s second outpost, Beldi Bab Ssour.

  • 16. Oceano Casa Pépé

    $

    This small, well-located restaurant sits just outside Bab al-Kasaba, the medina's main gate. The current menu is overly expansive, but the fried fish is always a good choice. There's also a selection of tapas. It's dimly lit inside, so grab a pavement table.

    A great value and an always-busy restaurant, Beldi Bab Ssour is the best choice for Moroccan dishes full of home-cooked flavor. House specialties include regional favorites such as bisarra, goat tagines, and offal, as well as plenty of options for vegetarians. If you're with a group, you can order lots of dishes and share them, family-style. And if you can’t find a table, head to Said’s second outpost, Lala Mesouda on Avenue Hassan 1—it has exactly the same menu.

    Stop for lunch at this community center, whose name means "Our House," and you won't just enjoy a scrumptious home-style meal; you'll also be supporting local women and children in need. The traditional couscous served on Friday shouldn't be missed, especially when eaten in the sun-drenched, tiled patio. Don’t forget to check out the small on-site shop.

  • 19. Restaurant Nord-Pinus

    $$$$ | Kasbah

    Boasting an undeniably romantic ambience with intimate nooks, antique furniture, and sparkling stained-glass lights, this hotel restaurant serves traditional Moroccan dishes with a creative twist. The catch of the day is popular, along with dishes like chicken and olive tagine cooked over a wood fire. In fine weather, eat on the open-sided balcony overlooking the sea and out to Spain. It's worth having an alfresco pre- or postprandial drink on the terrace for the views alone.
