The 19 best spots for croissants in Tangier

I recently visited Café Hafa in Tangier to try a local mint tea on a friend’s recommendation. The view was absolutely beautiful and the seating was very comfortable, even though the café was quite busy. Unfortunately, I did run into a small issue: when I paid the server, he mentioned he'd go get change but never returned. Even though it was a small amount, it left a bit of a negative impression. So my tip would be to try to pay the exact amount if you can, just to avoid any hassle. This might just be a one-off incident and not reflective of the entire establishment, but it does affect the overall reputation of the place.

Poorest service you can imagine after paying this much. But the view was perfect. I’d say don’t bother yourself if you live far from this place. Okay to come if you are living/passing nearby

Nice venues with wonderful views of the sea. Very touristic and busy. Shame that only few staff attend, mostly offering green tea to everybody but if you order something else (food or another drink) must wait for very long. In my case, we left after 45 minutes of waiting for couple of juices. We enjoyed the views though.

I visited Café Hafa in the old city of Tangier two weeks ago. The location is excellent, with a stunning view of the sea right in front and fresh, clean air. The drinks are very good, and the café has a unique and relaxing atmosphere. However, the prices are a bit high compared to other cafés in the area. The place was very crowded, and we only managed to get seats with some effort. Most of the visitors were tourists, but there were also locals enjoying the café. One downside is that there are no nearby parking options, which makes it slightly inconvenient if you are driving. Overall, despite the high prices and crowd, I really enjoyed the view and atmosphere, and it is definitely worth visiting if you are in Tangier.

Its definitely difficult when you are visiting a foreign place you have to be open to the unknown and adapt. The views are great here its actually immaculate . The cafe is located on a hill top in the old town of tangier I say go in and have a drink like tea or coffee but thats it. When we arrived we were able to sit anywhere but it seem like the waiters wete extremely disorganized no one bought us a menu when we asked in French they verbally told us they had nothing to offer other than omlettes that day so we went with it! When it arrived it was just scrambled eggs doused in oil and some bread and spam meat? I had asked for a peach juice as thats what was offered and they bought me a mango and orange puree anyway went with it but just giving a heads up you dont get a menu so you wont know the cost of things they verbally tell you the price. This place only takes cash no interac heads up! Just go for the views

Important point: Only accepts cash, no cards. Excellent view of the Mediterranean Sea. Lovely outdoor seating areas spread out across different sections. Food is below average but the mint tea is very good. Service is ok and you can see waiters running around up and down the stairs with huge trays of mint tea. While I was there at 5 pm, a very large group of about 60 Chinese tourists came in. Their guide or group leader kept talking to them in Chinese using a loudspeaker and ruined the entire atmosphere for everyone. They all had audio guides in their ears. So not sure why the cafe allowed such microphones/ loudspeakers.

Beautiful view from the cafe, no doubt. You get direct view towards the Strait of Gibraltar and if you're lucky, Tarifa (Spain) will be visible on the horizon. However, don't expect any service or greetings from the staff or anything. I entered the cafe and no one even offered menu or asked me to wait to be seated. The tables are full of people only drinking Moroccan Tea, I don't see any single person eating. I left without bothering to sit or wait.

I forgot to review this spot- went here last summer. The food was wonderful, and offers a modern take on traditional Moroccan cuisine. The flavours and presentation were sublime. A calming atmosphere and beautiful lighting. The service was great as well.

El Morocco club is an upscale venue in Tangier, easily located. You can either have a drink under the trees, on the main façade of the establishment, or book a table in the restaurant for lunch or dinner, or book a place at the piano bar. There are, therefore, three ways to appreciate this place. It has a menu of excellent alcoholic beverages, from wines, cocktails, beers and a selected dishes. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and they are very well served. I drank a glass of white wine and ordered a saffron risotto with prawns. My God, it was the best risotto I've eaten in my life! The staff are very kind, and at the end I was awarded a spectacular chocolate truffle. I highly recommend this place, and I add that it is necessary to make a reservation. Success to you all ✨

Can highly recommend this restaurant, we got to sit in our own room, amazing staff. Super cozy and great food. We really loved this place!

Even though we were on October, and just at start (19:30), the restaurant was fully booked. I'd tried to make a reservation in the afternoon, both via telephone and site, to no avail. It was the single restaurant in Tanger that we had this difficulty. And soon we knew the reason: the restaurant is really excellent! Given the fact that there were no tables available, the maitre suggested going to bar (1 level below) and dine there. The bar is a really small area, with very small round tables, suitable perfectly for a drink and some appetisers. Using them to eat is really an exercise of dexterity. But the good news is that it is possible, with the extreme assistance of really well trained and gentle waiters. Also speaking fluent Spanish was really helpful, although I overheard them speaking also in English and French. Anyway, my recomendation is choosing whatever you like or just follow the waiter indications, since everything is delicious and extremely well prepared. Oysters, lamb, crab, pasta, .... Finally, make a reservation at least one day in advance, and then enjoy this wonderful place in the first floor main dining room...

I had a disappointing experience while visiting with my family. There was an empty table available, but the staff refused to let us sit there, claiming it was reserved—although no one showed up for over an hour. I asked if we could use the table for just 30 minutes, but they still refused, seemingly because we were not foreigners. We were a group of seven and would have ordered more than many of the foreign guests who were seated without issue. This kind of discrimination is unacceptable. I do not recommend this club.

They have a small, formal dining room upstairs, and a charming Moroccan style speak easy downstairs. Downstairs is where you want to try to eat/drink. Smoking is allowed downstairs but it’s well ventilated. Downstairs is what makes this place special, but seating is limited, so get here early and specify you want to eat dinner downstairs. My wife had the lamb dish which she loved as it was sweet, and well presented. The lamb is a shredded layer topped with rice and sweet potatoes. I ordered the center cut stake with fries. My order of medium rare came out rare, so you might be better off ordering it medium if you want The steak to be seared on the outside and cooked to a warm red center with a hint of pink. Where it still has some firmness but is still juicy and tender. If you are looking for unique and special, it’s the speak easy (1920’s style bar) downstairs, the fine dining quality and presentation, and for a fairly reasonable price. We spent $120 for two beautiful main course meals, 1 wonderful desert, 3 beers, and two cocktails. Again, just make sure you get down into the speakeasy for that special charm you are looking for.

Had an excellent dinner! Food was finely presented & service was 5 stars! It’s what I would expect at a fine dining restaurant! We started off with a couple of drinks at the bar which had the most awesome vibe to it. They do a really good Negroni! We had the tuna tartare & the burrata in Taktouka to start. Both had a nice hint of Moroccan to it. Our mains were the John Dory fish in creamy saffron risotto & Chicken Pastilla. Fish was cooked to perfection, loved the lemon foam on top. Children Pastilla was probably the one item not on top of our list. For desserts, we tried the lemon meringue pie & creme brûlée with saffron - both amazing tasting! Also really enjoyed the wines - tried the rosé and a bottle of Moroccan white. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening there! Would have loved it if the live band was playing, I’m sure!

Very old international Tangier. My waiter spoke excellent Spanish. My guess is his French and English would have been equally good. Great place to relax over coffee in an interesting part of the town.

Came here on a weekend to try some local coffee and I was not disappointed. We were offered a table as soon as we walked in and the server was so lovely. He warmly welcomed us and offered to speak to us in our language of choice, which was so considerate. He also assisted with directions and was such a lovely man. The cappuccino was delicious and affordable, my only complaint is that i wish it was larger lol The fresh squeezed orange juice was also delicious. We did not feel rushed and had time to enjoy our drinks and chat while taking in the city. The ladies room is upstairs and is clean/spacious. Overall a great experience and I would visit again when in the area.

Staff are very friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is very laid back in a authentic cafe where you can people watch for a long time. Prices are reasonable and the place is clean and comfortable. Mix of locals and tourists alike.

The Gran Café de Paris is arguably the most famous of Tangier's estimated one thousand cafés. The other one is the outdoor Café Hafa, that overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar from its terraced cliff-side location on the Marshan. The Gran Café de Paris has been in this central location on the Place de France in downtown Tangier since it opened in 1927. At that time, the city had very few cars and the population was only 60,000. This café remains perennially popular with locals and tourists alike, with a loyal following of people, including Moroccan retirees who frequent the Café de Paris throughout the day, and many loyal expatriate residents rendezvous here regularly. Back in the 1950s, '60s and early '70s, up until "Morocanization" was enacted in 1974, Gran Café de Paris was also a bar and restaurant, and it served food and also beers, wines and cocktails. Today, the café still has its prominent location on the Boulevard Pasteur at Place de France, across from the French Consulate and just up Rue de la Liberté from El Minzah Hôtel. Café de Paris has been used as locations for scenes in the 2007 action-packed spy-thriller film "The Bourne Ultimatum" with Matt Damon, and also in the 1987 James Bond film "The Living Daylights" starring Timothy Dalton. The Moroccan owners have avoided upgrading the interior toilets, and the tablecloths are in need of replacement. The chocolate colored chairs are not leather but imitation vinyl, and they are not very comfortable. The ambiance is from the 1950s or earlier. If you need ice cubes to make your drink cold, they usually don't have any. The Gran Café de Paris is an institution and landmark in Tangier. I hope it survives for decades to come. Nearly everyone who lives in the city has been here at least once, and many tourists make it a point to visit the Gran Café de Paris as well. Most of the waiters and the cashier are friendly, and the service at this café is usually prompt. My waiters and the employees all call me by my first name, and they know what coffee I prefer. One waiter I know has worked at the café for 40 years. Wi-Fi for portable telephones and small tablets such as an iPad or Samsung device may be used if you are able to get the pass code from your waiter or the cashier. But the signal is often too unreliable and weak. Don't miss sitting inside or outside at the Gran Café de Paris. There are three distinct inside areas, but most tourists avoid the lower level down a few steps from the circular area near the cashier since it is always crowded with local Moroccans who sit for hours chatting with each other while often watching a large flat-screen television. Inside the Gran Café de Paris there is a circular seating area with non-working marble fountain shaped like a palm tree. In this round room is a large flatscreen television to watch sports, news and other programs. The stairway in this round room takes you upstairs to the women’s toilet and powder room. The round room has a prayer room, and the men's toilet is nearby. The main room has dark green marble trim where it leads into the circular room and toilets. There are large glass exterior windows and double doors. The floors are also marble. There are reasonably comfortable seats and both round and square tables with old brown vinyl upholstering on the curved-back chairs and ancient green or brown velvet table-cloths. From this large room you have panoramic views of the flow of passers-by on the Place de France with its circular fountain and the imposing French Consulate across the street. In August 2023, the menu prices were increased. A cafe now costs 11 DH and a glass of orange juice was raised to 18 DH from 15 DH. Similar increases were made on omlettes and other food items. The WiFi is occasionally weak and does not always work well, particularly when the television is on. The owners of the cafe should get fiber optic. The television should be removed from the main front room. The sedate charm and ambiance is ruined by the TV and the outside LED lights are too bright and need to be dimmed.

Visited several times during my three day stay in Tangier. Absolutely wonderful. Full of old world charm. Enjoyed reading here for hours over great coffee. The waiters are fantastic. Highly recommend

It truly feels like one is sitting in a Parisian cafe but with cheaper prices. One can enjoy a nice snack or drink anytime throughout the day with friendly servers in a rustic atmosphere. The only downside is that people are allowed to smoke cigarettes INSIDE and outside, which makes it difficult to enjoy one's snack when there's the constant smell of cigarettes. Note that they only take cash, not card.

Famous café for famous writers in history. I came here because Korean TV program introduced here. It says that many famous wtiters write their book in this café. Usually other famous places waiters are tired of customers but here all workers are very friendly and kind 😃.

Had several meals here, all were tasty & served without delay. Although there is no smoking inside, customers do smoke outside & some of that smoke drifts in, though it’s not noticeable unless sat near an open window. .

This place was recommended to us by some local guy. We went there and sat on the terrace outside, where there was a lot of movement by local people and some amusement. This was nice. There were unfortunately more things that weren't nice, at all! The first thing was the part where my friend, who ate the fish tagine, got sick a couple of hours later. And not just like a stomach ache, no, real food poisoning with all the bells and whistles included. We'll spare you the details. But she had to cancel her trip the day after and couldn't sleep at all that night. It was horror. The other thing that was quite annoying, was that a lot of people, young kids mostly, come to your table to sell you something or ask for money. We're just trying to have dinner/enjoy the night.. Just leave people be please. The staff never told them to go away, they just let it happen. Long story short; don't come here if you don't want to get seriously sick or bothered. Thank us later. Adios!

I'm surprised that this place has only 3.8 star ratings... I looked at the lowest reviews and now it is very clear why: people are complaining about the food quality and long wait time. Obviously there will be some adjustments you need to make if you are going to cafeteria to eat dinner, their specialty is at drinks and puddings with some extend to hot meals. But iny opinion it is a perfect spot for small refreshments. Prime location Beautiful place, nice interior, Big space Good service Big variety of drinks and desserts Staff very professional We had: * Mint tea * Crêpe with bananas and sauce * Cheesecake * Pinacolada * Fruit cocktail It was one of the best baked cheesecake I had outside. Served cold with hot chocolate sauce and fruits Cheesecake was not too sweet so the sauce was really balancing and complementing the taste. Mint tea also nice, not too strong. Cocktails were huge so make sure you have the space and craving to finish it Definitely recommend it for a tea and pudding. Not sure about food. I see lots of people having their dinner now and they seems to enjoy it

The historically popular Café Central! Grab a seat where/when/if you can! Come with patience; the waitstaff are constantly speeding around, but are helpful and friendly when you flag them down. The food was enjoyable (vegetarian options available) and didn't take as long as I'd thought it would. Make sure to get a seat outside facing the street, as it's a prime location for people-watching and street performers (some really good! Others not so much). Wasn't a fan of the smoke, but that's Tangier.

The only place in Tangier that sells couscous when it's not friday. Also, the fastest service we experienced and everyone was very polite. The couscous was 100% worth it!

As a local I never really ordered food here because I assumed it was just some overpriced touristy restaurant. To my suprise the food is actually really good. I ordered a bit of everything and can say I’m really impressed. The only downside is service can be a bit slow at times.

I waited 25 minutes for my lime mojito... Instead of telling there was an issue with the ice machine, they ignored me for 25 minutes. I should have just left, but being a nice person, I waited to catch the waiter's eyes (as he kept avoiding my table) so I could tell him to forget about my order. They finally brought it to me. I asked for not too sweet -- obvisouly it was as sweet as a 3:1 sugar syrup and bloody sprinkled with icing sugar 🥴

A beautiful establishment with delicious French-Moroccan cuisine made with all fresh ingredients and passion. Ideal place for morning coffee or dinner. The lady who runs this cafe is lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend to give it a chance. It’s significantly better than most places on the street with higher google rates and deserves much more attention in this foodies opinion.

This establishment offers a distinctive dining experience. While its exterior may not immediately capture the attention of passersby, it was recommended through my wife's AI search. The staff provides a welcoming service and is adept at accommodating linguistic differences. The ambiance is remarkably serene, evoking the atmosphere of a private residence rather than a typical restaurant. The rooftop location provides a pleasant setting with a refreshing breeze. We sampled the Samoussa and the fried skewered chicken. Although the Samoussa could be improved with more seasoning, its overall flavor was acceptable. The Coca-Cola had a unique taste and was served at a cool temperature, rather than chilled. The chicken was prepared with local spices and fried, resulting in a unique and enjoyable flavor profile. The bread offered a familiar taste. This small, unique establishment provides a surprising culinary experience. I would consider a return visit if the opportunity arises. On a side note they don't take credit cards. Cash only

Charmingly decorated, petite cafe with lovely staff. Menu offers assorted coffees, tea, and juices as well as lunch/brunch foods. A perfect place for people watching as the locals walk by, returning from their shopping on Rue de la Kasbah. We particularly enjoyed the detox juice which includes fresh ginger and lemon, as well as the Italian Coffee brewed and served in an authentic Moka Pot. The cafe's eclectic mix of cups and saucers is also delightful. The cafe also remain opens during Ramadan, making it one of the few locations in Tangier where tourists can sit and eat during the day. Also, I don't know about you, but drinking from a vintage teacup makes a cafe experience so much more lovely. If you feel the same, this is the place for you!

Cute place with very delicious food. Service is prompt and they will go out of their way to accommodate you. Fresh fruit juice is a nice starter. Will definitely come back for another meal here.

Went for breakfast. Omelette was nice, real orange juice and a mint tea with sugar on the side was fantastic to let you sweeten it to your liking. Waitress was nice, but what really bothered me was the cook who did not aknowledged my smiles and my thanks. She did not look at me once, looked bored and bothered to do her job, and it's just insulting. I then realized she had one earbud on. But really, don't do customer service if you act like you're above it all. Really disappointed.

After my wife and I (born and raised in Morocco) have re-discovered Tangier through the film "only lovers left alive” by Jim Jarmush (couple of scenes were taken in this beautiful city), we became aware by chance on our way to Kasabah on L'anglaise and had a very good diner back in the days 2014. Today I came here for the 6th time and ate kefta (ground beef) with pickled peppers and tomatoes. The food melts in your mouth like butter. Typical Mediterranean / Moroccan cuisine with healthy meat / vegetable combinations rounded by its simplicity. I definitely recommend this piece of art cuisine. The location is decorated so carefully and artistically that you feel like you are in a museum. Imagine that, good food and cultural heritage at the same time.

Original vegan tajine, rooftop terrace, warm and welcoming service. This was the best place I have eaten in Tangier or in Morocco for that matter. I can also truly say that 'a l'anglaise' is vegetarian or vegan-friendly. You can eat a vegetarian tajine anywhere, but much less effort and care is usually put into those dishes. This cute family business welcomes you with a lovely mother and her daughters in a carefully decorated and cozy living room setting. The girls speak perfect English and are more than happy to have a friendly chat and give you some recommendations on what to do in the area. One of the best things about this place is the lovely rooftop terrace. There is an inside as well as an outside part to accommodate you despite the weather conditions. They have a good wifi connection-which can be hard to find-although it does not reach the rooftop. Now the food; it was pricier than at other places. We paid two or three times as much. But it has not been easy to find Moroccan food with a twist. As a vegan, my options are either vegetarian tajine or couscous. This becomes boring quite quickly because it is always prepared with the same vegetables (carrots, zucchini, potato) and prepared with much less care than this beautiful creation. I ordered a vegan tajine and got a beautifully presented artichoke tajine with leek and legumes. On the side I ordered some delicious vegan spinach samosas on a bed of mint leaves. All of this with freshly squeezed orange juice of course. Pros: - original vegetarian tajine - understood veganism - speak fluent English - friendly service - rooftop terrace - good wifi connection Cons: - wifi did not reach rooftop - pricier than other restaurants

absolutely one of our favorite meals in tangier! majid and the entire staff were so kind, the service was excellent. all of the dishes we tried were perfectly balanced and delicious. wish we discovered Alma before our last night in town! would highly recommend!!

Everything about Alma Kitchen & Coffee is so lovely--from the beautiful interior, attentive service, to the menu. It has a relaxed, classy atmosphere. My husband and I came for an early dinner today and had a wonderful meal. Excellent winter salad, fish tacos, and chicken Thai ciabatta sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. Even the excellent genmaicha tea was lovely at the end of our meal. Staff is very nice and professional. They even have a small, stylish gift shop where I bought a tote bag which will be a special keepsake from Tanger. Many thanks! ✨ *I also want to sincerely apologize because I meant to tip the staff for their wonderful service and I am so sorry I forgot while getting the bag...

We had a great lunch in Tangier. The place has a lovely atmosphere and the music was perfect. We tried the vegetarian ravioli with nuts and basil, the smokey aubergine, and the vegan keftah. Everything was delicious. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Definitely a great spot

Beautiful spot, airy with lots of natural light, seating on two levels inside and also out front. The potato appetizer is amazing. Fried olives, eggplant appetizer, basically everything I tried was delicious. Staff is lovely. The chai latte was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

Juices here are exceptional, and the coffee smells great, so I'll definitely be back for that soon. Cakes were great, but prices are on the higher-side of Tangier as most of the food is artisan-styled. There is an area upstairs for working with laptops if needed. I went midafternoon in the week and it was starting to get busy, but there are plenty of seats.

Best place for veggie Food and coffee in tangier - the service is excellent, the details are great, the meals are so tasty and the ben the music choice is great. We had a wonderful time. Try the no-meat balls tajine! Also the V60 coffee is fantastic. Go, check it out

We really enjoyed this place. The food was really good, it was quite clean and they were quick to serve us when we arrived for supper at 7:00 p.m., which I guess is early for Tangier! The pulled pork dish was great and so were the sandwiches that our friends got. It was interesting to see that they have a bunch of gluten-free and vegan options.

One of the best rooftops in Tangier Café Baba, located in the heart of the old Medina, offers an exceptional experience from morning to sunset and even at night. The rooftop view is stunning, creating a calm and authentic atmosphere that captures the spirit of Tangier. The tea is among the best in Morocco rich in flavor and tradition. The service team is friendly and professional, making every visit pleasant. A perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy great tea, a relaxing ambiance, and beautiful views over the city. A true gem in Tangier.

I visited the famous Café Baba because of Anthony Bourdain, and it had a very relaxed atmosphere. The waiters were friendly and welcoming, and I enjoyed my mint tea and cigarette with views of the medina in front of me.

Thanks god Cafe Baba still exist. They should be honoured with a Rockn Roll Hall of Fame Life Time achievement award! Coffee is 1€, Mint tea is 1€, Smoking 0,5 € 💥

I had to come here as an homage to the late Anthony Bourdain! The mint tea was amazing! Views were great and the vibe feels historic!

Café Baba in the Medina of Tangier, Morocco, was a favorite haunt of the Rolling Stones in 1966-1967. Parts of the 2012 Jim Jarmusch movie "Only lovers left alive" were filmed here.

Exactly how you want it to be, peaceful chilled vibes, great views and extremely welcoming. I was made to feel like family. The history and legacy of of the place just adds to experience

Nice café with a lot of history. Unfortunately the waiter tried to cheat me with the change. When I let him know he didn’t apologise ( as you would expect if it was a genuine mistake) but acted like he knew and it was intentional… It’s a shame that amazing places like this are let down by employees that don’t care and just seek to make a few extra dirhams out of tourists….

One of the iconic cafes in Tangier. I liked the natural mint tea as they do in Morocco and the fact that they did it without sugar. However, I did not like that they put 2 bottles of water without ordering them that they charge 5 dirhams later on for each. Just inform customers of this and they will not feel you try to scam them. Other than that the cafe is at a nice plaza where a lot happens so you can just chill there for a while

In the hub of the tourist-trap that is the Medina these days, a fading aftertaste of Café Tingis', and thereby Tangier's, iconic past still lingers, just about. Haunted by a selection of regulars, many quite interesting, the smell of hashish, mint, and sweet honey fill the air. One of the few places I, as a non-local, wasn't over-charged as standard practice too, which is notable. Grab a cup, share a conversation or two with the local folks on neighbouring tables, and watch the world pass by.

This place brings you back in time like 50 years. Old fashion venue, staff and system. The bill on a piece of paper handwritten. One of the things I would remark is the lack of cleaning on the crockery. Glasses had dirt from the beginning of the times. Besides that, very touristic place.

The place has quite a history to it. And a certain subtle vibe, which takes some time to sense. The Moroccan tea and pancakes didn't taste any different, yet we went here every day during our stay in Tangier.

Really nice spot to people watch. We all had a light breakfast which was delicious. The staff were friendly. Slightly random accounting for the food prices but it was still cheap so wasn’t too worried. I think it was 5-10MAD more than what we added up for the price.

Famous old cafe in Tangier town center. Very relaxing and you can drink tea and see the locals going on about their own business

Impressive coffee shop in the heart of Tangier old city Very friendly staff with many things to eat and drink , so affordable for the quality, service and location. The area is so vibrant, you can spend easily 3-4 hours just enjoying the street performers Love it … for sure to come again

During our visit, we ordered two Moroccan salads and two kafta skewers. We were served both salads and only one kafta skewer. We thought the second one was coming, but it never did. When we decided we'd had enough of waiting and decided we wanted to pay & leave the waiter told us we should have reminded him about the second skewer. We told him it wasn't our responsibility to tell him how to do his job. He had clearly repeated our order, which did include two skewers, yet he challenged us, claiming we hadn't ordered the second one. The waiter started blaming us. He was using a tablet to take the order and had indeed confirmed both dishes of each. This experience was very frustrating. We will never return. Now we understand why the neighboring restaurant had a long line up!

Delicious dinner, typical moroccan dishes, kindly and fully welcomed by the great waiter of this place! We ordered a tasty chicken tajine with almonds and honey - superb! Then chicken pastilla also good and the cous cous with vegetables, (big portion for a single dish!). Highly recommended both for the food and the location, a fully Moroccan experience! Thanks!

The vegetable tajine was delicious! Never knew steamed veggies could taste that good. Mint tea with Moroccan treats as desert was also great. And the waiter was very cheerful and friendly. Also beautiful design and ambience in the restaurant.

Amazing!! Our dinner was delicious, very nice atmosphere and kind ladies. The pastilla and tajine were 10/10!!!!

The best place for Moroccan cuisine! The staff are very friendly and the interior is very beautiful. Atmosphere made me feel comfortable and at ease. We had the tagine, which was delicious! Would definitely come back!

A very nice Moroccan restaurant with Moroccan vibes & live music , the staff are so nice , the food was delicious especially tajines , the place feels like a Moroccan house , the prices are between 30-80 DH , unfortunately bastilla wasn’t available we took barbecue & tajines , barbecue wasn’t good as much as the tajines.

Ok! If you are super hungry and NEED food right away, this is NOT the place for you. There is one or two servers at best and they are 2 people in the kitchen. I totally love this place, I went here 4 times, my travel partner did not like this place. It is slow, slow because they are trying to do their best. The orders are not written down and sometimes they forget your order. The first time I went there I wanted a Moroccan salad, they did not have it so they served me a side salad. See photos. The tajine, all of them were good. I love the one with the beef. They have a dish that you have to preorder a day earlier and I always forgot to do it. It is at the bottom of the menu, try it but that means you have to order 1 day earlier. The food was good, they serve slow but with love. The 2 old men playing music, love them both. I will go back again. That side salad, they charged me for side salad, they do not overcharge, if you have a concern just point it out. The two young owners at the register were so cool, their recommendations were spot on. Sitting outside is fun until the people next to you start smoking Last meal there, we found two olive pits in the bottom of our olive container. My travel Partner says that this was a used container and those were pits from somebody who ate olives and put the pits back in the container. I asked the owner, she said that the pits were from the olive container, some olives come off the pit. I know that it is a custom that they use left over bread and add more bread and serve that bread to the next customer. I feel that the olive pits were used discarded pits as well. I believe and agree with my travel partner. Will I go back? Yes. Will I eat olives there? No!

Very nice restaurant in the Medina! I would skip the desert though. There are loads of patisserie around! Recommend that. The tagine lamb was delicious but the strong taste of the lamb may be too much for some. It didn’t bother me. There are loads of different options in this restaurant.

We traveled from England and as we made our way through the market we found Dar Harruch. The servers were very welcoming and always made sure we were having a great time. Food was lovely, was nice to finally try some proper Moroccan food. We really enjoyed our experience, our waiter showed us some traditional hats and let us try them on. -great food -great service -Staff were great with the kids Definitely recommend

As a regular Google Maps location user and contributor, I love discovering other places that have been highly rated by other users. Dar Harruch is one of them. We came to Tangier from Spain and wanted yummy authentic Maghribi food for our family of 5 as a celebration. And we were not disappointed. The service was excellent (we came in April 2025) and the food was superb! Nothing to complain about only big smiles and happy tummy. Would love to come back next time we are in Tangier.

Excellent service by Saed. The food is hot and flavoursome. The service very attentive and they take card which is great. The soup, lemon tart, tagines and pastille are great and the fresh orange juice lovely. Came here twice.

Cozy streetside spot. Friendly faces. Soulful food. I had the traditional lamb couscous - perfectly spiced, The staff - very nice, genuine and welcoming. Bonus: they accept card payments (rare find in the old medina).

Had just arrived in Tangier when I stumbled upon this lovely little restaurant in the Medina. Ordered the Lamb Tagine and Lemon Tart and I would have to say it was the best meal I have had in Morocco so far. The service was impeccable and it had such a fun vibe. Would highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed 😋

As a food blogger, I had been searching all of Morocco for these flavours (most of which were weak, at best) and I finally found them here at Dar Harruch. Everything from the harissa, to wasabi to the chicken and olive tagine was incredible and I will probably eat every meal here now. 🙈 The servers are genuinely sweet and kind and I felt the true Moroccan hospitality (also made some new friends while eating 🥰). Saeed, my server was the best, so welcoming 🙏🏽

We went there twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Contrary to other experiences, the service was good. The waiter even typed in the WiFi password. Both times we had the same server and he was obviously happy to see us returning. Especially the breakfast was very nice.

We paid 110dh for two coffees and a smoothie, the smoothie was even not mixed properly I had to take it back to the kitchen. I gave 120dh in cash, and the waiter simply did not want to give back the 10dh change, I had to insist. Service is painfully slow, and the quality is nowhere near what you would expect from a Paul. When I asked to pay by card, the waiter claimed they didn’t have a payment terminal, even though there clearly is one on-site. On top of that, we were never given a receipt. Overall, the experience felt dishonest and far below the brand’s usual standards.

A pitiful cafe experience, falling short of any sophistication it claims to promote. Unprofessional staff, lacking respect and efficiency in service. Orange juice resembling tap water with an artificial orange tint. Tasteless tea. A view overlooking a car garage – nauseating and amusing. A horrendous experience I wouldn't wish to repeat. Desserts with decent taste but overly priced. Not recommended.

This is our go-to bakery. We go here whenever we want bread or pastries. It's a chain restaurant so it may differ depending on which one you go but the one in Casa, Tangier, and Mohammedia are pretty good. I'd say the only bread that would top this is your local handmade, bakery in Italy or France.

The service is incredibly slow. Just for breakfast waiting more than 1 hour. For order also waited more than 30 min. Already passed extra 15 min. Still waiting breakfast. Aprx 2 hours waiting for a breakfast

Good selection of cakes especially the Coffee Cake and Opera. Great coffee. Needs A LOT of improvement and training of service staff on rendering timely service and attention to customer needs.

I came with my family to have breakfast we waited almost half an hour no approach us the guest also are complaining about the service delay so we divided to move to the next coffee shop La fuga. Honestly this is not Paul standard.

I was told that this place created the best pizzas in Tangier. Every time I passed the cafe I was thinking of pizza. Well today I popped in to try their famous pizza. Mmmm, I should have stayed at home. I’m shocked that they even thought they could serve what came from the kitchen. The pizza wasn’t just well done, it was burnt!!! I ordered the bolognaise pizza, the only bolognaise ingredient was minced beef, chef needs a holiday in Italy. Disappointed!

The restaurant is a bit pricey for Morocco, but the food is good. Has a nice interior and there is plenty of tv’s to watch football matches which are usually on.

Food is okay. The entire space reeks of cigarettes, and the smell was so strong even if we were seated in a non-smoking area. Our waiter was super rude and not helpful at all.

The food was OK. Although it has a dedicated kids area, it needs to equip itself with better items for kids to keep them entertained. The TV should have cartoons instead of Moroccan channel football. Nevertheless, it is a good place if you want some peace of mind with comfy chairs.

The breakfast meals are overpriced and really disappointing

For me i order herbal tea it was not good, i didn't finish the 1st glass, but for the lady her order was king smoothie it was drinkable. Ps: After redecorating they lost their taste and price got higher, the manager should think again.

I have good experience to have dinner and lunch here. The price reasonable and big portion

Good atmosphere for breakfast. Fast and efficient service. Waiters are multilingual, no worries for your order. A rich variety of breakfasts proposed from 4 euro to 10 euro. We enjoyed it a lot!

The name of this café is ‘Madison’ and it’s near the City centre shopping mall. It's a quite and large place and in fact had much more facilities than a conventional party centre. they have a nice food and drinks ..and its very quiet especially in the morning...

This is in regards to the Bakery. It was a Bad service, not once, but all the time. Arrogant women servind the people slowly and with frowning faces. Extremely SLOW. Had to leave after waiting there forever. When I told them that servuce is slow they started ridiculing my note. Then I left the bakery. Will never go there again. Dr. Ramsi

Nice place, but a really bad service, waiter tried to scam me and my friends!

Great place for breakfast before heading into town!

Delicious breakfast, excellent service, and a nice, quiet place.

Very poor service. Ok food

Great view, chill vibe. Prices are reasonable and the food is okay. My waiter did ask for my number and was pretty insistent on getting my contact information, which wasn't professional and made me a little uncomfortable

Beautifully decorated and superb views. The staff were a bit sullen faced , not at all cheerful and welcoming, perhaps they should employ some younger staff. Breakfast was ok, hence the 3 stars. The chairs are very uncomfortable, the posture you have to hold is not conducive to sitting for long, maybe that is what management wants. I ate my food and left after a few minutes and chose a different cafe to spend my money and time.

Good food but the waiter took my change without my permission i was in chocked very rude action taking someone money in that way

Cafe La Giralda is located on the first floor in the Maersk building on the Boulevard Pasteur, and it offers a fantastic view of the ocean and port from its large plate-glass windows. The place is perhaps best for special occasions as it is a bit more money than other nearby boulevard cafes, yet it is worth patronizing for the view. Personally I think the decor is a bit much, with lots of gold and intricately plastered ceiling, but this is part of its charm. The service is good and it is never really crowded, nor is it noisy, and there is no street noise. During the summer it is air-conditioned, and there is also WiFi.

Very bad service, the bartender was not nice at all. We weren't allowed to use laptops for no reason even we wanted to get some things done and enjoy the view. Having such view must come with a good service and a nice staff.

Upper class atmosphere with excellent service. Hot chocolate with cream is all we tasted but very classy presentation and delicious taste

A good place but gets truly crowded and noisy in the evenings

I highly recommend this experience! I’m writing this review after returning home from Morocco, where I learned how to make tagine, bread and Moroccan tea at Blue Door. I recreated the dish for my wife, who wasn’t with me in Tangier, and she was absolutely impressed! The hosts at Blue Door were perfect—knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about both Moroccan cuisine and culture. They shared insights that went beyond just the cooking. It’s often said that meaningful travel is about connecting with people and places beyond the typical tourist experience. The time we spent at Blue Door provided unforgettable memories, not just because of the food, but because of the people. A truly enriching experience!

What an amazing walking tour of the old city. Then we learned how to make Moroccan bread, tea and chicken. The young ladies that taught the class were wonderful! This tour exceeded all of our expectations! The food was great by the way! Would recommend to family and friends!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Wonderful Moroccan Cooking Experience! While traveling through Morocco, we wanted something a bit different—and Blue Door Cuisine in Tangier delivered far beyond expectations. The owner, Tim, met us in the local market, where we explored fresh ingredients and colorful spices while learning about Moroccan cooking traditions. Afterward, we walked to the Blue Door kitchen, a beautiful space where three delightful women welcomed us with a traditional Moroccan mint tea ceremony. They patiently guided us, step-by-step, through preparing a classic chicken tagine from scratch. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and sat down to enjoy the most delicious lunch we’d had in Morocco. Everything about the experience—from the warm hospitality to the hands-on cooking—was top-notch. It’s a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and genuine Moroccan warmth. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tangier!

This cooking class, on October 4, was definitely a highlight of our Morocco trip. It was everything we wanted and SO much more. We made bread and chicken Tagine. While we waited for everything to cook we learned the art of making Moroccan tea and chatted with the 3 young ladies who were our instructors. We learned a great deal about Moroccan food, culture, and traditions. Their English was excellent so we were able to communicate easily. Their warmth and kindness was evident in everything they did. We ate our meal with these delightful young ladies when it was finished cooking and got to know each other even more. The chicken Tagine was excellent, and I am very excited to make it at home. I will always remember my time at Blue Door Cuisine with fondness.💕

I had the pleasure of taking part in a cooking class recently at Blue door Tangier and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly, passionate, and highly professional team. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, which made it easy to enjoy every moment. The recipes were clearly explained, suitable for all skill levels, and most importantly delicious! I learned several techniques that I’ll definitely be using at home. A huge thank you to the entire staff! Their patience, sense of humor, and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. You can really feel their love for food and their passion for teaching. I highly recommend this class 👏 whether you’re looking to learn something new about Moroccan cuisine, have a great time, or give a thoughtful gift. It was a truly delightful and memorable experience! by Niss ☺️

The highlight of my cruise was this amazing cooking class . My friend and I totally enjoyed an authentic taste of Morocco with wonderful women who shared their knowledge and skills with us helping us to make a wonderful dish that I will also make at home. The staff were so warm and generous , I highly recommend these classes even if you think you can’t cook

This is definitely a must do if you visit Tangier! Tim and his staff create such an inviting experience that we keep coming back. You learn not only about Moroccan culture but also will have the best meal you can get in the city. Make sure to put this on your list when you visit!

I really liked nicely baked multi grain breads with cheese and tomato sauce. Since the breakfast menus, which cost about 40-45 dirhams, also include orange juice, coffee, and a small bottle of water, I think the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is very tranquil with peaceful sea view. Although the menus are written in French only, the waiters are very attentive, thus always willing to help to translate them if you need. Please try here when you are tired of the big & round Moroccan breads.

At first I was going to go to the Cafe Panorama nearby but decided to try this place. It seemed to be upscale, uniquely modern upstairs and downstairs, and indeed it is, as well as being very clean and it directly fronts on the popular beach in the Malabata area of Tangier. I decided to sit outside in a small garden whose two tables were in a setting that allowed me to view in the distance two large yachts belonging to the King of Saudia Arabia and the Emir of Qatar. After ordering a coffee I summoned a waiter to bring me the menu to see if any items might interest me. While the pizzas were reasonable in price, I saw that the prices for other food items were not so cheap. I decided to order a Caesar Salad at 70 Dirhams, mainly because of the anchovies, which I really like. The menu said the lettuce would be Romaine, but an odd variation arrived with another type of lettuce, very large shavings of parmesan cheese, and instead of croutons there were several pretzel-style bread sticks. There was minimal lettuce and just a few small anchovies, and not a true Caesar salad dressing--just oil and vinegar. I ate it all but was very disappointed with this choice on my first visit. Le Grand Cafe Mella in Tangier is, however, well worth the extra money for the views and you can also sit on an upper open-air terrace or downstairs outside in the sun, watching the ocean and people on the beach. It is fairly quiet inside and outside. Although my first order did not match what the menu said, on a subsequent visit with my brother we sat outside facing the beach and we enjoyed superb marinated anchovies omlette with delicious and fresh warm whole wheat bread for 33 Dirhams and a coffee that was 18 Dirhams and on the small side. And on a third visit my brother ordered a cheese omlette that was very good. Le Grand Cafe Mella in Tangier is a beautiful, comfortable and tranquil place. The waiters are attentive and polite. I highly recommend this place as a getaway from the noisy downtown.

Love this place. Beautiful view to the beach. But over priced...

Good place for relaxation and have a breakfast with nearly friend

Very nice place.....

Super

(Translated by Google) Nice view 🏖, but prices 💶are high 💹 (Original) Vue agréable 🏖, mais les prix 💶sont élevés 💹

I just had the best coffee at this truly historic café in Tangier. The atmosphere is authentic and full of character, making it a must-visit spot for coffee lovers. I was served by Mr. Ismail, whose service exceeded all expectations — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by for an unforgettable experience!

A must try. The quality is top notch and they make you feel at home, charging the right amount for Morocco. We tried latte and also espresso. He offers with spices (mix of several, or only cardamom) or without. The owner explained everything about coffee and we tasted different types. He roasts his own coffee beans and from different origins. He has a type that has less caffeine (not totally decaf) and we felt very well afterwards. He also gave great recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. Thanks for your kindness. We will go again for sure!

Thank you for one of the best coffee experiences! Even though it isn’t being made in store, we bought some beans and took them back to London with us. Now we can enjoy a great cup of coffee with those amazing spices. Weave through the streets and find this amazing place you won’t be disappointed!

I can't definitively say, but this has to be the best coffee in Tanger. Just off the Grand Socco this place is somewhere you must go! Really fiendly with great beans to sip at the counter or better to take and sit in the Socco and watch the world go by.

Every cup is a little journey! ☕ The coffee is delicious, the welcome is warm, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing. A real pleasure every time you visit.

WOW!! our local food tour guide took us here and tbe coffees (cappuccino for us) were amazing & delicious! The owner is do talented! We are from the Washington DC area & he dhowed us the front page of our Washington Post travel section - featured him & his store. Must visit!!

Amazing coffee. Great service and even offered advice about the city to visit and eat. Famous in a local paper by serving some Hollywood stars a few years ago.

Nice place to take coffee
