( 0528 80 00 88; www.hotel-lesamandiers.com; s/d incl breakfast from Dh400/546; )
This kasbah-like hilltop pile has 60 reasonably attractive rooms with small balconies, making the
most of the incredible views of the rock formations ringing Tafraoute. The pool and restaurant
share the views, but the bar is tucked away in a corner without any vistas. The furniture is
rather tired and the hotel needs a renovation, but you may have the place to yourself. Les
Amandiers is visible throughout Tafraoute. To get there, follow Route de Tazekka southwest
past Maison Tuareg and turn left onto the road leading uphill.

Auberge Les Amis €

Offline map Google  map (    0527   54  30  93; [email protected];    s/d Dh100/150)  This    new

hotel has 10 basic rooms on three floors, and a roof terrace. Rooms have external bathrooms
and a pleasant Berber ambience courtesy of the carpet bed heads.

Hôtel Tanger €

Offline map Google  map (    0528   80  01  90; s/d Dh40/80)    A   small,  friendly    hotel   with    very    basic

rooms and reasonable shared bathrooms and toilets. Some English is spoken, there’s a roof
terrace, and the ground-floor cafe serves breakfast (Dh25), tajines (Dh35) and the usual
dishes. The family also runs a guest house in Oumesnate.

Eating

Plenty of small food stores sell cheese and basic picnic supplies to supplement the fruit and veg
available in the market.

Café Atlas €

Offline map Google  map (    0667   12  02  93; meal    Dh60;    breakfast, lunch   &   dinner) Atlas’

covered terrace is more of a local hang-out than the nearby L’Étoile d’Agadir restaurant.
Cheese omelette, steak, tajines and sandwiches feature on the broad menu.

Restaurant La Kasbah €

Offline map Google  map (    0672   30  39  09; set menu    Dh100)  This    is  aimed   at  tourists,   with

alcohol available, and the room is low on atmosphere, despite the kilims doing a brave job of
covering the yellow walls. However, some thought has gone into the extensive menu, which
includes a warming harira . The house speciality is kalia (minced mutton with tomato, peppers,
egg, onion and 44 spices served in a tajine).

Restaurant L’Étoile du Sud €

Offline map Google  map (    0528   80  00  38; set menu    Dh90)   L’Étoile    du  Sud serves  a   good    set

menu in a rather kitsch Bedouin-style tent, although you may have to share the place with tour
groups, particularly at lunchtime. Still, the lamb tajine is commendable, the service professional
and on warm nights it’s one of the best places to eat.

Shopping

Tafraoute has several slipper shops around the market area selling the traditional leather
