Assilah has a string of restaurants clustered around Bab Kasaba and along the medina walls on
Ave Hassan II. There are a few other cheap options on Rue Ahmed M’dem near the banks on
Pl Mohammed V.

Casa García €€

Dh80; lunch & dinner) Spanish-style fish dishes and fishy tapas are the speciality at this
small restaurant opposite the beach. Go for succulent grilled fish or a more adventurous menu
of octopus, eels, shrimp and barnacles, served with a glass of crisp Moroccan gris wine on the
large and breezy terrace. The paella is delicious too.

Restaurante Oceano Casa Pepe €€

Black-tied waiters lure in the punters from the street at this slightly more formal dining option,
where fresh seafood tops the bill. Spanish and Moroccan wine, low lighting and soft music
make it a more refined atmosphere.

Restaurant la Place €€

lunch & dinner) Friendly, less formal and more varied than its neighbours, this restaurant offers
a choice of traditional Moroccan dishes as well as the ubiquitous fish and seafood. The
delicious fish tajine provides the best of both worlds.

Restaurant Yali €

choose between them, this is one of the most popular of the string of restaurants along the
medina walls. It serves up a good selection of fish, seafood, pizza and traditional Moroccan
staples.

La Symphonie II des Douceurs €

sugar fix. Devour pastries and ice cream (in summer only) in very civilised surroundings.

Al-Madina €

medina is its sunny seating area in the square in front of El-Khamra Tower. It’s a great place to
sip a coffee and watch the world go by.
