"A local grilled fish treat! Must go to if you’re in the mood for authentic and flavorful food. Perfectly cooked rice and swordfish, amazing fresh salad and delicious French baguette. The grilled tomatoes were the best I’ve ever had! Would return just for those."
Tessa Craver
"Great restaurant hidden just off the busy streets of the medina. Amazing swordfish and was cheap too (70 dirham with a baguette, olives and a water). Highly recommend"
Dan Harper
"The grilled fish was exceptional and inexpensive. Very fresh, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Staff were kind and service was quick. Only cash is accepted. The fries were fresh and tasty. The rice however was stale smelling but the staff were apologetic and were willing to replace the rice.
You are served olives and bread on arrival. Prices are friendly to locals and tourists alike. Apparently Bourdain ate here so you can't complain.
The place is gives you an old bodega vibe and overall could use a thorough clean starting from the floor, where the bread is stored(dumped) and the kitchen !"
