Best Restaurants in Taghazout
Taghazout’s restaurant scene is small, predictable in menu terms (tajine, couscous, grilled fish, Moroccan omelette, fresh juice — everywhere, all the time) and surprisingly good value once you get off the obvious tourist strip. The best meals we’ve had here weren’t in the places with the most Instagram presence — they were in the quieter spots further from Hash Point, where the food is the same but the prices are 20–30% lower and the service is more relaxed.
Here’s what we actually recommend after ten months of eating here.
Rooftop Restaurants (the Hash Point view)
The rooftop restaurants directly overlooking Hash Point are the centrepiece of Taghazout’s social eating scene. You’re paying partly for the view and the location — prices are higher than elsewhere in the village, but a sunset tajine watching the lineup is genuinely worth the premium at least once.
Typical prices: Tajine 70–100 MAD, fresh juice 30–40 MAD, mint tea 15–20 MAD.
La Favella: Hidden behind the main street. Serves authentic Moroccan dishes — lamb tajine with prunes, chicken pastilla, couscous. Rooftop offers sunset tapas with panoramic views. More upscale than the main rooftop strip.
Dar Josephine: A quiet reprieve from the busy walk-through cafes. Warm ambiance, plant-filled garden terrace. Food made from fresh market or fishing port produce, homemade bread in classic French style. Best for a cosy dinner rather than a quick lunch.
Best Value in the Village
Away from the rooftop view premium, the side streets of Taghazout have better value. Same quality of food, less of a queue, and a more local atmosphere.
Chez Titrite: Next to Teapot on the main street. Moroccan-French fusion — tajines, salads, burgers, crêpes, curries, ramen, freshly squeezed juices. Mains around 70–80 MAD. Cheap, fast, and popular. Rated in the top 10 restaurants in Taghazout on Tripadvisor.
Fresh Seafood
Taghazout is a fishing village. World of Waves is the best established option for fresh seafood — ocean terrace, licensed bar (beer, wine, cocktails), grilled fish, seafood, tajines, Moroccan breakfast (70 MAD), entrecôte with fries (140 MAD). For the freshest fish at honest prices, ask your accommodation host or look for the basic seafront cafes along the beach. Cafe Tayoughte is specifically noted for fish as well as Moroccan breakfast.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options
Moroccan cuisine is naturally vegetarian-friendly — vegetable tajine, harira soup, couscous with vegetables, bissara (fava bean soup), fresh bread, salads. Most restaurants accommodate vegetarians without any special request. See our vegan guide to Taghazout for more detail.
Budget Eating
The cheapest solid meal in Taghazout is a Moroccan omelette (egg, tomato, herbs, served with bread) for 20–30 MAD at a basic cafe. Cafe Tayoughte — Berber omelette + Moroccan salad 30 MAD (~€3) — is the most substantial cheap eat in the village. The side-street local cafes away from the main tourist strip serve omelettes and harira soup for 20–30 MAD. Chez Titrite is the best-value sit-down option: full meals for ~70–80 MAD.
Practical Info
- Cash: Most restaurants are cash only. Bring MAD.
- Alcohol: Taghazout village is largely dry. World of Waves is the most prominent exception — beer, wine and cocktails on their ocean terrace. Amourage by Surf Maroc and DFrost Almugar also serve alcohol. Head to Agadir for a wider bar scene.
- Ramadan: During Ramadan, non-Muslim tourists can eat and drink, but most local-facing cafes close during daylight hours. Tourist-facing restaurants and surf camp dining rooms typically remain open for guests. The atmosphere changes considerably and some spots shut entirely for the month — ask your accommodation on arrival.
- Booking: Taghazout doesn’t really do reservations for most places — just turn up. Peak hours (7:30–9pm) get busy at the popular rooftops.
