Restaurants and cafés listed in published guides, with their source, followed by local dishes to try. None of these addresses has yet been tested by our team: check opening hours and prices before you go.
The $ to $$$$ symbols are taken as they are from the list of Tangier restaurants published by Fodor's Travel: $ marks the least expensive places and $$$$ the most expensive. On that page Fodor's does not give the equivalent in dirhams, so this ranking compares the places with one another without giving a price. The three kinds of addresses are never mixed up: visited (tested by our team, none so far), researched from a source (all the addresses below) and speciality to try (further down).
