Just off one of the main streets in Essaouira, take the narrow staircase to the first floor and you'll find a small restaurant full of 60s/70s retro memorabilia with a welcoming owner, laidback atmosphere and unbelievably good food. As a (free) appetiser you are brought flatbreads and delicious dips; the main courses are a mix of tagines and French-style dishes, all amazingly good; puddings - if you can fit one in - imaginative and indulgent. House wine is very good, prices fair, service deliberately relaxed - it's easy to spend a whole evening here and I recommend that you do. Definitely the best food we had in Morocco.

We booked a three-centre holiday through Naturally Morocco and thoroughly enjoyed it. Transfers etc were incredibly smooth and well-organised and going on guided treks and staying in small riads made us feel that we'd seen things we certainly wouldn't have seen if we'd been travelling independently. For first-time travellers to Morocco, like us, who are a bit nervous about what to expect, the people at NM are incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring and ensured that we had an amazing time.
