Chez Simo & Abdelkrim

“This was my first time in Essaouira and a local friend brought us to this little spot hidden inside the alley. The restaurant is very simple, small, and totally local, but the food and the people made it one of my favorite meals in Morocco.😋 Here you can buy your own seafood from the market and they cook it for you, or you can just tell them what you want and they’ll help you choose. We had super fresh grilled sardines, a big fish tagine, Moroccan salad, fries, and mint tea. Everything tasted amazing — clean flavors, fresh fish, perfect grill, very authentic. The chefs were so friendly and fun to talk with. They even let us stand behind the counter and watch them cook. It really felt like eating in someone’s home. If you want a real local seafood experience in Essaouira, not tourist style, this is the place. We definitely recommend it, and we’ll come back again next time we visit this beautiful coastal city.🌊”

One of the best fish dinners i ever had, super fresh and tasty, Very friendly, if you are into authentic local food, thats where to go. I wanted to have Shrimp Tajin, it was over, they bought some Calamari from the market infront of them, and spontaneously made the best Calimari Tajin ever
