Le Sirocco

“Their Moroccan dishes were excellent. We ordered beef & lamb tagine and royal couscous, which were very flavorful. The waitress recommended dessert, so we tried the chocolate fondant and orange cream, very delicious.”

“One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time anywhere (I’m from the UK). Exquisite! Such a welcoming atmosphere with wonderful live music that was lively and relaxing at the same time. The service was Excellent! Genuinely such great hosts. And the food - some of the best I’ve had in anywhere for some time. The lamb tagine was a standout - such tender meat with subtle flavour of the spices. My partner and I had two desserts (see photo) and both were excellent. I’d highly recommend - one of the few places clicking on five stars for food, service and atmosphere feels absolutely spot on and deserving!”

“Honestly one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. The menu is interesting with a wide selection of authentic Moroccan food, as well as Mediterranean- inspired dishes. The food itself was outstanding (probably the best we had in Morocco), the service was professional, and the live music set a gorgeous atmosphere. Very special memories in Le Sirocco in Essaouira x”

“We walked by this restaurant and it captured our attention because of the amazing guitar musician. The very large menu / sign on the outer wall confirmed its range of food options but this isn’t just a typical tourist restaurant. The interior was modern and tastefully designed. Tables nicely spaced. Our menu selections were delicious. The starter salad an unexpected combo of veg that worked so well. Great bread and condiments. I had a Thai inspired seafood noodle dish which was excellent. All with low key beautiful vocals accompanying our meal. Highly recommend.”

“An unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Essaouira Le Sirocco was such a standout during our trip to Essaouira that we ended up going back more than once — and each time was just as incredible as the first. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps around you with warmth, charm, and a touch of bohemian elegance. It’s cozy, intimate, and full of soul. The food is truly unforgettable. Every dish we tried — from the rich, perfectly spiced seafood tagine to the Tanjia and Mrozia — was bursting with flavor and presented with care. Even the fresh bread and starters were delicious and memorable. You can feel the love in every bite. And the desserts were truly the grand finale. Every bite felt indulgent and refined. The Rzeza dessert was unlike anything we’ve ever tasted — delicate, fragrant, and delightfully crunchy. And the chocolate fondant? The kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and savor every spoonful. It was the perfect sweet ending to an already exceptional meal. The live music added a soulful and intimate touch without overwhelming the space — it simply elevated the entire experience. And the service? Impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Le Sirocco is the kind of place that stays with you long after the meal is over. Whether you’re visiting Essaouira for a few days or longer, don’t miss this spot. We made sure to return — and we’d do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Le Sirocco!”
