Taros

“There’s a reason this place has such high reviews and it’s because it hits every element of a great venue. Atmosphere, location, view, delicious fresh and well cooked food, friendly staff, and alcohol and live music to boot. If you were to imagine a “dream bar” scenario, this place fits well into the image.”

“le Taroc, Essaouira ; Ruined my night I’m a tourism agent in Morocco and I planned my whole evening around Le Taroc. I told friends about it and we headed there after a long day in Essaouira. I didn’t even get in. They stopped me at the door because of what I was wearing. I’m a paying client. I didn’t come to be judged or told how to dress. I came to spend money and relax. Instead I had to turn around and go back to the hotel. The plan was ruined. This is Essaouira. It’s supposed to be open, welcoming, a city for everyone. Treating people like this at the entrance feels backwards. Honestly it felt like racism. You can’t run a tourist spot and pick who looks “right” for you. I heard the rooftop view is good, but I wouldn’t know. I never got past the door. Until they change how they treat guests, I can’t send my clients here and I won’t come back. *Tip for management*: You’re losing money at the front door. Fix the attitude.”

“Not sure why they have so many bad reviews. Nice views, all kind of drinks, at night you can dance. Several places to sit and see sunset.”
