Restaurant Hafa Mar

“Great sea view. Only breakfast was serving while we were visiting (12:50PM). Affordable price. Tips: Bring your own fork as the restaurant provides fork.”

“I visited this café last Sunday for breakfast, drawn by the beautiful ocean view, which is indeed the only redeeming quality. Unfortunately, the café itself is in terrible condition. The space is poorly maintained—many of the chairs are broken, and tables were visibly dirty. The service was equally disappointing. We waited for 30 minutes without even being acknowledged by the waiter, who passed by several times but only rearranged chairs and tables. When I approached him to place our order, he responded, ‘I’ll be with you right now,’ yet another 20 minutes passed, and he never came. Frustrated, we left, and he didn’t even seem to notice or care. The place was crowded, which might explain some delays, but it’s clear that this café isn’t equipped to handle it. The menu seemed limited, offering tea, coffee, pastries, and some bread, but I can’t speak to the quality as we weren’t served.”

“Hafa Café – A Timeless Gem Overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar Visiting Hafa Café in Tangier is not just about having tea—it’s about stepping into history, culture, and panoramic beauty all at once. Perched on the cliffs with sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea meeting the Atlantic Ocean, this legendary café has been a meeting point for thinkers, artists, and travelers since 1921. The charm of Hafa lies in its simplicity. The multi-level terraces, modest stone benches, and ivy-covered walls have remained largely untouched, preserving the authentic spirit that once drew icons like Paul Bowles, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. The mint tea, famous across Morocco, tastes even better here as the sea breeze and distant sound of waves enhance the experience. Why I Highly Recommend It: • Breathtaking Views: Unmatched scenery of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Spanish coast on a clear day. • Cultural Significance: An iconic location that captures the essence of Tangier’s rich literary and musical history. • Atmosphere: Relaxed, timeless, and truly Moroccan—perfect for reflection, inspiration, or simply enjoying a slow moment. • Affordable Experience: Despite its fame, prices remain very reasonable. Pro Tips: Visit around sunset for an unforgettable golden hour. Bring a book or journal. And don’t miss their signature tea—it’s legendary for a reason.”
