Best Places for Breakfast in Tamraght

Surf Cafe 14 is one of my all-time favourites. It’s a sweet little beach shack perched up above Devil’s Rock. Perfect reprieve from the sun, you can sit and snack, grab a mint tea and watch the surf. There are a few restaurants down along this stretch of beaches, but this is my top pick. It’s also on my list of the Best Sunset Spots in Tamraght. For good reason.

They offer a small menu: tapas (avocado, raisins, egg and olive oil on toast – odd but yum), Berber omelette, crepes and juices. They don’t open early, and everything will be served in Moroccan time. Just sit back and embrace it.

If you’re as big an omelette fan as I am, I recommend hitting up Swal for breakfast. They’ve got a range of different eggy options, avo toast and a bunch of great juices and smoothies. You can chop and change with whatever fruits, nuts, protein, yada yada.

If fresh and healthy is your flavour, Let’s Be is another solid option. It’s a bit more exy than some, but they venture out from the local cuisine with a nice selection of vegan, vego, and whole-food dishes. Think smoothie bowls, buddha bowls, burgers, pizza, raw desserts and matcha lattes. The breakfast menu is great. I highly recommend the Double Trouble toast. One piece of toast with smashed avo and egg, and one with amlou and fresh fruit. Perfect.

For a full Moroccan breakfast, my top pick is Le Petit Kawa. Formally known as Babakoul, it’s the oldest restaurant in the village, and the menu has largely remained the same since I first visited in 2016. It was there that I first fell in love with kefta tagine and the Moroccan specialty: avocado, date and almond smoothie. Sounds a bit rank, but you’ve gotta try it.

The Moroccan breakfast at Le Petit Kawa comes with all the bells and whistles, and they’ve got a sweet little shaded verandah to dine at your leisure. It’s a good spot for lunch and dinner too, with great tagines and omelettes at a reasonable price.

For something a little cheaper, check out La Paniére. Their elaborate Moroccan breakfast comes with enough pastries, breads and spreads to feed a family of four. Super popular among locals and tourists alike. La Paniére is your go-to bakery, stocking fresh bread, pastries, msemen, sandwiches, and all other assorted treaties. They also offer an array of aforementioned excessive set-menu breakfasts. Super cheap.

Best Coffee in Tamraght

Most cafes and restaurants in Tamraght will sell coffee and mint tea, so you won’t be hard-pressed to get a caffeine fix. Nonetheless, there are a few places specialising in coffee that are worthy of note.

My first port of call would be the beachfront coffee cars. Location location. If you only have to peel your sleepy self off the sand and walk 10m for a little café au lait, then you’re onto a winner. There are a few different cars and vans that park at Devil’s Rock and Banana Point, and even Boilers if you find yourself chasing the swell up that way. The boot of the car is fitted out with a full espresso machine, so they can fuel the masses whilst watching the surf. Idyllic.

If you’d prefer a little sit-down venue, I recommend Zawya Coffee Shop. Locally owned with good, cheap coffee, and a little shop with a bit of vintage clothing and other knick-knacks. With a thriving boganillea out the front, it’s got to be one of the prettiest spots for coffee in Tamraght. They’ve also got a beautiful little guesthouse called Riad Zawya.

If you’re after specialty coffee – quality beans, alternative plant milk and all that jazz, then Tamraght has a few contenders. They tend to be expat-owned, thus they cater to tourists with all the pizazz of the trendy cafes we’re used to back home.

First up is Daydream, with a big shaded terrace out front that gives it a real nice community feel. You can park up in the morning with a coffee and greet all your fellow travellers as they flock down the hill to the beach. The interior doubles as a shop, selling a bunch of beautiful Moroccan homewares. Vintage rugs, pottery and the like.

Hey Yallah is equally beautiful. A little smaller, but still attracting loads of travellers to the street-front hangout. The coffee is great, and they stock a small selection of home-baked goods. Every Sunday, they host a marketplace featuring local female artists and creators. There’s usually a DJ, and you can hang and browse the vintage clothing, jewellery and crocheted pieces.

The Laundry is one of the newest kids on the block. Small and homely, with great coffee and home-baked goods. It’s English-owned and the only spot in Tamraght where you can grab a cup of Yorkshire tea!

Best Coworking Cafes in Tamraght

I’ve shared the Best Coworking Spots in Tamraght – great options if you’re after the full coliving set-up or if you require a designated work booth. But if you’re just looking for somewhere in Tamraght with solid Wi-Fi, adequate powerpoints and a few tables to perch up, then I recommend settling for one of these cafes.

It’s important to note that they all welcome remote workers, so you won’t feel like a pest for rinsing their Wi-Fi. None of them charge a coworking fee, but obviously, you need to buy something. And they all make great coffee and homemade treaties, which is a plus.

My current favourite is Sukun Spot. It’s a cosy little venue in lower Tamraght. They have a range of quirky matcha and latte options that they serve in funky pink mugs. A little impractical, but the novelty is fun. The gingerbread latte is a fan favourite.

When the sun is shining, I prefer Cafe Nour. It’s situated at the top end of the village, closer to Banana Point. They have big floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise the light, so you don’t feel as bad for hunching over a laptop while on holiday. They have a communal workspace in the middle with lots of powerpoints. Up above, they have Nour Guesthouse – a swanky little accommodation option with ocean views.

Similarly, Surf and Friends is the ground-floor coworking cafe of Surf and Friends Lodge. It’s a big, open, light-filled space with indoor and outdoor seating. This is the only one of the lot that has a proper food menu, rather than just sweet treats.

If you’re looking for somewhere a little quieter to zone in, I recommend Nafas Coffee. It’s a smaller coffee shop in the north end of Tamraght, and one of the only places I’ve found with second-hand English books. You can donate your old books and get a coffee in return.

Best Cheap, Local Restaurants in Tamraght

With the rapid influx of boujee cafes and restaurants in Tamraght, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see the number of cheap, locally-owned eateries popping up alongside them. The no-frills, hole-in-the-wall kind of joints with five things on the menu. Or a one-man/woman/show operating out of the back of their van.

Chez Mimoun has been around for a while. It’s a tiny restaurant nestled along Tamraght’s busiest shopping and dining strip. My apologies, but addresses aren’t a thing in Tamraght, so directions are hard to give. I recommend the chicken with potatoes, lemon and olives – it’s super filling and only 25dh (€2.50). On Fridays, they do couscous (chicken or vegetable) for 30dh (€3) – probably the cheapest you’ll find in Tamraght.

Make sure you keep an eye out for their msemen maamer. Otherwise known as crêpes aux légumes. Or vege msemen. You’ll find msemen everywhere in Morocco. It’s a flaky, fried flatbread, usually served at breakfast or with tea. Super treaty with amlou or honey, but this savoury version is next level. The msemen is stuffed with onions and peppers and spices before it’s fried on a hot plate in front of you as you do your best not to melt into a puddle in the dirt. Only 10dh (about €1). They don’t have it every day, so grab it when you can.

Just a little further down the street, you’ll find Souka. Another dirt-cheap, made with love, kinda restaurant with a nice little outdoor nook. She sells tagines for 30-40dh (€3-€4), and possibly the tastiest harira soup you’ll find in town. You can get soup and msemen for 13dh (€1.30).

The best cheap stomach-filler in Morocco has to be beans and lentils. My favourite in Tamraght is from Moon Z3Z3. There are just two tables outside and a small but bang-on menu. They also do tagines, omelettes and rfissa.

I love a business that does one thing and does it well. Keep it simple, stick to what you know. Subway Fish has carved out their niche with fish sandwiches. It’s a one-man show. Day in, day out, he fries sardines and stuffs them in fresh khobz (bread), along with grilled aubergine, tomatoes and onion, and a bit of spicy sauce if you fancy. A steal at only 10dh a sandwich.

In the same vein, further down the road towards the beach, two sandwich carts park up when the weather is good. Sandwich Kamal and Abdu Fast Food. You can choose between kefta or sausage with salad etc. The kind of places where it’s better to just let the chef take the lead. Super tasty, super cheap. 10dh or so for a sandwich. If you’re looking for ways to stretch out your Moroccan funds, skip the boujier cafes and restaurants in Tamraght and eat here.

If you head north up that street, climbing the stairs to upper Tamraght, you’ll find a blue coffee van. In the afternoons, he often has a few pots of soup brewing up. Only about 20dh (€2) for a bowl, and tasty as.

Best Places for Lunch & Dinner in Tamraght

Manouche feels like the swankiest out of all the cafes and restaurants in Tamraght. They’ve got a cosy little lamp-lit terrace, with stained glass and beautiful tiles. Real date night kind of place, if you’re that way inclined. A little more pricey than others, but still fairly reasonable.

The food is Lebanese: baba ganoush, falafel, hummus and kibbeh. All the dishes are super tasty and perfect for sharing. The warm, spiced flatbread is soo good. It’s a real nice switch up from the Moroccan khobz that you’ll be eating three meals a day here.

For something fresher, Ohana Poké is a good shout. Seafood, chicken or vegan options, packed with veg and super tasty. They also do some of the best burgers in Tamraght. So, best of both worlds.

I’m also a big fan of Kisslaz for something a little mellower than the usual Moroccan feasts. It’s a funky little locally-owned restaurant in lower Tamraght. They do a really good kefta wrap, and I highly rate the calamari tagine. The owner also runs cooking classes if you’re keen to try your hand at some proper Moroccan dishes.

Kokoa is a little restaurant tucked beside Le Petit Kawa. They do shawarma, bao buns and croque-monsieurs. I recommend the lamb shawarma. It’s super tasty, filling and only 65dh (€6.50), which is pretty cheap for non-Moroccan food.

For Moroccan that isn’t just tagines and couscous, try Machi Mouchkil. They do Moroccan street food with a selection of briouates (stuffed pastries) and batbout sandwiches. Give the titiza sandwich a whirl – it’s got chicken, confit lemon sauce, olives and french fries.

Timam Du Chef is your best late-night food option. I think they’re open until 4am? I’ve had many a chicken sandwich here after an evening watching the sunset at the skatepark. Located on the main road, they’re easy to find. They also deliver to anywhere in Tamraght. So if you’re down at the beach craving a pizza, these are the guys to call.

They offer a huge menu. They’ve got the Moroccan staples of couscous and tagine (one of my favourite spots for a beef tagine), as well as all the usual Western comfort foods. Pizza, pasta, burgers and tacos.

Fana Food and Fastimim are good options for Moroccan fast food. I recommend giving the kefta taco a whirl. It’s got mince, cheese and chips inside a toasted wrap. Nothing like the Mexican namesake, but super yum,

And for the best wood-fired pizza in town, you can’t go past U Wood Love. They’re located in Aourir, but offer free delivery to Tamraght.
