Where to Eat in Taghazout: Best Cafes & Restaurants

Taghazout might be a small town, but it has no shortage of great food options. From local spots and street food to cafes, coffee shops, and even a few bars, I’ll show you exactly where to eat in Taghazout. I spent two weeks there during my seven-week trip around Morocco, so I had plenty of time to try a range of places and get a feel for what’s actually worth it.

Tips For Eating In Taghazout

Most places in Taghazout are cash only. The only spot I went to that accepted card was World of Waves. It’s also worth noting that a lot of places don’t carry much change, so try to hold onto smaller bills and coins, especially for things like water, fruit, and snacks from local shops. Buying food from the small marts is super cheap; for example, I got two yogurts, bananas, and a drink for around $1. Local spots and street food typically cost around 25–40 MAD ($2–$4), while proper restaurants and western-style cafes are more in the $7–$12 range.

Quick Picks:

👉 Best overall: Surfer Berbere
👉Best view: World of Waves
👉 Best cheap eats: Taghazout Tajine Place
👉 Best coffee & brekkie: Red Clay Cafe
👉 Best sunset spot: Msmen at the Skate Park
👉 Best local food: Tiguidar

Pro Tip: Never Travel Without Travel Insurance!

You never know when the unexpected will happen. Make sure you are covered when traveling in case of a medical emergency or travel delays. I have been traveling with Safetey Wing for 7+ years and trust them to take care of me. They are a travel medical insurance created specifically for travellers, by travellers. At a low cost of $62/month, it's my go-to!

Best Restaurants In Taghazout

Teapot Cafe

If you walk past this place in the morning, chances are it’ll be packed and for good reason. It’s one of the more popular breakfast spots in Taghazout, and the food lives up to it. The avocado toast options are the most popular, but the real standout for me was the tropical mango smoothie. It’s made with real coconut milk and honestly tastes so good I ended up grabbing one to-go most days. Service can be a bit hit or miss, but it’s still well worth stopping by. 

Be sure to get here early because spots fill up fast! They also don’t let you dine in just for a drink or a cake, you’ll need to order a meal or get those take-away. 

World of Waves

This place is all about the location. You’ve got seating right on the waterfront, with covered outdoor tables and an indoor space that still feels completely open to the sea. It’s the kind of spot you can easily spend a few hours, and I ended up coming here regularly to work, eat, or just grab a coffee or smoothie. The food is good, especially with that view. The shrimp curry was a standout (my friend had the chicken version), and I also tried the chicken Caesar salad and seafood pasta. Prices are a bit higher than most places in Taghazout, around 90-120 MAD for a main.

Tip: If you’re wanting to work from here, get here early because the indoor spots fill up quick. Also dinner fills up fast too, especially around sunset. And if you’re looking for a drink – you’re in luck because they are one of the few places who sell alcohol. 

Surfer Berbere

I came across this place while wandering outside the main part of Taghazout. You have to walk along the coast a bit to find it, but it’s 100% worth it. The setting is unreal. It’s perched right on the cliffs, with outdoor tables overlooking the water, some of them are literally in the splash zone. There’s also a more relaxed area off to the side with floor seating, cushions, and small tables where people hang out, especially around sunset when they light a fire. It’s easily one of the best spots for a sunset dinner. I had the fried calamari which was so good, and my friends ordered the fresh fish and said it was amazing. This place was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. 

Best Snacks & Local Joints

Suzi’s Cookies

If you have a sweet tooth, Suzi’s is the place to go. They specialize in delicious cookies and baked goods, as well as coffees and teas. It’s in an adorable white and purple building situated right in front of the ocean so you have a great view while you enjoy your cookie. If you’ve been to Dane’s Cookies in Bali before and liked those, then you’ll like these too! 

Msmen/Taco stand

Okay so you’ll find a fair few of these around town and I don’t think you can go wrong at any of them! I personally frequented the one that is in the square, and when you walk up to it, it’s located on the right hand side but straight ahead. There is a corner restaurant there where the tables go into the walkway, and there’s a crepe stand before you get to it, and a crepe stand on the left hand side of it. I couldn’t find it’s exact name on Google maps and sadly I didn’t take a pic of it, but I ate one here many times and they are sooo good and cheap, only 40 MAD which is $4 and they are filling! Just note, their “tacos” are actually like burritos. 

The next good one is up at the skatepark because it’s simply a lovely thing to enjoy while watching the skaters and the sunset. 

Crepe Stand

The crepes here are soo good and you must try them! You’ll see a bunch of crepe stands all over town. I personally loved going to the one in the square, across from the restaurant J cool, and I believed it’s called Crepes Jcool. They have so many flavors and are around 15-35 MAD each depending on what flavor combo you get. I got the bananas and biscoff and it was SCRUMPTIOUS! There is another popular one around the corner called AZIZ’s as well. Look for the guy in the pic below to see if it’s Jcool’s stand. 

Taghazout Tajine Palace

This spot is right on the corner right next to the pharmacy. They have really good prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you’re on a budget or simply wanting to eat where the locals eat. I had some soup here when my belly was hurting and it was really good, I think it as only 10 MAD or $1. They’re known for their tajines though so be sure to get one of those. I’ll show a picture of one I ate at Paradise Valley just so you can see what they’re like! It’s a dish they prepare by cooking iti slowly in a clay pot. You’ll see these all over Morocco. A trip isn’t complete without trying one in every flavor.

Best Coffee Spots In Taghazout

>>Red Clay Cafe: The coffee here for me was the best out of all the places I tried coffee. After 3 years living in Australia, I have become quite the coffee snob. They are a vegan restaurant though so I believe the standard is oat milk. Definitely recommend if you are picky about your coffee like me. I think the cost is 30 MAD or $3.

>>Teapot Cafe: This spot is right next door to Red Clay and is always busy. They also have good coffee. If you aren’t planning to eat, then they won’t let you sit there just to enjoy a coffee because they are so small and get so busy. So you’ll either need to get it takeaway or stay and enjoy breakfast or lunch. I believe the coffee was like 30 or 35 MAD as well, about $3.

>>Local stand: If you head to the beach where the actual town is, right where all of the blue fishing boats are parked up on the beach, you’ll see a guy here with a coffee cart. His coffee is pretty good for local coffee and is super cheap at only 15 MAD so $1.50. Great spot if you’re on a budget but can’t go without your daily coffee.

>>Suzi’s Cookies: If you haven’t had a cookie here or other sweet treat, definitely recommend you come here to try one and have a coffee. It’s a cute little corner shop right on the ocean and they have a bunch of chairs for you to chill and enjoy the view and your coffee.

>>World of Waves: The coffee here is alright, not my favorite but not bad either. I would usually order one just to be able to work here though and not take up a seat without ordering something. Wouldn’t be my go-to place though to grab a coffee, that is just my personal opinion.

Spots To Drink In Taghazout

>>Dfrost: This location used to be quieter since drinking isn’t the norm in Morocco, however with Taghazout becoming increasingly more popular as a tourist destination it has caught on and this place can fill up, especially around sunset. There is a nice outdoor seating area, as well as an area downstairs along the rocks and water for you to hang out with some carpets. If you’re trying to enjoy some cold drinks, highly recommend coming here. Just try to get there early for a spot!

>>World of Waves: This restaurant was my go-to for a lot of my time there, just because it was handy when it came to having an incredible view, a place to work with strong wifi, and a pretty good menu. They also sell alcohol here so if you’re after a wine or beer you can enjoy one here while taking in the views.

>>Munga Bar: This is a bar and restaurant located at the bottom of Munga Guesthouse. If you aren’t staying here, no worries you can still go in and enjoy your time there. I walked past a few nights and it seemed to be one of the few places that was popping off.

Where to Eat in Taghazout: Final Thoughts
