2 Best Restaurants in Tiznit, The Southern Atlantic Coast

Behind a small blue door in an unusually buttressed wall, this quaint restaurant welcomes diners with a fig tree–shaded courtyard (hence the name) and Moroccan dishes, including a fish tagine, spiced chicken, beef brochettes, couscous, and pastilla. The menu changes regularly, as everything is freshly made. This can take some time, so don't be in a hurry.

Popular among the guests of local riads and hotels, Riad Le Lieu is a beacon in the dining scene of Tiznit. In a part of the former palace next door, chef Jihad prepares a range of Moroccan specialties, which are served on the patio and terraces; the rabbit and camel tagines are always great choices. The riad also runs a B&B, with simple rooms priced from 220 DH, so don't be surprised to see guests making their way to the shared bathroom.
