I'd been past here several times and saw loads of people sitting inside and out. I wondered what on earth was going on as it is normally completely empty.I stopped by today and had a chat with the owner and a quick coffee. The coffee was relevant! They have completely changed their ideas. Having a posh restaurant in a street full of snack-type places simply hadn't worked, so they thought again. What they have come up with is a cafe in the same lovely, well-furnished surroundings with TV screens to show football matches and special programmes. They have also removed the fussy foliage from the front patio which was appropriate for a restaurant but would have been a no-no for a cafe. It's all looking much smarter and is attracting clientele. I'm glad for them as this place has had a lot of money invested in it. It's a nice place now for a coffee and croissants or a breakfast. My coffee was fine and I do recommend it rather than any of the other cafes on the same street. There's a good welcome and the staff are friendly and efficient. I hadn't been back for a meal, but I think I'll be back for coffee.

2. Restaurant Jorf Lasfar

This is a good place to stop if on the road from El Jadida to Oualidia or Safi. The menu is simple, but the food is good. Prices are cheap.However, later at night the place comes into its own as a sort of club/bar. There's a professional group singing Moroccan and ME songs and people arrive from all round to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and extended opening hours. You have to have a car to get here or need to take a taxi. Late evening, the taxi is 100 to120 dirhams (for the whole cab) from the rank by the lighthouse in El Jadida. Make sure you get the guy's number for the trip back - you don't want to be standing on the side of the road at 6am when the premises close until midday to get ready for the lunch customers.The prices of the drinks are normal for such establishments.30 dirhams for a beer and 50 for a large measure of spirits with mixer. Tapas arrive every so often, sometimes they are substantial, sometimes simply popcorn. Maybe it depends on who's in the kitchen.I really like it here. I go down regularly with friends with a car. One of them doesn't drink, so we can get back safely!

I went to Sidi Bouzid this evening with some friends who were seeking a villa. We decided to stop off here for a couple of drinks. Prices normal - 70 dirhams for a half bottle of rose wine. We were surprised that we were served a beautiful small plate of a very nice salad each to eat with our drinks. The bar is comfortable and rather swish! There's a TV, as there is in most bars in Morocco. The restaurant looked fine and I was nosy enough to ask to have a look at the rooms in the hotel - simple and serviceable as others have noted and I'm sure, well worth the price. And it's a stone's throw from the sea and other restaurants and snacks too.Well worth a visit or even to stay, I guess.

4. Restaurant Marrakech

And yet another place I haven't been to for yonks. To my knowledge, it hasn't been a restaurant for at least 8 years. However, it has changed in that time. The actual building is still a bar on two levels, but, on a Tuesday night at least, seems to be the "quiet room". There was some soft music and it was possible to have a conversation. However, it was pretty empty although I'll warrant it gets full at the weekend. The change is at the front of the premises, between the main building and the garden wall. A sort of tent structure, which looks quite permanent seeing as the grass has been paved over, has been erected and it is here that the loud music is played. The surface area must be as large as that of the building itself, so this is a substantial addition. It was well patronised and a couple of people were dancing.We sat in the quiet room for a while, glad really to get away from pounding music for a while. It was, nonetheless, a little too quiet! We moved on after one drink.

5. Cafe Snack Haoua
Reviewed By SolomonBinding
They've done their best. The seating is right by the public lavatory of the Portuguese City. Fortunately there is no odour, as someone is perpetually cleaning it. If it weren't for the loo, this would be quite a romantic spot, overlooking, as it does, the unique five-sided mosque. The counter is a good ten yards diagonally away from the seats, over the other side of the alleyway. It's a very odd arrangement. It means that it's quite hard to get anyone's attention if the person serving is preparing drinks or a plate or even if not, as the serving hatch is barely visible from the tables.I've only ever had a coffee here and it's fine and prices are reasonable for such a touristic place. In fact, this is probably preferable to the other overpriced options available inside the walls of the City.
