About Morocco Table
What this is
Morocco Table is a restaurant discovery guide for people visiting or living in Morocco. It covers restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and bars across the country's major cities, ranked by a combination of Google review data and social media signals.
The goal is simple: help you find places worth eating at, without wading through pay-to-play directories or outdated guidebook lists. Every restaurant on the site earned its place through public data, not sponsorship.
Who runs this
Morocco Table is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any restaurant group, tourism board, or review platform. The site is maintained by a small team interested in Moroccan food culture and data-driven discovery.
How restaurants are ranked
Every restaurant on Morocco Table is scored using a composite signal built from publicly available data. No restaurant pays for placement or ranking. The score combines three layers:
Google review quality
We pull ratings, review volume, and review freshness from Google Maps. A restaurant with a 4.5 rating and 2,000 recent reviews signals something different from a 4.8 with 12 reviews from three years ago. The scoring weights volume, recency, and consistency, not just the headline number.
Social signals
We track TikTok view counts and Instagram engagement for restaurants that have a public social presence. This layer captures where people are actually going right now, which changes faster than review scores. A place trending on TikTok in Marrakech this month will surface differently from one that peaked two years ago.
Discovery score
The final score blends Google quality and social buzz into a single number (0-100). Higher scores indicate stronger combined signals. You can see the score breakdown on each restaurant detail page.
Where the data comes from
Restaurant data on Morocco Table is collected from these public sources:
- Google Places API — names, addresses, coordinates, ratings, review counts, price levels, business status, opening hours, and photos.
- Instagram — follower counts and post volume for restaurants with public profiles.
- TikTok — view counts on tagged content for restaurants with discoverable profiles.
We do not scrape private data or user-generated content. All data comes from public APIs or public profiles.
How often data updates
Google review data is refreshed periodically. Social signals are updated on a rolling basis. The "last updated" timestamp on each restaurant page shows when its signals were last checked.
Some restaurants may have stale data if their social profiles changed or if Google has not refreshed their listing recently. If you notice a problem, let us know.
What is missing
Morocco Table does not cover every restaurant in Morocco. Coverage is strongest in Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, and Fes. Smaller cities and rural areas have fewer listings because fewer public data sources exist for those regions.
We do not include menu prices, reservation links, or delivery options. Those details change too fast to maintain reliably at scale.
The site does not accept restaurant submissions or paid listings. If a restaurant is missing, it is usually because Google or social data for it is thin.
Editorial policy
Rankings on Morocco Table are algorithmic. No restaurant pays for placement, and no human editor overrides the scoring to promote a specific venue. Hand-written descriptions exist for some high-visibility restaurants, but these do not affect ranking. They are factual summaries, not reviews.
