Where to eat in Agadir

Dining guide

Agadir is a beach resort city, so the dining mixes Atlantic seafood, casual promenade restaurants and a handful of traditional Moroccan tables in Talborjt. It's a relaxed, sun-driven scene rather than a foodie destination.

Agadir rebuilt itself after the 1960 earthquake as a modern beach city, and the food reflects that more than tradition. The marina restaurants serve grilled fish and seafood platters to a tourist and local crowd, but the cooking is straightforward rather than refined. Tafarnout and the Souss valley inland bring Amazigh (Berber) food traditions: amlou with fresh bread, argan oil in everything, and simple tagines with locally grown vegetables. The city is the gateway to Souss cuisine, which is plainer and more ingredient driven than what you find in Fes or Marrakech. For street food, head to Talborjt where grilled sardines and brochettes cost a few dirhams.
