El Reducto

Cooool

I had couscous and fish soup there, but I didn’t think either was worth the price. The couscous was especially disappointing: if you want authentic couscous, you expect meat with seven vegetables or chicken with onions and raisins—not a mix of both like they serve here. When I asked for just the seven vegetables, I got eggplant and potatoes instead, and no hummus. The fish soup was really underwhelming; honestly, even a simple Royco-style fish soup tastes better and is much cheaper. For these prices, I expected a lot more.

We came here to eat an iftar meal after an entire day not eating. It was one of the only restaurants open in Tetouan. From the beginning, we felt unwelcomed. We were not presented with the menu, and the food was just thrown on the table. The waiter downright ignored our questions when we asked what was part of the iftar meal and what the price was. Then we were lectured by the staff about how Ramadan and Iftar works, as if we don’t know already. We were told that giving us the Iftar meal was a “favor” — whatever that means. We were told we needed to take initiative to ask about what the menu included (we did, multiple times, and were ignored). Terrible experience. I would say ignore this place but it was unfortunately one of the very few restaurants open in Tetouan. Still, ignore it and don’t give them your business.

The service was amazing, super friendly staff. They were just so lovely and welcoming even before I got there, when my taxi driver called to check if they're open. When we got there they were already waiting for me, aware that I was sick and super hungry because I didn't do groceries before Ramadam started. They helped me find a corner to work on my laptop since it's the only place in town I can go now. Food was incredible. The only thing that pissed me off was the amount of Europeans disturbing the place. Spaniards drinking and screaming as if they were in their houses, British expecting the waiter to understand their accent and speak english to them, Italians doing the same thing. Everybody being so disrespectful to those who were working in a sacred period for them just to make this restaurant available for us, tourists! Plus, they all speak at least 3 languages, so I guess the staff is not the problem - I speak 4 and had no problem with them. I got impressed by reading the bad reviews now and decided to leave my own. I thank god I'm latina and I thank myself for being here connecting with Moroccans and not Europeans 🙏🏼

This restaurant was the best experience in our stay in Tetouan, we ordered the couscous, the Tajine, falafel and grilled salmon. Everything was good but the couscous was outstanding, if you go you have to order it.

I recently had an appalling experience at this place. From the moment we arrived, the doorman was incredibly rude and disrespectful, hurling bad words at my friends and me. He refused to let us in, despite some of our friends already being inside and having ordered. Shockingly, he even kicked them out. This behavior was not only unprofessional but blatantly misogynistic. To make matters worse, this wasn't the first time we've encountered such hostility at this establishment. I strongly advise against visiting Reducto if you are a girl who values respectful treatment and a pleasant dining experience.

We had lunch in El Reducto, so I'm only reviewing the restaurant, not the hotel/riad. The restaurant prices are above average for Tetouan standards, however, in my opinion it makes u for it with the beautiful place, very well decorated, and the attentive service. The food was very well presented and tasty. Unlike most other restaurants, they serve alcoholic drinks. Be sure to visit the rooftop terrace as you will get spectacular views of Tetouan from there.

Great place to have a drink in peace. There is an "only girls" space in the rooftop, Which is great!! The staff is super friendly, and the food is tasty. I enjoyed my time there and will definitely go back!
