Ferdaouss

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true gem in Essaouira! By chance, we stumbled upon this little gem in a rather unassuming, dark alley—and what a lucky find! The owner and chef is incredibly warm, friendly, and personable. You can immediately tell that this isn’t just a place where food is served, but where it is prepared with genuine passion. And the dishes? An absolute dream! 🤩 Fresh, incredibly flavorful, and prepared with lots of love. Every bite was a little taste experience. What makes this place so special to us is the combination of its authentic atmosphere, warm hospitality, and fantastic food. It’s exactly these kinds of unexpected discoveries that make a trip unforgettable. A clear recommendation for anyone visiting Essaouira who is looking for a small, authentic culinary gem away from the typical tourist restaurants. We would come back anytime! ❤️🇲🇦

A delightful little local restaurant with a very warm welcome. The dishes are well-balanced and delicately seasoned. Special mention goes to the citrus octopus salad, which is incredibly flavorful!

Abdelhadi gave us a very warm welcome and his cooking is absolutely delicious. A truly excellent place to eat; don't hesitate to venture down this little street. A must-try! 😋 …

Traditional Moroccan restaurant. Everything was excellent. The octopus salad, the pastilla, and the fish tagine were incredible! We loved it.

Food was amazing, and the host was hard working, welcoming and friendly. Definitely give it a visit!!

A very good dinner at Ferdaouss. We received a very warm welcome, and it's immediately clear that the chef loves his work. The octopus tagine was truly excellent, flavorful, and very tender. The grilled octopus was also very, very good, and the children devoured their burgers. A small restaurant that reflects all the culinary expertise of Morocco!

We had a wonderful time at Ferdaouss restaurant in Essaouira. The dishes and desserts were delicious, prepared with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Both children and adults thoroughly enjoyed themselves 😍 The restaurant is also impeccably clean. A huge thank you to the manager, Abdelhadi, who is remarkably kind and welcoming. His hospitality made our meal even more enjoyable. The waiter is also lovely (a dead ringer for Hakimi 🇲🇦😅). A true gem that we highly recommend. We will definitely be back 🥰

By far the best food we had for the whole of our stay. When we come again would definitely be eating here. The owner/ chef was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the food
