Every time we go to Essouira there are a few important places we always make sure we visit. These places all include some kind of food or drink (of course).
Place number 1. The fish market.....
The fish market is right in the middle of the main market, hidden behind the stalls. The only way to find it is to follow your nose or spot the huge flock of seagulls flying above it. The market has the most amazing mix of weird and wonderful fish and fauna, all freshly caught that morning. I would say it is our favourite place to eat. They have huge bbq's and once you pick the fish, they gut it and cook it for you. While your fish is in the bbq line you can feast on fries, bread, olives and tomato salad. A word of warning, don't make our mistake and eat all this before your fish comes as it will be worth the wait.
Below in the pictures you can see what Moroccans call belt fish (for obvious reasons), then a shark being dissected and finally some gorgeous little fish all standing to attention.
Place number 2. La Patisserie......
For our mid morning snack an avocado smoothie (sounds gross but its delicious!) always goes down well. We are also slowly working our way through the huge varieties of pastries.
Place number 3. The breakfast snack shack
We try to make it here at least once during our stay for a beautiful breakfast including mint tea and flat bread with honey and herb butter (matloue). The flat bread can also be eaten as a savoury dish, stuffed with meat, onions, pepper etc
