“Great local food”
Review of Taghazout

Restaurant details
Reviewed 18 October 2016

We stumbled across this little local cafe shortly after arriving in Rabat. I had been unable to find a reasonably priced restaurant or cafe on trip advisor that didn't sound like a tourist bus stopover and so decided to just walk down the main road of the Medina, Avenue Mohammed V, and see what took our fancy. The sign for Cafe Taghazout pointed down a laneway and we decided to follow it. So glad we did! This is not a pretty cafe but a clean, bright local cafe, full of locals and run by a very kind man eager to be of assistance. Nothing is in English but minimal French will get you by. The food is great and super cheap. The beef was recommended and came with a plate of slow cooked vegetables, all simple but very tasty. It came with nice soft bread and a sweet homemade yoghurt and a banana to finish. All this and a coke and mint tea for two came to under 75 Dirham/$10. If we were here longer I'd definitely return. Highly recommended if you're after good local food without the tourist trappings.
Most of the photos on trip advisor are not of this cafe but the town on the coast by the same name. All the beach photos should be disregarded.

Its not too difficult to navigate so long as you know you way round the souks, especially street names aren't very common
Inheritantly its a standard cafe, but make visitors very welcome, for example the brochettes- even though the chciken was still cooking for late afternoon readyness consisted of frites typicaly, beef in onions, and a rice base salad too boot

5 minutes walk from the shops in the Medina. Restaurant clean, airy, light, and full at mealtimes (hint: go for a late lunch, it's quieter). Where the locals go to eat; on our first visit we were the only tourists and shared the place with some local stallholders and an off-duty policeman. Excellent fresh salad, chicken/beef/fish and vegetables, rounded off with a banana and a glass of mint tea, all for under 30 dirhan. Service friendly and discrete. Heartily recommended!
