Café Restaurant Ibn Batouta — Restaurant in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

The restaurant has 3 different seating areas.

First - at the entrance, looking like a proper restaurant in Europe "looking posh". Then another separate seating area inside on the ground floor terrace covered with a gazebo plastic side walls - looking more like a canteen. The third one is upstairs - the only one with ambient light if you don't like sharp, blue light at night... I believe from the reviews pictures there is another open terrace upstairs but we didn't have a look..

We went upstairs to sit by the window with a view of the Petrol station. That part of the restaurant was ⅓ full.

Staff is bland. Not engaging, but still friendly.. we didn't have any issues in ordering in English. 🥰 ❤️

Food: food was amazing!!!

We got mocktail Mojito and a juice detox ginger cucumber etc. (from juicer, not blender - smoothie) Absolutely banger!!! 🤩

Then we got chicken Eminence, platé with chicken skewer, onion rings (4 small pieces), mozzarella sticks (4 small pcs).

The food was amazing!! Especially the chicken Eminence!!! So tasty, creamy sauce chicken with mushrooms!!!! I love it!!!

The veg could be roasted instead of being boiled (looked like diet food - a bit bland taste.. )

The rice was perfect!!!

I really enjoyed the food and will come back to try tajine and pizza!! 😍🤤❤️

We paid for all these 250MAD.

Great dinner. I was happy!

• The chicken skewers were 2 on plate - on picture is only one. *

The only thing - I would recommend use less plastic (2 straws in a drink)... 🤷‍♀️

It looks cute, but it is rubbish.. :( try to use reusable in dine in restaurant :)))

In general, the whole country uses SO MUCH plastics for everything....

After trying over 50 restaurants in Tangier , hands down this the best authentic Moroccan food in Tangier . It is a family owned restaurant . They are very kind to share the family recipe to hungry dinners . I am shocked why the restaurant is not ranked top 1 in TripAdvisor. They use traditional mesquite wood to cook the Tajin. Just to perfection . The goat , wild chicken are my favorite . The goat with no smell and melts in your mouth so yummy . The healthy wheat bread is cooked in wood oven so testy . They have butcher shop in premises , the kabobs meats cuts at the dinner choice cooked to perfection . Above all outstanding customer service and clean . All these for the fraction of the cost what you pay in the tourist trap in the city . 10000% worth few minutes taxi ride from hotel area and venture to locals favorite . You will see all local and Moroccan expats from Europe , full house enjoying the fantastic food . I hope other locations is in the...

Food is very good, with fresh and high-quality ingredients; 1 star missing coz of the slowness

Go if you have sufficient time to waste or wanna have a relax there.

Service is very very slow: The first time we waited over an hour for the grills- which was not nice but acceptable as it usually takes a while to grill chops; the Tajine also meets the average level.

However, The second time we came after 12:30- lunchtime- the waiter took 10 minutes to check with the chef and told us a normal chicken Taijne will take over 30 minutes.

Burger was very nice, with fried egg, chicken and beef; but the salad was tasteless… We have to change the orders to salad and hamburgers- which should be easily prepared - however, it took another 20 minutes for the staff to serve as fork and knife-!?

In total, taking us almost 1hours to have fast food, and we are on our...
