restaurant la réception — Restaurant in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

Reading the reviews and the fact it's near my Riad I dined here on a late Monday afternoon.

It's on a side street just off a larger one and had a chalkboard sign next to a door. I ventured in and as I started to climb the stairs I was told that the restaurant is on the top floor. I think the top floor is the 5th.

There is a reason this place has a rating of 5 stars as it has wonderful food, great service, and a good atmosphere. I had the Verde Te (mint tea) and the Targin Veganos (no meat and instead had falafels). Both were served hot and tasted as good as they looked. The tea wasn't as sweet as I have had which was good and the flavors of the targin were great and not salty which I appreciated. The view of the harbor is yet...

Had a great meal with the wife. After going to the roof and appreciating the view we opted to avoid the sun and eat indoors. Everything was great. It started with the olives, somehow they were the best ones we've had during our stay in Tangier. And then we had a couple of the less-traditional meals that we haven't seen on other menus in the area. We were catered on attentively, but not pressured or rushed. To round it off the total for 2 meals and 3 drinks was less than 150. Definitely recommend - perhaps we'll be back again, later in the day next time though so we can appreciate the rooftop...

Luckily we stumbled upon this absolute gem. The owner and chef is one of the friendliest persons I've met. Really humble and grateful guy who loves to cook for you.

The food is also excellent. We had vegan burgers, which tasted amazing and were really big, and on the next day we enjoyed a vegan tajine with falafel balls in it. Really great, especially for the prize.

In addition to that, the atmosphere was great. The rooftop offers a 360° panoramic view. On our first visit at evening time there was also a live band, which was really nice.

This place is something special. Definetly...
