INCREDIBLE !! The best food in all of Morocco. We enjoyed the mint tea, Pastilla and the Kefta tagine ( small meatballs) . The staff were very friendly and attentive and recommend the yogurt with honey and raisins for dessert. We enjoyed the food so much that we asked about a cooking class for the following day. We reached out to them through google maps messaging and had a reply in minutes. Said ( Si-eed) is the owner and mastermind behind Bab Ssour and restaurant Choirafa. A extremely knowledgeable gastronomer from Morocco. He took us through the market to the butcher shop, produce and spice merchants to buy all of the ingredients for our meal. We toured his restaurant and kitchen and learned about all the things that make Chefchaoen so special. Said took the time to show us how to prepare a very special meal called Tangia which he explained the origin and technique to recreate the dish when we get home. Overall this experience will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Thank you Said and to all the staff we met and for wonderful day off cooking and eating. We hope to take our new knowledge & recipes home to show our friends and family and hope to return soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bab ssour restaurant in the enchanting town of Chefchaouen, and it was truly a delightful experience. The restaurant's location, nestled in the heart of the Blue Medina, sets the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully adorned with traditional Moroccan décor, creating an inviting and cozy ambiance. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu offered an array of Moroccan dishes, and I was blown away by the flavors and presentation. I highly recommend trying the tagine, a true Moroccan specialty. The combination of spices and tender meat was nothing short of mouthwatering. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing glass of mint tea, which was served with impeccable hospitality. The attention to detail in both the service and the food made the entire dining experience exceptional. Lastly, the rooftop terrace at Bab ssour provides breathtaking views of Chefchaouen's famous blue buildings. It's the perfect spot to savor your meal while taking in the picturesque surroundings.

Not sure how this place could be 9th on Tripadvisor. I choose this place after reading the reviews on the popular travel website and felt like it would be a really good lunch. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the waiter and asked to seat on the terrace. The menu looked good and we decided to order a tagine with chicken which my partner loved in the 8 days we have been in Morocco, so he knew really well what to expect. I decided to try a squid prawn tagine and a Chicken Pastilla (which I had the chance to eat once in Ouarzazate and found delicious). We were given some olives and spicy dip to start with, when the main comes we first get the tagine with prawn and squid. As I tried the first mouthful a weird taste hits, I take the second mouthful and I asked my partner to try and I concluded that in some bits had an after taste of ammonium. I voiced my concerns to the waiter (obviously i did not expected it had ammonium in it but some reassurance at least..) but he laughed telling me that there was just tomato paste, squid and prawns. I had to leave it, it just didn’t taste ok. My partner didn’t have much luck either, as previously mentioned he had chicken tagine probably for most of our holidays so he knew already what to expect. Everytime we had a tagine chicken would melt in your mouth so tender it was and often you didn’t need to use a knife. The chicken in the tagine looked like it wasn’t cooked with the rest of the vegetables, was really dry and burned, like it was reheated and added into the mix. Also, the vegetables didn’t mixed together properly with the rest and the flavours were all over the place. The pastilla was probably the only plate I can’t say anything about it as I had it just once before and the one I had in Ouarzazate was really good. To finish, the service was also average, to say the least, waiters on their phones, playing videos and such. Didn’t not feel welcoming at all as in most of the places we have visited. I am sorry but this is the worst places we had food in. Also… at least a plate for the olives stone…

Lovely restaurant with great upstairs seating and amazing views. We went here for dinner on a Friday evening hoping to eat some couscous, but unfortunately arrived too late (around 8pm) as it was already sold out - our bad of course, but just something to be aware of if you want to avoid making the same mistake. We ended up getting a few other things instead, the veggie tagine, beans, the Moroccan salad, and the selection of starters. The last one was recommended by our waiter and he was absolutely right to bring our attention to it, everything on that plate was just heavenly! So many different combinations of flavours, we just loved it. The beans were also really lovely and a little smokey, the salad was nice and refreshing, and the tagine was good, but in its veggie form definitely not the star of the show. You also get more bread than you can possibly eat and a little dish of lovely harissa on the side. Service was also really good and friendly and all of this comes at a very affordable price point, so can only recommend this place!

Zero stars. Disappointing. Spices are cheap In Morocco, it would be great if the chef used some in their dishes! I’ve made Moroccan food several times and I have made these dishes so much better than this supposed good restaurant. None of them were spiced and if so, so mild that it was undetectable. 2 of the vegetable appetizers that we wanted were unavailable at 8pm on Thursday evening in mid November. The chicken briouat (2 x 10MAD) was well baked but the chicken stuffing was dry and had no taste, including salt. The zucchini (15MAD) was passable and portion size generous and again, barely spiced. Undecided on the baisara (15 MAD) since it was our first time eating this. The 3 tagines, which we ordered for the 4 of us (goat, meat/lamb w/plums, beef leg/tendon w/chickpeas) were small portioned and we had to order a 4th Chicken Farmer tagine (expensive 60 MAD for small chicken thigh and drum only olives). We ordered no drinks and our bill was 230MAD/4 pax. I highly recommend going to another restaurant when you are in Chefchaouen.

Tagine Tajine! Of course, you will eat those here. And a very good one as well! We were visiting Chefchaouen for a few hours and looking for something to eat when I found this. If you are like me, stranded by your guide in front of Hotel Madrid, then this place is only 10 minutes away, perfect for you! Beware, though, you need to force your jelly feet and empty stomach going uphill and downhill, just like anywhere in chefchaouen! The waiter was so friendly, but the food was unfortunately prolonged. That was peak lunch time, and I could see the cafe was full, but 60 mins for tajine is too long. We had an awful neighbouring table as well, being fatigued hearing all of our cheerful conversations in English and our wonderful laughs. So beware, locals might not be happy you were there!
