Chez Jamila — Restaurant in Essaouira

Definitely the worst restaurant we've experienced in Morocco in a month of travel. 2 stars for the appetizers and service at the beginning which were fine, but then everything went downhill. Waiter kept coming, each time saying 5 more minutes, but in the meantime didn't bother to clear away the dirty appetizer plates. When (some) of the main course finally arrived it was inedible.

The praces for the food on this street are way cheaper than on some other main streets in Essaouira, Morocco. I recomand to eat in the area, with good traditional food and low prices. They have only a few tables outside, but you can go to the neighbour restaurants, because...
