Shyadma's Vegan Food — Restaurant in Essaouira

Very small, independent restaurant exclusively serving vegan food. I had read reviews sayibg food is cooked fresh to order so takes a while. I deliberately arrived earlier than I intended to eat - I think the wat was around 30 minutes. I got pumpkin soup and quince tagine. I saw one of the staff members going out to market to buy ingredients for the food that was ordered. I really love that everything was fresh even if it meant it took more time.

It was good value, less than 100dirhams (£8) for soup, tagine, bread...

We enjoyed every minute there. We tried pumpkin tajine, falafel, avocado salad, spring rolls, mango and orange juice and virgin mojito. All...
