Delicious and cheap - Edit
Our best meal in Morocco loves the range of vegan starters particularly. Food came out extremely fast and the price was cheap! We ordered lots of vegan dishes without issue. Not a touristy place at all

Really good affordable option - Edit
We went for the Friday veggie couscous special but we went at 4pm and they did not have it. But upon explaining we are vegetarian, the server was helpful with getting us some good food. One was a tasting platter with rice and a lot of different vegetable dishes in small portions, so good!! We also got the lentil and white bean dishes which we ate with the provided bread. We also a Moroccan salad, a second helping of bread and a 1.5 L water and the total was 75dirham. We felt like we got a great meal for a good price and left very full.

Delicious Moroccan food - Edit
Cosy family run restaurant. Had the lentils and harira soup, both delicious. Lentils were earthy, flavoursome and a good portion size.

Would recommend it - Edit
We chose this place because of many good reviews on Happy Cow. However we were disappointed and had to leave: staff new nothing about veganism and only one of them good speak English. He said «Vegan food? Yes, of course, we have vegan food. Would you like meat? Oh, you don’t like meat?”. And we also didn’t like the atmosphere there. No labels for the vegan options on the menu. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there, there are 2-3 other places in the city with nice vegan options.

The staff here are so friendly, and welcoming. While the vegan options are not labeled they speak excellent English, as well as many other languages to help you navigate the menu.
Read moreVegetable couscous is offered Friday. Vegetable tagline, of course. My favorite was the malva and green zucchini. Although frankly everything we tried there was delicious.
Lentils, chickpeas, white beans, red beans, pumpkin, eggplant, harira, Moroccan salad, tomato & red peppers, everything so good. Paired with the olives and bread, I always walked out full and happy.
Pros: Delicious, Many options, Friendly staff
Cons: Can get very busy

A truly nice place for tourists... - Edit
... That does not try to pull you off the street. Nice interior, English spoken and many intetesting plant dishes - lentils, beans etc in different sauces and herbs. Prices are great, too. I had soup, three types of plants with bread, olives and tea for 55 MAD.

Food was okay, nothing special - Edit
The waiter showed me the items on the menu that were vegan. I had the vegetable tagine which was basically just potatoes, carrot and chickpeas. For what it was it was fine. It was really busy so the service took a while.
Read morePros: Nice vibe, Helpful staff, Good ingredients
Cons: Simple dishes, Small portions, Crowded

Nice and local feeling - Edit
I liked that They have more than just tagine- also soup and lots of different extras. They offer to mix up a full dinner for you - and they cook different things each day so stay open minded.

Vibrant restaurant with vegan choices - Edit
The only vegan that I met while traveling in Morocco was a waitress at Bab Ssour. The menu doesn't list which items are vegan, but she told me all of my options. What a relief to speak with someone who actually understands my needs and to feel confident in the veganosity of my meal.
Read moreThis is a very fun and lively restaurant aimed at tourists, so it's always filled with people from all over the world, but with excellent Moroccan cuisine. The people working there speak many languages and I are wonderfully welcoming. Great prices. I kept going back!
Over the course of a few visits I had the vegetable tagine, moroccan salad, and bread dipped in the lentil stew, white bean stew, chickpeas, and eggplant dip. Veggie couscous was available one of the days I went and was excellent.

Left much to wish - Edit
Quite fascinating that the day that I went to have a dinner at this restaurant, they had minimal options for vegans. There were no beans, lentils or chickpeas, neither there were eggplants or zucchini. I had to choose between veg tagine, Moroccan soup and tomato+pepper dip. Meat eaters seemed to enjoy their meals though...
Read morePros: Unlimited amount of bread and dips
Cons: Only few options from the menu were available

Great option - Edit
Very good food at cheap prices (I had 2 things at 12dh per item). Provided free olives, a huge piece of bread, and 2 dips. Nice staff. Vegan items aren't marked, need to ask them.

Delicious Home-Cooking - Edit
A fabulous small eatery, 1 minute from the main plaza, (Plaza Uta el-Hammam) where all the restaurants are. Follow the road around after Pizza Haji, Paloma Restaurant, easy to find. If you are tired of the usual vegetable couscous and vegetable tangine (although available) this is the place. Well decorated and friendly ambience, this is Moroccan homecooking made from the heart and inexpensive. There are meat dishes served but a good number of vegetarian dishes, various beans, lentils, soups, green peppers and tomatos, zucchini salads, all the regular Moroccan salads. If you want a particular vegetable available in the market, just ask Sahid and he will do his best. Sahid said if there was greater demand for more vegetarian dishes, he would love to expand the vegetarian menu, he said that he has some great ideas on vegetarian dishes, he said this is more what Moroccans eat at home. This is more homecooking than restaurant food. Do try the yoghurt deserts, one with date syrup and carob. For Japanese people, Sahid speaks fluent Japanese. Friday lunch is Cousous only.
