15 Best Restaurants in Agadir (2026 Guide)

Agadir in 2026 splits into three distinct dining scenes: the Marina waterfront lined with yachts, the seafront strip along Boulevard du 20 Août and the bay, and the city core around Avenue Hassan II. From award-winning Italian tables to Japanese sushi counters, dinner-show cabarets and specialty coffee roasters, the MaJourneys local team walked every address for this pick of Agadir's 15 best restaurants. Reserve free, no card, pay on arrival.

1. Restaurant Vanisca

Vanisca sits a short walk from the beach promenade on Avenue El Houssine Achengli (Imm. Mimosas, Sonaba), a long-running French-Italian favourite of Agadir Bay. The halal menu leans hard on seafood: sole stuffed with prawns in shrimp sauce, seafood risotto, pil-pil prawns, and avocado-and-shrimp salad. Around 150–200 MAD per person, with valet parking, outdoor seating, and complimentary olives, bread and mint tea.

2. Zanzibar Restaurant

Zanzibar Restaurant is the lounge inside Hotel Riu Tikida Beach in Agadir's Zone Touristique. The kitchen mixes Mediterranean and Moroccan with French and Jewish accents, and the evening programme — live saxophone, reggae bands, Gnawa, dancers and the in-house Zanzishow — pulls a smart-casual crowd from across Agadir. Open daily 13:00–02:00.

3. Kyoto Sushi Agadir Bay

Kyoto Sushi Agadir Bay is the tourist strip's most established Japanese counter, part of a small Moroccan chain with a Casablanca sister branch.

7. La Scala

La Scala has anchored Agadir's fine-dining scene since 1994, on Rue Oued Souss (Complex Tamlalet, Secteur Touristique).

Service runs 12:00–16:00 and 19:00–01:00 daily, with a free pickup shuttle from Agadir hotels.

8. Little Italy

Little Italy has been Agadir's reference Italian address since 2004, on Avenue Hassan II opposite Place Al Amal. Chef Fabrizio Anzini cooks thin-crust wood-fired pizza, fresh pasta, plus rotating trio del mare and trio della terra antipasti. Open daily 12:00–23:00, expect around 300 MAD per person à la carte — the pistachio tiramisu is singled out repeatedly in reviews.

9. Mamma Caterina

Mamma Caterina is the marina's most genuinely Italian table — small, owner-run, tucked at Quai West résidence 4 (local nM9), opposite the Pirates of the Caribbean replica ship. Homemade pasta and wood-fired pizza anchor the menu: caprese with burrata, penne all'amatriciana, classic carbonara, seafood pasta and a tiramisu reviewers single out. Eight outdoor tables, four indoor, open daily 09:00–24:00.

10. Buddha-Bar Agadir

11. Le Tapis Rouge by Little Norway

Le Tapis Rouge by Little Norway sits in Agadir's Secteur Touristique, near the seafront hotels and Corniche opposite Casino Mirage.
