Le Loft, Essaouira
Modern seafood restaurant
Le Loft is a sleek, contemporary seafood restaurant in the Essaouira medina, known for refined fish dishes and warm wooden decor. Expect crab tartare, grilled John Dory and shrimp in saffron cream, with options for non-fish eaters too.
Why eat here
- Le Loft is one of Essaouira's go-to modern seafood restaurants, set in the medina with a warm, contemporary wood-lined dining room.
- The kitchen turns the day's Atlantic catch into refined plates rather than simple grills.
- Signature dishes include crab tartare, grilled John Dory, monkfish in white sauce and shrimp in saffron cream.
- It is on the pricier side for the medina but consistently praised for quality and presentation; there are options for non-fish eaters.
Cuisine
- Modern seafood cooking built on the Atlantic catch.
- Refined plates and sauces; some non-fish options available.
Best time
