Le Sirocco, Essaouira
Franco-Moroccan restaurant
Le Sirocco is a long-running Franco-Moroccan restaurant in the Essaouira medina, open for around two decades. Known for its warm welcome and nightly live music, it pairs Mediterranean and Moroccan cooking — from grilled lobster to slow-cooked lamb.
Why eat here
- Le Sirocco is a long-standing Franco-Moroccan favourite in the Essaouira medina, run for around twenty years.
- It is loved as much for its warm, personable welcome and nightly live music as for the food.
- The menu spans Mediterranean and Moroccan dishes — grilled lobster, fillet steak, slow-cooked lamb, fish soup and seafood pastilla.
- Save room for dessert: the rzeza and chocolate fondant are regularly singled out by guests.
Cuisine
- Franco-Moroccan and Mediterranean cooking.
- Seafood, grilled meats and Moroccan classics.
Price range
- Mid-to-upper range: à la carte from around 250 MAD, with a typical spend of about 400–450 MAD per person.
Opening hours
- Open daily from around noon until late (roughly 12:00 to 23:45).
Best time
- Evenings are liveliest, with live music; after 8pm it fills up, so booking ahead is wise. Cash is the safe bet.
How to combine
- In the heart of the medina, it works well after an afternoon in the souks or along the Skala ramparts.
