Why eat here
- Taros is Essaouira's landmark rooftop restaurant-bar, set above Place Moulay Hassan with panoramic views of the 18th-century ramparts and the Atlantic.
- The whitewashed terraces, designed by decorator John Quinn, come with a library of art books, a small boutique and a Balearic, bohemian feel.
- It doubles as one of the town's best-loved bars and live-music venues, with regular concerts and DJ sets.
- The kitchen serves Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes alongside sunset cocktails — a rare licensed terrace in the medina.
