El Morocco Club

El Morocco Club is a polished restaurant on Place du Tabor in the Tangier kasbah, northern Morocco, serving traditional Moroccan dishes alongside modern Mediterranean seafood plates. It sits at the upper-mid end of the city's dining scene, with typical spending of about 300-500 MAD (roughly $32-54) per person. The kitchen mixes local and international influences: seafood couscous is the traditional anchor of the menu, while fish risotto, sea bream ceviche and tuna tataki reflect a more contemporary approach shaped by the fresh catch from Tangier's port. Visitors who want a lighter meal often assemble a table of starters such as the ceviche and tataki, while those after a heartier Moroccan plate order the couscous. The dining room is stylish and atmospheric, set in the kasbah square with decorative Moroccan details and a more refined feel than the average medina eatery. The mood is relaxed and slightly dressy, so smart-casual clothing is typical, and evenings tend to be calmer and more romantic than lunchtime. The setting is close to the Kasbah Museum and the viewpoints over the Strait of Gibraltar, which makes it a natural choice after a walk through the upper medina. As a venue that serves a broader international clientele, it offers a drinks list beyond mint tea, though visitors who want a specific wine or cocktail should confirm availability on arrival. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner, with hours best confirmed on arrival. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly at weekends and in high season; a practical approach is to walk in during the afternoon to book a table for the evening. For larger groups, booking a day or more ahead is advisable. The combination of kasbah location, seafood-led menu and polished service makes the restaurant a good option for special-occasion dining in Tangier.
