2 Best Restaurants in Salé, Rabat and Casablanca

The sophisticated restaurant in The Repose riad is a destination in its own right, whether you dine in the courtyard or on the plant-filled roof terrace. The chef uses local ingredients to prepare an entirely vegetarian menu (rare in Morocco); there's a daily-changing, prix-fixe, five-course menu (250 DH), and lighter meals available. Reservations required for nonguests.

One of the swanky restaurants in Salé's modern marina, Al Marsa—meaning "port" in Arabic—serves Spanish food with a Moroccan twist in a glass-enclosed dining room with an expansive terrace overlooking the Bou Regreg River. The menu revolves around fish and seafood—perhaps paella, octopus, or a platter of fruits des mer. Produce is fresh, and the dishes imaginative.
