Eating out is surprisingly affordable, compared to Spain, let alone Britain. Fish is wonderful and straight from the boat, but tagines (Moroccan stews) and brochettes (kebabs)are delicious: there is familiar food such as pizza and pasta, as well as interesting local specialities. A couple of minutes walk walk from the complex is an outstanding new restaurant with exceptional food , a few minutes further, a boutique hotel with a convivial bar and excellent restaurant, five minutes further is the reputed best restaurant on the coast, with its traditional damask tablecloths and formal waiters- also a separate lively bar with big screen TV and snooker.
On the left , a few minutes walk from the complex, selling the fish from its owner's boats is an excellent cafe that also sells pizzas from traditional ovens. Eat on the balcony and admire the view on the right.
Below left is a typical meal from an outside cafe in M'diq, costing about £6.00 for two, centre is the buffet of starters from the moutain restaurant on the way to Tetouan. Below right, snails are a delicious complimentary starter, but not comupulsory!

Food Shopping
Food can be ordered in advance and put in the fridge if you wish- there is a small free welcome pack of essentials to start you off anyway.
Four miles away, the huge Marjane supermarket conveniently has everything from sugar to the freshest fruit, fish,spices,even clothes, beds, children’s toys- and a western style café, ice cream parlour, chemist - and ATM for money to pay for it all! A section of the supermarket has all types of alcoholic drink for non- Muslims to buy, at prices slightly below those of the UK. Alcoholic drinks area available in restaurants and hotels, but generally not in small cafes.

However if you enjoy traditional food shopping, groceries, spices, fresh fruit, fish and meat can be bought at the little shops and the markets in M’Diq or Tetouin. Prices are noticeably lower than in the EU. Above fresh vegetables in the market in M'diq, and fish from the fish market. Right- each fresh cheese tastes different and you taste before you buy in Tetouan. |
