Éspace Gondwana
Wow! Tucked away to the east of Ouaga, this stunning restaurant is the city's most atmospheric. The restaurant has a courtyard where music is often played, and the three dining rooms are richly adorned with masks (all for sale) and traditional furniture. Each room is themed in a different style - Gourounsi, Mauritanian and a Tuareg tent.

The salads in particular are enormous. In short, we can't recommend this place highly enough.

The 'Asian tapas' menu promiscuously plunders dishes from Japan, China and Southeast Asia and the quality is good. Booking for dinner, when the minimum spend is around 130, is recommended.

Côté Plage
Part of the looming Sofitel, this beachfront café has a nice and elegant decked area where you can sit beneath the shade of giant white umbrellas. You can nibble on tapas (Dh35) as you look out over the ocean for the afternoon or arrive on Sunday for the all-day barbecue.

La Onubense
With its rough-hewn wood furniture and unpolished décor, this place looks like the quintessential tapas bar. The house speciality is spicy bollito de Pringá (meatball) and other classic tapas delicacies.

Timón
If you're lucky you may be able to grab one of just two outside tables on a weeny terrace above the thundering surf. You don't have to push the boat out to sample the delicious seafood tapas here.

Classier than the Onubense across the street, La Cervecería is decorated in Gaudíesque fashion by the Melillan architect Carlos Baeza.

Mesón el Bache
Have your tapas in a rustic hunting lodge. The locals love it. Just downhill from Plaza Real, looking towards the port.
