Borj Eddar
Alongside the Restaurant de la Plage, Borj Eddar serves a similar menu of seafood and grilled fish. There's little to choose between them: both have glass-fronted terraces overlooking the ocean.
-
Café de la Jeunesse
Just down the road from the Libération and more a large hole-in-the-wall than a proper sit-down affair, this basic place is great for brochettes, sandwiches and tajines.
-
Café Maure
Sit back, relax and just gaze out over the estuary to Salé from this chilled little open-air café near the Andalusian Gardens. Mint tea is the thing here, accompanied by little almond biscuits delivered on silver trays. It's an easy place to while away some time writing postcards and a relaxed venue for women.
-
Café Weimar
This hip café in the Goethe Institut is where the young and beautiful hang out for cake and coffee. It also does a simple Mediterranean menu and is a good spot for Sunday brunch.
-
Cafetéria du 7ème Art
Set in the shady grounds of a cinema, this popular outdoor café attracts a mixed clientele of students and professionals. It's a relaxed place but the noise of passing traffic makes it less tranquil than the Café Maure.
-
Galapagos Café
This slick café with dark wood panelling, sleek contemporary furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows makes a good stop in Agdal. It's popular with young professionals for its ice cream, crêpes, panini, pizza and people-watching.
-
L'Entrecôte
The menu and attitude at this upmarket restaurant in Agdal are very French but the dark woods and rough plaster are more reminiscent of Bavaria than Bordeaux. Steak, fish and game specialities dominate the classic French menu and to further confuse the ambience there's jazz or traditional Spanish music by night.
-
La Dolce Vita
The Italian owners of La Mamma restaurant in Ville Nouvelle have expanded their empire to include this tiny, but oh-so-delectable, ice-cream parlour next door. Over 40 flavours of traditional, home-made Italian gelato are on offer, all of them rich, creamy and cold.
-
La Mamma
It doesn't look too much from the outside, but this modest little place serves some of the best pizza and pasta in town. The beamed ceilings and candlelit tables add a touch of romantic atmosphere and the wood-fired pizzas and grilled meats will leave you planning a return visit.
-
Le Fuji
Simple, pared-back design and authentic Japanese dishes make this tranquil place a welcome break from the fanfare and traditional menus of other Rabat restaurants. Go for delicious sushi, sashimi or tempura or fill up on one of the colourful bento boxes. A good option for vegetarians.

Le Grand Comptoir
Sleek, stylish and oozing the charms of an old-world Parisienne brasserie, this suave new restaurant and bar is wooing customers with its chic surroundings and classic French menu. Candelabras, giant palms and plenty of gilt mirrors adorn the grand salon while a pianist tinkles in the background. Go for the succulent steaks or be brave and try the andouillette (tripe sausage) or veal kidneys.
-
Le Petit Beur - Dar Tajine
This modest little place is renowned for its excellent Moroccan food, from succulent tajines to one of the best pastillas in town. It's a little sombre at lunchtime but livens up at night when the waiters double as musicians and play loud music to accompany your meal.
-
Le Ziryab
This chic Moroccan restaurant is in a magnificent building just off Rue des Consuls. The blend of old world character and stylish contemporary design is also reflected in the excellent menu of interesting variations on tajine, couscous, pastilla and grilled meat and fish.
-
Pâtisserie Lina
Mountainous cakes in elaborate guises adorn the window displays at this traditional French patisserie. Come for breakfast and you may find yourself returning for an afternoon sugar fix just so you can try some more of the tantalising gateaux on display.
-
Pâtisserie Majestic
There's slightly less fanfare than you can expect at Pâtisserie Lina but the cakes are just as good. It is conveniently located in the centre of town.
-
Restaurant de la Libération
Cheap, cheerful and marginally more classy than the string of other eateries along this road (it's got plastic menus and tablecloths), this basic restaurant does a steady line in traditional favourites. Friday is couscous day when giant platters of the stuff are delivered to the eager masses.
-
Restaurant de la Plage
Overlooking the wide, sandy beach below the kasbah, this place specialises in fresh grilled fish and seafood.
-
Restaurant Dinarjat
A favourite with locals and visitors alike, this traditional Moroccan restaurant is set in a 17th-century house at the heart of the medina. It's wildly fanciful with Andalusian-style palace décor and belly dancers sashaying across the lush carpets. The food is traditional Moroccan with local specialities like pastilla on the menu. Book in advance.
-
Restaurant el-Bahia
Built into the outside of the medina walls and an excellent spot for people-watching, this laidback restaurant has the locals lapping up hearty Moroccan fare. Choose to sit in the pavement terrace, in the shaded courtyard or upstairs in the traditional salon.
-
Riad Oudaya
This lovely restaurant squirreled away behind a wooden door in the depths of the medina is reason enough to come to Rabat. Set in a gorgeous riad, it dishes up gourmet five-course dinners featuring anything from juicy tajines or pastilla to stuffed calamari.

Tajine wa Tanja
Down-to-earth Moroccan dishes are the speciality at this small, friendly restaurant near the train station. Choose from a range of wood-fired grills or tajines prepared to traditional recipes or make a special outing for the magnificent Friday couscous. It's a fairly quiet spot, and not so intimidating for women travelling alone.
