Dessert restaurants in Morocco

  1. A

    Eis Pub

    Creates concoctions wicked enough to satisfy the most discerning ice-cream connoisseur.

    reviewed

  2. B

    Pâtisserie Glacier Florence

    A good place for a pastry breakfast on the hoof, washed down with a glug of coffee or a healthy fruit juice.

  3. C

    Assouan

    Come here for three things – coffee, cake and a pavement location tailor-made for people-watching. Always busy and popular.

    La Verandah

    Opposite the Royal Tennis Club, this Parisian-style café has a seductive array of sweet and savoury treats and is good for people-watching.

    Pâtisserie Agadir

    This place doesn't have a sign, but it's easily spotted by its piles of sticky pastries. A good takeaway option, or a quick juice and sugar refill.

  6. F

    La Jota

    Offers a delightful array of cakes and ice creams, although the scoops are less than generous. A good place to start – or end – a day of exploring the city.

    Alpha 56

    Popular with the young and trendy, this place has a good selection of pastries. The downstairs can be a little smoky, in which case you can retreat to the salon upstairs.

    Crémerie Skali

    With a good corner location, this is an ideal stop for breakfast – one that’s popular with office workers and families alike. As well as pastries and juice, it can rustle up some mean scrambled eggs.

    Restaurant Des Jeunes

    A simple pavement café, just inside the bab, with a ready supply of mint tea (around DH5). Restaurant des Jeunes serves good spit-roast chicken, tajines and couscous. There's a set menu of soup or salad, main dish and dessert.

    Blue Babel

    The vibe here is similar to that of Assouan, but the location isn't quite as good and the clientele is a bit younger due to the fact that ice cream and pizza join coffee and cake on the menu. The prices are the same as at Assouan.

    Cafe Kortoba

    This café is an institution. When you're tired of all the walking, it's a great (albeit small) place to sit for coffee or mint tea, orange juice, an ice cream or a slice of cake. Bang on the edge of the Kairaouine, there's plenty going on around you.

    Pâtisserie Rahmouni

    Ask a local where to get the best pastries in Tetouan, and they'll probably send you here. The Rahmouni family has a high reputation for its sticky delights, which have the punters queuing deep at breakfast time. Get a juice or coffee to go with your croissant at the stand-up bar at the back.

    Les Palmiers d’Aziza

    With an exterior in bright Marrakesh pink, this popular café offers several options – sit in the sunny garden, hang at the tables near the mouthwatering cookie counter, or head upstairs to the covered terrace away from public view. The latter is a popular choice for boys and girls on dates. The ice cream and smoothies here are excellent.

    Ice Legend

    Your saving grace on scorching afternoons: fresh, locally made ice cream in modern facilities. Go with the tantalizing (if alarmingly bright) fruity varieties - the lemon sorbet here is legendary. To compensate for the male dominance of cafés, women have the run of ice-cream parlours in Morocco, so men should be prepared to surrender their seats gallantly or suffer icy stares.

    Patisserie Al-Jawda

    Care for a sweet, or perhaps 200 different ones? Hakima Alami can set you up with sweet and savoury delicacies featuring figs, orange-flower water, desert honey and other local, seasonal ingredients. Around the corner at 84 Ave Mohammed V, Hakima's savvy son has set up a tea salon featuring his mother's treats plus additional savoury items such as briouats (stuffed pastry 'cigars') and khlii, the seasoned dried Berber beef that's a very acquired taste.

    Pâtisserie Driss

    For morning croissants or an afternoon pastry the best places to go are Pâtisserie Driss (which has a hidden seating area) and Café Faid, both near Pl Moulay Hassan.

    Dar Roumana

    The menu here takes cues from the riad’s name – house of pomegranates. Mediterranean with a Moroccan slant, including some interesting seafood dishes such as swordfish with pomegranates. It all works fabulously, and you eat in the courtyard or in fine weather up on the wonderful terrace. Alcohol is served.
