A
Riad Saada
This is a classic Moroccan experience, from the endless plates of food (soup, couscous, tajines, salads, kebabs, grilled cakes) to the entertainment (belly dancing, traditional musicians) to the superb setting, including a spectacular open ceiling with an enormous pendulum lamp, two golden throne chairs for weddings and beautiful carved plaster walls. Enter via Bab el-Okla, turn right immediately, take second left at Optique Seffar, and you will see the entrance, a very long tiled corridor.

B
Palace Bouhlal
A sumptuous palace with plush couches, wall rugs, intimate dining spaces (especially upstairs), gurgling fountains and a grand Moorish arch complementing the usual four-course meal. Follow the lane north around the Grande Mosquée and look for signs directing you down a tiny alley. Be sure to duck into Les Secrets des Plantes first, on the right just before the entrance, where 670 spices line the walls.

Snack Taouss
Known for its burgers and chips, this little snack bar also does decent, inexpensive pizzas, salads, harira (lentil soup), tajines and more. There’s a small seating area upstairs (handy if you’re waiting for a pizza), or you can eat on the move. If it’s full, there’s a similar place, 10 Mai, next door.

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.

Salon de Thé Panorama Vista
Tetouan's trendiest café, this hotel café has quite glorious views over the Rif Mountains. It's always busy but, even if you don't manage to grab a window seat, the salon is a lovely place wherever you sit. Waiters work hard, and you'll need to do the same to grab their attention.

Pizzeria Roma
This pizzeria has a bright fast-food style interior, with the scooter outside services the home-delivery business. The food is good with several vegetarian options to satisfy the stomach, while the wood oven gives the place a pleasing aroma (the false fireplace is fooling no one!).

Café Pâtisserie SMIR
On a corner in the heart of the pedestrian way, SMIR is a popular place for a coffee or pastry. There are two options: the tables strung along the pavement to watch the world go by, or the quiet seating area upstairs, which is notable for the groups of women it often attracts.

Restaurant Restinga
The open-air courtyard covered by a canopy of eucalyptus is this charming restaurant’s primary attraction – along with the rare alcohol license. It’s a great place to duck out of the crowded boulevard for a rest and a beer, as well as some seafood from the coast.

Restaurant Saigon
Grilled fish, plus a few Moroccan standards, rather than anything Vietnamese, is the order of the day at Saigon. The food is excellent, and it can get crowded at lunch time, so make sure you head upstairs to grab a table away from the throng.

Dallas
Yes, named after the TV show, but otherwise the name has no bearing on this place, a patisserie stacked to the rafters with plates of pastries. This is where local families come to load up on sweets. One block off Ave Mohammed V.

La Isla Boccadillos
One of the cheapest places in town to sate your appetite is this snack bar just outside the bus station offering a variety of sandwiches, kofta (mincemeat and spices grilled on a skewer) and salads with rice.

Snack Yousfi
Fill up on a sandwich here for lunch and you might not be hungry again until breakfast. Baguettes are stuffed to overflowing with various fillings, topped out with salad and a handful of chips. Great value.

Heladería Atlas
This place is great for a refreshing vitamin C fix, squeezing and mixing up a great selection of juices and smoothies. There is no seating area: slug it back and keep moving.

Le Printemps Salon du Thé
A good breakfast option, Le Printemps has a large interior, with a slightly upscale feel, seemingly designed for losing hours over the newspapers.

-
Central Market
Central Market has a good display of fruit, vegetables and other fresh foods, especially with fish up from the coast (closed Friday).

Oahda
A female-friendly café, not as nicely appointed as Jenin but just as popular with locals. A bit claustrophobic on the upper floor.

Restaurant Albahr
Nothing fancy here – fried foods, burgers and fish and chips – but they do it well and the price is right. Salads a plus.

Paninni
Made to order sandwiches make this a standout option. Choose from a smorgasbord of ingredients both normal and exotic.

There is a mass of fresh fruit and veg for sale in the medina on the road leading east to Bab el-Okla.
