Overlooking the lively square at the epicentre of Ouarzazate, Habous is the most popular place in town. It has a patisserie, cafe and restaurant, with plenty of outdoor seating for taking in life on the square. The restaurant side (on the right) serves up salads, brochettes, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas, plus steaks at reasonable prices.
