Babakoul

Souss Valley


With a breezy outdoor patio and a crazy mosaic of tiles on the floor, this cool little cafe is a relaxing spot to hang out in after a day's swimming or surfing. The versatile menu veers from crêpes to grills and pizza; the fresh fruit juices and smoothies are also good. Tajines, couscous and bastilla (savoury-sweet pies) are available with advance notice.
