La Capitainerie

Top choice in El Jadida


In the annexe of L’Iglesia, the decor is retro, the plates and glasses are handmade and the à la carte and fixed-price menus change daily, with a focus on just-caught fish and seafood with a Moroccan twist – perhaps sardines or a fish tajine. The restaurant opens onto a large terrace shaded with olive and palm trees.
