Atlantic Coast - Morocco - page 426

( 0523 34 25 79; Port du Jadida; mains Dh80; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat, lunch Sun) Head upstairs
for excellent views over the port and ramparts from one of El-Jadida's best restaurants,
naturally focused on fish and seafood, cooked simply but well. The atmosphere is pretty
mellow, which makes it a comfortable spot for women, and - joy of joys - it's licenced.
