We just happened to see the anthony bourdaine special on tangier when he ate at this fantastic restaurant so we were lucky enough to have lunch here today as we arranged with our tour guide. The food was incredible, authentic, and deserving every praise it gets! The simple pre fixe lunch was well prepared - cooked, grilled, and tangined to... More

Top pick in the Lonely Planet book, good review on here, nice atmosphere on the arrival, all looked ok. Tucked into the starter, drunk litres of an amazing fruit smoothie...then we got served a fish tagine... with pride the manager announced that the tagine is made of all sorts of baby fish, including baby shark. Well that was it. Does... More

Why can’t everywhere be like this? I popped in for Saturday lunch. Full of local families enjoying themselves and the wonderfully fresh and beautifully cooked set menu. Popeye is a great character who is equally welcoming to strangers as he is to his loyal local customers. It’s quite small so you may have to wait a few minutes for a... More

I have been in Tangier 3 months and haven't found a better restaurant than this! The owner is a riot and the rest of the staff is funny and welcoming. It isn't too touristy. The staff certainly knows how to amuse and welcome tourists but it is also a favorite among the locals. (it was recommended to me by my... More

We went here on new year's eve 2012 and had what is possibly the best meal we've had in our entire trip! It was fixed price 200 dirham per person and the menu was fixed as well. You can let them take care of the rest, it was so relaxing. Dish after dish just came through, from appetizer to fish... More

Camera-ready for the World of Interiors magazine, and with a manager/owner who invariably treats the steady stream of customers with banter and jolly teasing, this fish and sea-food restaurant would be worth the visit for décor and welcome alone. But the food… One of our best meals in quite a while, for 200dhr/person: a delightful soup with calamari, a tagine... More

Simply prepared seafood and great antidote to tagine, tagine, tagine - you have to put up with the well rehearsed and repeated schtick of the owner, the set menu and the dubious hygene but it is a funny experience and I did like the simple seafood.

Fantastic place, looks very little from outside except an entry which was barred by a large log!. However the friendly host waved us in and we sat at a large shared table. This is a very basic place in that there are no fancy table settings or menus, but if you love fish you will be delighted. The standard menu... More

It is worth getting to Le Saveur du Poisson early because they get a limited amount of fresh seafood, and when they have finished their stock they will just close up shop! We got there about 7:45pm and there was already a queue, but after about a half hour wait we managed to get in. There are no choices, the... More

Very typical restaurant, amazingly funny staff, succulent food (fixed menu with fish soup, entree, main course and desert, with fruit juice). It worth the 200dhs. Not easy to find, but blue taxi can bring you next to the stairs.
