Large roof terrace with great views over Place Moulay Hassan for enjoying the action without getting hassled for donations by musicians and street performers. Also covered roof space and downstairs indoor restaurant. Serve alcohol from the bar, although cocktails are rather feeble compared with beach bars. Quite expensive but some good food choices and some original although a limited range for vegetarians. Live music in the evenings.

There are many good restaurants in Essaouira, especially in the Medina, although the choice is rather limited for vegetarians in the main restaurants. There's a square in the centre with several vegetarian restaurants offering really interesting menus, with some excellent and original dishes. Makes a refreshing change from tagine and cous cous, pasta and pizzas.
