La Table by Madada
A French-Moroccan seafood restaurant in a boutique hotel in the old medina, known for its baked spider crab and salt-baked sea bass.
Located at 7 Rue Youssef El Fassi in the old medina, inside the Madada Mogador hotel. Converted from a former warehouse, it has stone walls and vaulted ceilings, and jazz or guitar performances are often held in the evening. The menu focuses on seafood in a French bistro style. Signature dishes include baked spider crab, sea bass baked in salt and filleted at the table, Dakhla oysters, sea bream tagine, and clam pasta. There are also meat and vegetarian options. Starters cost about 110-170 dirhams, and the average is about 350-500 dirhams per person, which is expensive by local standards. Open for dinner only, closed on Tuesdays. Booking is recommended.
