Kasr Al Assil
قصر الأصيل
An ornately decorated yet welcoming Moroccan restaurant offering great value pastillas and tagines, highly recommended by food bloggers.
Located at 39 Rue Youssef Ibn Tachfine, this restaurant has a palace-like decor but a welcoming atmosphere. It is Will Fly for Food's favorite traditional restaurant in Rabat, known for its excellent value for money. The specialties are pastilla, royal chicken trid (rfissa), and chicken or beef tagines, while couscous is reportedly only served on Fridays. Most reviews praise the taste and service, though some 2026 reviews complained that the tagines were a bit greasy. Some reviews state it is cash-only, so it is recommended to prepare cash; Sunday opening hours vary by source, so it is best to call and confirm before going.
Opening hours
