Restaurant Bachir
A local, no-frills diner outside the Medina offering incredibly cheap tagines and authentic local flavors like cow's trotters with chickpeas.
Located on Rue Zyriabe near the Medina, this is a budget-friendly diner highly popular with locals. The menu features various tagines, skewers, grilled fish, lentils, and beans, with couscous served on Fridays, alongside traditional dishes like cow's trotters with chickpeas, sheep's brain, and sheep's head tagine. Tagines cost about MAD 20–45, and only cash is accepted. It gets very crowded at lunch, often requiring a wait. The environment and restrooms are basic, and recent reviews are somewhat mixed—some praise it as cheap and delicious, while others find it bland. Some dishes may sell out when fully booked. Ideal for travelers looking to experience authentic local street food.
