Eating Out

Asilah's restaurant scene revolves around fresh seafood. Avenue Hassan II, running through the centre of town, is lined with restaurants where the catch comes in from the port the same morning. Paella is a local specialty — a legacy of the town's Spanish and Portuguese connections. Prices are reasonable even by Moroccan standards.

Restaurant La Place, near the Bab Kasbah gate, has a terrace overlooking the fishing port and serves a good range of seafood at fair prices.
