5 Best Restaurants in High Atlas, Morocco

This restaurant located within a riad has stunning panoramic views from the rooftop terrace, along with delicious food. You'll find all the standard Moroccan dishes here, with a nice selection of well-portioned tagines.

This small but clean café and guesthouse is next door to the Kasbah Telouet parking lot and Ahmed, the owner, is very knowledgeable of Glaoui history and can organize tours of the surrounding area. He is also happy to sit and chat as well as feed you well for around 70 DH.

If you do not wish to take a tour, politely make this known toward the beginning of your conversation.

This restaurant that also has a few simple guest rooms is a good stop-off point before the climb to the Tichka Pass. The kitchen is justifiably proud of its reputation and makes delicious french fries and outstanding kefta (spiced minced beef) brochettes. If you want to stay the night, rooms are 200 DH, with breakfast at 25 DH.

This small café right at the summit of Tizi-n-Test is the perfect place to take in the astounding view with some Moroccan cookies and mint tea on beautiful wrought-iron chairs made by the owner's son. It's also a good spot to stop along the road and wander up the hills. 

This rest stop has made more of an effort than most of the others on this route, with a high ceiling and traditionally decorated salon permeated by the unmistakable smell of real coffee. Take a late breakfast or a tagine on the terrace at the back, overlooking a small garden and poppy-dotted fields.
