Chefchaouen, Morocco's blue-washed mountain town, draws travelers from around the world. After a day of wandering its famous alleys, the question is always the same: where to eat in Chefchaouen? This short guide covers what you need to know.
Most restaurants cluster around Plaza Uta el-Hammam and inside the medina, serving Moroccan staples — tagine, couscous, harira. Quality varies, many kitchens close early, and after a few days most travelers crave something different.
For a change of flavor, Mandala Pizzeria on Avenue Hassan II is the city's standout: the top-rated Italian restaurant in Chefchaouen with 4.9/5 from 1000+ reviews. Since 2010 it has served thin-crust pizza baked to order, homemade pasta, fresh salads, burgers, and desserts — inside a blue-façade dining room with stone arches, or on an ivy-shaded terrace.
Mandala sits a short walk from the medina's main sights, on the Avenue Hassan II axis at the Sebanin corner — easy to reach on foot from anywhere in central Chefchaouen, with parking nearby for those driving in from Tangier, Tétouan, or Fès.
