La Coupole — Moroccan Beachfront, Essaouira
La Coupole is located right on Essaouira Beach and offers an unobstructed view of the Atlantic, making you feel like you’re dining on the edge of the world. The combination of the beach setting, the Atlantic horizon, the wind-sculpted dunes, and the kite surfers that Essaouira has made its sporting identity all combine to create a dining environment that cannot be replicated anywhere else on the Moroccan coast.
The cooking is the beach-direct expression of Moroccan coastal cooking: fresh fish from the adjacent harbour, simple preparations that honour the ingredient, and the spices and sauces of the Moroccan tradition applied with the lightness that a beach setting demands.
The drinks programme is cool and refreshing: fresh juices, Moroccan mint tea, and cold drinks that the constant Atlantic breeze makes necessary.
La Coupole is the Essaouira restaurant for the full beach experience: the Atlantic horizon, the kite surfers, the wind, and the most direct possible connection between the ocean and the plate.
