Ocean Vagabond — Moroccan Coastal, Essaouira
Ocean Vagabond captures a free-spirited, bohemian vibe while offering stunning ocean views. Sitting on their terrace, watching the waves crash against the ancient ramparts while enjoying fresh seafood, feels like the essence of what makes Essaouira magical — a description that is both accurate and genuinely felt by the visitors who have made it one of the city’s most consistently recommended tables.
The cooking is coastal Moroccan at its most natural: the fresh catch of the day prepared with the spices and chermoula marinades that the Essaouira fishing tradition has developed, served with the directness that a terrace above the Atlantic demands.
The drinks programme celebrates the coastal setting: fresh fruit juices, Moroccan tea, and the cold drinks that the constant Atlantic wind makes welcome.
Ocean Vagabond is the Essaouira restaurant for those who want the full sensory experience of the windy city: the ocean, the waves, the ramparts, the seabirds, and the freshest available fish.
