A Mediterranean fusion table where the Atlantic breeze meets Moroccan soul — slow lunches, candlelit dinners and cocktails until late, behind a quiet blue door of the Medina.
Behind a worn blue door on Rue de Marrakech, Dar Baba unfolds like a secret riad — pink walls, brass lanterns, ivy climbing toward an indigo ceiling. We cook the way Essaouira feels: half Atlantic, half Sahara, always generous.

Step inside through our blue door — Moroccan craft, Mediterranean warmth and the soft hum of the Medina carried in by the Atlantic breeze.
"An absolute jewel hidden in the Medina. The squid-ink paella was breathtaking, the cocktails inventive, and the staff treated us like family."
"Walked in for dinner, stayed until 1am for the Gnawa session. The pink walls, the lanterns, the food — Essaouira in a single room."
"The Mrouzia lamb melts in your mouth. Service is warm without being intrusive. Easily our favourite table in Morocco."
"A spritz on the rooftop while the call to prayer floats over the Medina — pure magic. The burrata was the best I've had outside Italy."
"Beautifully designed space, intelligent fusion menu, and the kindest welcome. We came back three nights in a row."
