There are many good restaurants in Essaouira, especially in the Medina, although the choice is rather limited for vegetarians in the main restaurants. There's a square in the centre with several vegetarian restaurants offering really interesting menus, with some excellent and original dishes. Makes a refreshing change from tagine and cous cous, pasta and pizzas.
