Dining in Agadir under the stars
The lunches or dinners at the Atlas Kasbah Ecolodge restaurant offer the opportunity to discover the authenticity of Moroccan cuisine thanks to seasonal products with nutritional benefits preserved for the health and vitality of the body. We also offer vegetarian cuisine on request (varied vegetarian menus).
Inspiration
Local Moroccan products such as argan oil, acacia or mountain carob honey, a goat cheese from women’s cooperatives, the exceptional taste of olives and freshly harvested fruits from our retreat, wild almonds growing in the Atlas mountains, a barley couscous traditionally prepared by women, vegetables grown in a preserved land, here is the culinary experience offered at the Atlas Kasbah Ecolodge restaurant to feed all the senses.
Restaurant for the inhabitants of Agadir and non residents at the Kasbah
The restaurant of the lodge and its terrace with the view of Agadir in the distance also accentuate the escape thanks to the magic alchemy between this gastronomic stroll with a thousand and one flavors and the pleasure of the eyes. Indeed, the view embraces the Atlas Mountains rising around. This combined with the mesmerizing colors of the mud on the Kasbah give an unequaled atmosphere to this timeless place.

Criteria of our dishes:
Atlas Kasbah has been a committed member of the climate-friendly menu initiative ever since it was launched by the Sustainable Tourism project of German development agency GIZ and the Moroccan High Commission on Water, Forests and Combating Desertification.
The principle is to offer diners meals with at least a starter, main course and dessert that meet the following three criteria :
Seasonality :
The products are fresh and in season. A fresh, locally grown, in-season vegetable generates 7 times less greenhouse gas (GHG) than a frozen vegetable and 20 times less than an out-of-season imported vegetable.
Plant-based food :
Plant-based food :
Vegetable production generates 10 times less GHG emissions than animal production. We therefore prefer cereals, vegetables, fruits and legumes. To complete the picture, we rely on poultry, rabbit, fish, shellfish,...
Local sourcing :
Local sourcing :
According to the standard of the French association "bon pour le climat", the ingredients must be produced within 200 km. The Souss Massa region is particularly privileged as Morocco's leading fruit and vegetable region and a major supplier of seafood and local products.
Why adopt a climate-friendly menu?
Adoption of a climate-friendly menu offers several advantages, in particular improved traceability of products and formation trust relationships with suppliers ensuring better product quality. Furthermore, it means contributing to protecting the environment via concrete action against climate change.
