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 used in these three courses must be fresh and seasonal. Locally-grown seasonal vegetables produce 7 times less greenhouse gases than frozen vegetables and 20 times less than imported out-of-season fresh vegetables, hence the need to focus on freshness and seasonality.
Plant-based food :
Plant-based food produces 10 times less greenhouse gas emissions than animal-based produce. We focus on cereals, fruit, vegetables and pulses. When meat is used, the focus should be on less carbon intensive meats such as poultry and rabbit, or fish and shellfish.
Local sourcing :
As specified in the standard of the French association for climate-friendly living, ingredients for these dishes must be produced less than 200 km away. Now the Souss Massa region is in a privileged position in this regard, as a key agricultural area which also has seafood and many local products.
Why adopt à 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.
