Bistro Kao — Beach Bistro in Sidi Kaouki

French-Moroccan cuisine on the Atlantic shore

Welcome to Sidi Kaouki

Nestled in the surf village of Sidi Kaouki, just a short wind-swept drive from Essaouira, Bistro Kao is a warm gathering place where French-Moroccan cooking is savoured with sand between your toes. Catch-of-the-day, fragrant tagines, and homemade pastries share the table in a convivial atmosphere, lulled by the gentle roar of the Atlantic.
