    Well this was a massive surprise we did not expect the quality nor the surrounding that this restaurant / boutique hotel offered. As the name suggests this place specialises in cheese goat and sheep cheese to be specific. We came here for lunch one day and had our best meal in Morocco the portions are huge and all made of local products with some kind of cheese in most dishes. They have a few 3 couse dishes per day, we had the salad but they also had tagine and other local specials available. You get starters, mains and a massive cheese board for desert all for around €20-25 per person. The quality of the food and service was impeccable the cheese is made on site so it’s super fresh and delicious. The staff are really nice speaking some English, French and Arabic. This place is one of the nicest places I have ever had lunch and if you have kids they have camels and goats to keep them occupied. It’s about 6km from Essaouira you can take a taxi there and back its not too expensive.

    A delightful off-the-beaten-track oasis only minutes from Essaouira. We went for cheese (delicious) and ended up staying for hours. A delightful owner who chatted with us; together we put the world to rights! We shall definitely return. (We were also interested by the pottery at the entrance.)

    Excellent place if you like goat's cheese. I went with a large group, and I had the vegetarian menu which was 205 dirham. The menu was two sorts of cheese with olives and bread on arrival then 2 amuses-bouches, a big salad of lettuce, cheese, fruit and herbs, a vegetarian tagine then a platter of 5 different cheeses with bread, fruit and chutney. Well worth a visit. The meat tagines got rave reviews too.

    A wonderful place with great food! It’s like a beautiful and calm oasis. If you love homemade cheese, you have to go there - if you don’t like cheese, go there anyway ;-)

    What a fantastic day. I went with a group of friends for lunch and got to see the animals and enjoy a fantastic meal. This is worth it! One of the best meals I’ve had in Morocco and the people were so lovely!

    Wow! Best fromagerie in Morocco! The staff is very friendly and helpful, we felt so comfortable. Some comments below mentioned the high prices of the menu, but it’s definitely not! (You have to choose one of the menus) but for the price you will get so many dishes to taste, so that in the end it is pretty cheap. If you arrive there by your own car, be aware of the 2 minutes bumping and stoney drive (it is okay if you drive slowly or have a jeep, but you can also leave the car beside the main street) - and watch out, there are few turtles crossing the way. Don’t forget to bring cash (credit cards are not accepted). Thank you for creating such a beautiful place! We will be back soon :-)

    Absolutely beautiful and tranquil place, a 50 dirham taxi ride from Essaouira. Choice of three menus, we had the first one with the large salad and it was delicious. Thoroughly recommended - next time we will come and spend the night.

    We had a lovely visit to La Fromagerie! Great idyllic place with super friendly staff. Had a cheese tasting menu for lunch in the garden, let my belly come to rest in the hammock and got a coffee with fresh roasted beans. Highly recommended!

    What an experience! The place is definitely a hidden gem in the Moroccan countryside, both the interior and the service is heart-warming and feels authentic. The cheese is also excellent and the cute little corner for ceramics is also worth a visit after your culinary experience.

    A true oasis in the middle of the rocky, hot dessert around Essouira! Service is great and the people here immediately invite you to feel at home.

👍👍 One of the best places to go to for a chilled afternoon/sunset time! You’re on the beach, enjoying the sunset while listening to music, prices are fair, yes service is not the fastest but you can go to the bar and ask, that didn’t bother us too much. What you see is what you get :)
