    The bar is right on the beach with a fantastic view. Lots of camels and horses parked up on the sand. Reasonably priced alcohol. Good music. But very very slow service - even for drinks. We didn't try the food but it looked nice.

    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 :)

    The place is really nice the owner is a sweetheart he welcomed us, all the stuff are good except for a girl called samira she was extremely rude to me and my friends and family, we were there for dinner and drinks whenever we go to the bar she doesn't even respond to a hello and she ignores everyone and acts so violently. she also took the money out of my father's hands when he was ready to pay then she ignored him after that. I've never seen such disgusting manners in my whole life and I've been everywhere around the world.

    Food and atmosphere were good, but not overwhelming. If you want some snacks and a nice view, you’re right here. But the music from different boxes from different visitors was a little bit too much.

    Cool place, very surfer like atmosphere. Lots of sofa seats. Good view down to the beach so you can watch kiteboarders etc. The pizza was very good, and they have some very nice juice. They also have be

    An interesting combination of a bar beach and restaurant, with plenty of sand on the tables, cats wandering around, but with surprisingly decent food. While it took forever to have our orders taken, the live music compensated for the wait. Overall, a good place to enjoy the sunset, albeit on the expensive side. Card payment is accepted.

    Tasty drinks and food. Multiple people lit up right behind us after I ordered food which made my throat hurt a little, but it was an open atmosphere so there was some fresh air coming through. Couches to lounge and tables. A dj was playing some club style music. Menu is in Arabic only.

    Delicious food and friendly staff but the location is the biggest selling point: an ideal spot to eat and rest at after a day of beach fun, with camel and horse rides right next door

  • 5/5 Simon V. 9 months ago on Google
    Of the 4 venues at this end of the beach in Essaouira, this was easily our favourite as it has such a relaxed vibe. Amazing views at sunset and the music from next door, was for us with two grown up kids, an added bonus. We came for both brunch and dinner on separate occasions and neither disappointed. Great value and very helpful staff. Just as a beach bar should be!!

    We ordered some drinks 🍻 they served without tapas. It was a bit bad in taste. The atmosphere is good in general and the service was quick. Recommended with friends🤙💯

  • 5/5 Jojo T. 1 year ago on Google
    This whole place is great. This might be the coolest place I’ve ever been in my entire life. We had an incredible pizza and we drank some very wonderful water. Even the old Europeans are great. We might come over here later to drink a nice cold beer.

    The worst costumers service I have ever seen, What’s wrong with the waitress, this girl must be out of her mind, it's not my first time in Beach and Friends, but whenever I get served by this girl she ruined my vibe, she throws the menus right in our face and left, I had to go to the bar and serve my self. I was forced to write this review it was too much to handle I can not even describe her behavior, please somebody talk to her and teaches her some manners, the place is nice but it worth nothing with an awful service.

  • 5/5 Sharon C. 10 months ago on Google
    By Moroccan standards, this place is pricey, but for a great steak filet dinner with a good bottle of wine, live music, and a sunset view of the beach it was well worth it. Love this place.

    They have no respect for there clients .I'm living in Essaouira Long time ago and I'm struggling all the time with the service and in the entrance also , they ask you to pay in the entrance out of no where even if you are all the time in the place , I'm not happy to write this review but I think this kind of reviews gonna help them work More about there repetition. who's is the important clients

    Loved the spot with camels and horses as company There were a few salesmen hawking there wares but all very good natured they seem to be sanctioned by the restaurant. Shame that you feel a little pressured when you’re sitting and relaxing. Other than that nice place we only stayed for a beer but will be returning to eat at some point.

    Live music, the singer has a nice soft voice, best for Sunday night. Tasty strawberry mojito. Comfy sofa comes with cute cats.

  • 1/5 Joris A. 1 year ago on Google
    Service very bad, we had to wait for >1 hour for 3 persons lunch. After several requests to the waiter, nothing improved. Another waiter arranged for us finally a quick service. That was appreciated but the result was that the salmon was totally not baked. Don't recommend to enter this place.

    One of my favorite places in the city, it has direct access to the beach, opens all day, great food, and a nice place to grab a drink or just coffee and watch sunset 🌅 The spot is just lovely and cozy and the team working there are lovely as well !

  • 5/5 Asmae 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice and cozy place with splendid vue of the beach and good music situated at the far end of the beach from the Medina (less than 4min by cab and around 20min a pied) . It has many setups so you have a large selection of spaces to sit in, my favorite was the sun loungers were you can lay back and soak in the sun and the incredibly view of the beach and camels /horses passing by. The service is sometimes a little bit slow (i had a hard time getting the attention of staff members) plus you get disturbed with hawkers trying to sell stuff.. Still, will definitely go back there

  • 1/5 Magic M. 1 year ago on Google
    We paid money to get into this place, then had the worst customer service ever at the bar. Waited 45 minutes for a glass of wine . The person accepting the money is really rude and stressed, let my friend get a last drink who is european but not me . Won't be back and I don't recommend... The music was just okay

  • 5/5 Osian ap G. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, easy going beach-joint with plenty of space to hang out during the day. Read a book without pressure to get another round in. Western-afro-funk music keeps the place feeling chilled and beachy. Nice internal space to shelter from the wind when the surf is high. Decent prices, decent food,

    Had a great lunch at the place the other day. It was perfect. This restaurant is frequented by foreigners because of the relaxed ambiance. The food was excellent. Try their rib-eye steak and the levant grilled chicken. You would never go wrong.
