A fillip in the cooking holiday week - Dar Na Cafe.
Focus on our Wednesday lunchtime slot and our favourite cafe.
Wednesday's is a rest day from the cooking holiday workshops so we head to souk Idagouard for the morning market where there's the chance to see the Argan forest and photograph donkeys and the vast array of fresh fruit and veg. Afterwards we take a 30 minute drive to the beautiful location of Sidi M'Bark on the coast where Said and Helen run a cafe & restaurant. Located 35 km from Essaouira, Morocco, in a traditional Berber village, Dar Na overlooks the river valley, oasis and the sea to make your lunch spot truly idyllic. Salads, freshly grilled sardines and Tagines are all extremely well prepared and presented. We've been coming here 18 months since the cafe first opened and it's one of the most satisfying things to do in Essaouira...simply very little once you arrive at the peaceful spot.
The cafe is a green design dream, an eclectic mix of recycled materials assembled and painted by Said himself. No formal training he'll modestly venture. Afterwards we normally take a pleasant walk down the valley along the river to reach the waterfalls next to the sea but not before enjoying what Said can rustle up for you. Dar Na's website can be seen here.http://www.darnacaferestaurant.com/index.htm
