Cafe Hafa

Tangier


A 10-minute walk west from the medina is this beloved sea-facing cafe with what many locals consider Tangier's best view. Opened in 1921, Cafe Hafa mainly serves tea and coffee, but spaghetti, pizza and burgers are also available (mains Dh30 to Dh60). Next to the cafe are cascading terraces where lovebirds young and old catch the sunset, tea in hand.
