Why open a restaurant in Agadir?
Agadir welcomes tourists all year round, a large community of European expats and retirees, and a local population that eats out more and more. The city is changing fast: a new mall in Founty, a busy marina and seafront, Taghazout Bay moving upmarket, new retail areas on the outskirts. It is a good time to set up, as long as you choose the right location and prepare the opening carefully.
An Agadir restaurant owner on your side
Ali, founder of Le Libanais, has opened several restaurants in Agadir: he started with a street food snack bar, opened a second place, and is now launching a large sit-down restaurant in Agadir Bay and a new venue near Drarga.
He knows the ground: the areas that work, the landlords, the craftsmen, the suppliers and the paperwork. His experience saves you time at every step.

Frequently asked questions
How do you open a restaurant in Agadir?
The main steps are: define your concept and budget, choose the area, find the premises, negotiate the lease, set up the company, get the permits, fit out the kitchen, choose suppliers, hire your team and launch your marketing. We support you at every step, on the ground in Agadir.
Can a foreigner open a restaurant in Morocco?
Yes. A foreigner can set up a company in Morocco and run a restaurant. We put you in touch with the right people (accountant, legal adviser) for company formation and the administrative steps.
Where can I find commercial premises for a restaurant in Agadir?
Premises suited to a restaurant (extraction, size, terrace) are mainly on the seafront, in the city centre, in Founty around Agadir City Center and in new areas such as Drarga. Through our local network we identify available premises, including opportunities that are not yet advertised.
Is it better to rent premises or buy an existing business?
Buying an existing restaurant lets you open faster, with an equipped kitchen and existing customers. Empty premises give you more freedom over the concept and the fit-out. We look at both options with you, based on your budget and timeline.
How much does it cost to open a restaurant in Agadir?
The budget depends mainly on the location, the size, the condition of the premises and the concept (street food or a full dining room). After a first conversation, we give you a realistic estimate for your project.
Do you speak English?
Yes. You can contact us in English or French, and we coordinate with local partners in Arabic and French on your behalf.
