I arrived during stated opening hours but the place was closed. It looked great from the outside and I will be listening to Jimi Hendrix music to provide myself content that I didn't see in the cafe

I love Jimi Hendrix so I got to come here. It’s a bit far by walk from the central part of essaouira. I recommend to use taxi to come. I enjoyed mint tea and orange juice and tajine by myself. The owner is a very kind person and tajine was tastier than I expected. In total I recommend this place if you’re a music lover or interested in Jimi Hendrix.

The new hotel, restaurant and rooftop is located about 50m away from the one seen on the Google pictures. The food was amazing, and the staff super friendly. We had the plancha! Everything was fresh, and delicious! Visit!

Great place for a coffee after visiting the palace ruins. Playing Hendrix and his image decorates the walls.

Cool tribute to Jimi Hendrix in this restaurant and cafe. I had a cafe for 15 dirham. Lot of cool paintings and photos of Jimi all over the restaurant. Cool relaxing atmosphere in this small village. Take a coffee or lunch break after a horse ride or atv ride. This place is worth a visit along with an atv ride for 1/2 daytrip as well as a visit to the palace nearby and the village peak for panoramic views.
