Cafe Mauresque

I came here for lunch on a rainy Saturday and I am so glad I did! The halloumi sandwich was so yummy and the date pudding was delightful. Although it said ice cream on the menu, they brought me cream but that was soon rectified. The whole decor and bathrooms were beautiful also. The staff were friendly and the vegan menu was very accommodating.

We had the tapas dishes which were more Spanish inspired. Every dish was good and we had some house wine as well. We wanted to book a table over the phone but there were none available at the time. In the end, we managed to get a table without a booking or queuing. It was overall a nice environment and dinner.

The ambience and decor is amazing and you really feel like you're in Morocco. Its really cosy (and you can comfortably be socially distanced). The food was great and there were many vegan options. The houmous, aubergine stew, calamari and pork belly were top notch, everything was well seasoned. Tea was a bit over priced.

I ate here on a Wednesday evening in September. The restaurant has a very pleasant feel; softly lit, uncrowded and relaxed. I was visiting Canterbury and Cafe Mauresque was recommended by the owner of the B&B where I was staying. Located centrally, close to the Cathedral, one of the best local options. Plenty of vegetarian options and generally a varied menu. Food was very good quality, so much so that I splurged on an indulgent dessert. Staff friendly and attentive. No complaints!

Good food, Great service, beautiful atmosphere. This cozy restaurant offers large and small dishes of Spain and Morocco and is great for tapas and tangines. Loved the separate vegan menu with a plethora of choices. While I prefer food with a little more spiciness and flavor, everything here was fresh and appetizing. Very lovely staff. Beautiful, authentic decor and music.

We stumbled upon this restaurant after walking into town, both hungry for Tapas and boy did they not disappoint! Starting with the warm welcome, we were lead downstairs with a choice of tables. The waitress was attentive but not too in your face and her timings for service were spot on. As we hadn’t been before she talked through the menu and left us to our own devices. We had six dishes and a bottle of white wine, all were delicious and hit the spot! We even had space for dessert, which was also top notch. I’ve given the restaurant a 5 out of 5 as we both enjoyed our visit and will recommend to family and friends. Well done Cafe Mauresque!

We were looking for something different for lunch but not the usual pizzas and burgers that seem so common in this area. We spotted this place while walking around and popped in. The staff were friendly and helpful, answering questions we had about the menu. Service was quick and the food excellent. The building itself has plenty of character and well worth the visit. We had tapas this time but will return and try something different from the menu.
