About This Spot

Stepping into L'îlot Châtain is like finding a quiet haven by the sea where time slows down just enough to savor simple, heartfelt moments. Nestled along Av. Mohamed Belkhadir in Safi, this breakfast and casual dining spot greets you with the gentle hum of ocean waves and the soft light of morning or afternoon sun filtering through open windows. The atmosphere is calm and unpretentious, inviting you to breathe in the fresh Atlantic breeze while absorbing the understated charm of a place that feels quietly woven into its coastal surroundings.

Here, the rhythm is relaxed—neither rushed nor intrusive—perfect for lingering over a cup of rich espresso or freshly brewed mint tea. The approachable menu mirrors the laid-back mood, offering dishes that feel lovingly prepared, with touches that evoke local flavors and the richness of the sea. Whether it’s a hearty plate of paella shared between friends or a simple chicken sandwich enjoyed while gazing out toward the water, every bite seems thoughtfully connected to the scenery and spirit of Safi.

The experience at L'îlot Châtain is as much about the warmth in the service as the food itself. Attentive staff bring a personal touch that makes visitors feel seen and cared for, turning a casual meal into a moment of genuine hospitality. It’s a place where returning guests are welcomed like old friends, celebrations are quietly celebrated, and the flow of conversation blends naturally with the sound of the waves.

Whether you arrive for a comforting breakfast, a light lunch, or just to pause and sip a café macchiato while watching boats drift by, L'îlot Châtain offers a quiet, respectful space to connect—with food, with place, and with the people who make this coastal slice of Morocco feel just a little more like home.

5/5 stars! My husband and I had a wonderful breakfast at this restaurant, with a stunning Atlantic view to boot! The food was delicious, but what really made our experience stand out was the exceptional service from Tayeb, our friendly waiter. He made sure we had everything we needed. The combination of great food, beautiful views, and top-notch service made for a fantastic morning. Highly recommend!"

Nice place overlooking the sea. The food is priced accordingly to the view but not overpriced and it is tasty. Service is decent and washrooms are clean. Burgers and Piella checked out.

What a lovely restaurant to visit in Safi. They have so many choices from Burgers Paninis Salads Coffee Tea. On top of that you can relax and enjoy an amazing view on the ocean and the entire city of Safi. The restaurant is located on a cliff. Playing area for kids available next to the restaurant. I highly Recommend. Anyone should be able to find what they like to eat or drink.

We arrived as a group of 7, just before a big football match was being shown, and still managed to get tables at the front overlooking the sea. Food and drink were good, plentiful and a decent variety of options. Servers got a couple of things wrong, but nothing that couldn't be corrected.

Lovely view Lovely service The only thing is there is no wheelchair or pram accessibility and had to use the stairs. Also the restaurant is crowded inside tables are too close together. Food was very nice Price is reasonable They let a customer with a dog in the restaurant which was disruptive at one point.
