Le Tapis Rouge by Little Norway
Complexe Tamlalt, Agadir 80000, Morocco
The Agadir Mag take
Le Tapis Rouge trades competently in seafood and steaks—the scallops, monkfish, and John Dory land reliably; the T-bone arrives properly tender. The Tapas Mixte Poisson at 150 MAD is genuine value: octopus, squid, mussels, anchovies, a warm roll. Service staff (Yahir, Mohammed, Youssef) read the room well—attentive without hovering, game for banter.
The house style courts nostalgia: red canopies, soft lighting, the kind of place that photographs better than it challenges. Portions run generous. One regular gripe: flavour profiles skew subtle rather than assertive, which suits some diners and frustrates others seeking real punch. The mocktails (45 MAD Piña Colada) work better than expected.
Setting matters here—the Corniche glow at dusk, the warm-ember vibe—as much as what lands on the plate. Fine for a comfortable evening, less so if you’re hunting genuine edge.

The food was delicious. A very fresh salad with a great combination of flavours followed by a T-bone steak cooked perfectly and very tender. Service was attentive but not overly so. Atmosphere was modern, a bit noisy but in keeping with the vibe and menu. Very enjoyable.
Dined here, by accident and how delighted I was to find such a great restaurant. Food was delicious (scallops, prawns, monkfish & John Dory) and were superbly looked after by Yahir (apologies if incorrect spelling)looking forward to my next visit.
Had a lovely Sunday evening Tapas Mixte Poisson for 150dh (approx £12). Quiet, chilled Jazz infused atmosphere. Was delicious and had octopus, squid, mussels and anchovies which I swapped for prawns. Also came with a round crusty warm brown bread roll. Do try their moctails if you don t drink. The Pina Colado (45dh) one I had was lovely! I wad served by the lovely Mohammed and Youssef who were polite, friendly and attentive throughout.
As the sun dips behind the palms of Agadir, Le Tapis Rouge by Little Norway glows like a warm ember along the coast — red canopies shimmering under the last trace of daylight, the warm lights and delicious aromas designed to tempt passers-by inside. Inside, time slows. The air carries the scent of garlic butter and freshly grilled seafood; soft lights cast a golden hue over tables filled with friends, families, and travellers discovering comfort far from home. Each plate feels like a small celebration — French flair meets Moroccan hospitality, a dance of flavours that lingers long after the final bite. During our visit, our youngest two had fallen asleep in their pushchair - a danger nap we would be regretting later in the evening... but welcomed in that moment so we could enjoy a meal as mum, dad and Travis (our oldest son), something we hadn't been able to enjoy for many years. We found plenty on options to suit all of our differing tastes - quite an achievement as Travis and I are both autistic! The portions were large, and very filling. Le Tapis Rouge by Little Norway isn't just a place to fill your stomach or ease your hunger... It is a place where evenings begin with warmth and end with memories glowing as softly as the lights outside. The only downfall was that I did not actually enjoy my meal very much, because I prefer strong and intense flavours and my dish was quite bland. David and Travis, however, really liked their meals.
Such a great place with delicious food and dessert. The waiters are friendly and funny. I ate so much and joked about being pregnant because my stomach bloated up after eating so much, and the waiter just went along with the joke. Do yourself a favour and visit this restaurant - you won't regret it!
