Ma Poêle Smoke House restaurant agadir
local 18 im f, Rue L'hôtel de ville, Agadir 80000, Morocco
The Agadir Mag take
Ma Poêle’s reputation rests almost entirely on octopus—and the reviews suggest it’s earned. Multiple diners claim it’s among the best they’ve had anywhere, prepared as salad, smoked, or braised. Everything else (salads, juices, other mains) gets mentioned warmly but in passing, which matters. The staff, particularly someone named Kamal, appears genuinely invested rather than transactional; one reviewer notes he gave her mother a bracelet unprompted. The space itself sounds modest—“street food” setting, small—which fits the smokehouse concept. What’s missing: any sense of what else is actually good here, or what prices land at. Five-star reviews this unanimous are rare enough to warrant scepticism, though consistency across strangers about the octopus specifically suggests something real. Worth trying if you’re after exactly that dish, less certain as an all-rounder. Located on Rue de l’Hôtel de Ville.

I love octopus and have eaten it in many restaurants across many countries, and I can honestly say these guys serve the best octopus I have ever tried. The octopus salad is great, and the smoked and braised octopus is unbelievable. We've been to Agadir for 3 days and came back for it every evening. Absolute gem of a restaurant.
Quite lil restaurant with great & food decent prices. Everything was delicious and served hot the salads are amazing. The juices are also wonderfully delightful. We really enjoyed.
Fantastic restaurant. Every dish is extremely delicious. Staff is caring and lovely! Definitely will visit here again.
Must visit in Agadir! The chef and all staff give Michelin star service and cuisine in a very chill vibe "street food" setting. We were in Agadir for 2 nights and both dinner we spent here. Kamal as the face of the restaurant is brilliant, super kind, genuine...he even give my Mum his bracelet as a gift just because she liked it, what an unbelievable nice gesture. Thank you!
We had their best seller, the octopus. We asked Kamal our server if it was good, he said it was very good--no, it was amazing. And I couldn't agree more. Tasty food, friendly service--overall a great experience! Highly recommend.
