Our story

It all began in 1977.

From 30 m² to five hectares of memories.

In 1977, Mohammed Bentaher opened a small restaurant of about 30 m² on the road linking Tangier and Asilah. He had a simple idea: to welcome people well. Nearly fifty years later, Tahadart covers about five hectares and welcomes families, travellers and groups from all over the world.
