The best French food in Morocco, according to the experts: The 50 has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Table III comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Casablanca and Marrakesh.

Le Petit Cornichon and La Brasserie Éric Frechon hold the next two places.

Rank 1. Table III
French
Thirteen tables, concrete walls, and an open kitchen two hundred meters from the Atlantic: Table III is a fine-dining restaurant where a chef who trained at Per Se and cooked across the US and Germany came home to Casablanca to cook Moroccan. Seafood comes straight from local fishers, most of the produce from the restaurant's own gardens, and French technique meets Japanese restraint on every plate. It landed on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list in its first year.

Rank 2. Le Petit Cornichon
French
Cerulean blue walls and sunny yellow accents set the tone for this French bistro with serious culinary ambitions, tucked into a Marrakesh side street. The chef works with local, seasonal Moroccan produce and folds it into a menu that reads Parisian but tastes of somewhere specific. A terrace, a wine cellar running past 300 bottles, and a set lunch that draws a crowd who know to come back, it landed at number 21 on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list.

Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and velvet banquettes put this formal restaurant inside the Royal Mansour squarely in the "dress for it" category. Celebrity chef Éric Frechon drives the menu toward French technique with Moroccan sourcing, the Oualidia oysters being the clearest argument for that arrangement. The room reads more Paris grand brasserie than North Africa, which is either a feature or a bug depending on what you came to Casablanca for.

Rank 3. Le Quatorze
French
A family villa in Casablanca's Gauthier quarter, dressed in brocante-chic, mid-century finds and run by two sisters who taught themselves to cook. The French-leaning kitchen punches well above what the cozy dining room suggests, which is part of the charm. Locals who know the neighborhood's eating options tend to know this address; they just don't always share it. A Discovery selection from The 50.
