Folie Bouznika Crowned Africa’s Best Mediterranean Cuisine Restaurant 2025

On the shores of Morocco’s Atlantic coast, a new culinary gem is making waves across the continent. Folie Restaurant & Sea Bouznika, part of the renowned Sunset Hospitality Group, has been named Africa’s Best Mediterranean Cuisine Restaurant 2025 by the prestigious World Culinary Awards, held this year in Sardinia, Italy.

This recognition places Folie Bouznika among the most celebrated dining destinations in Africa, honoring its innovative menu, exceptional service, and refined coastal ambiance. Selected from more than 500 restaurants across 40 countries, the award highlights the restaurant’s commitment to Mediterranean gastronomy infused with Moroccan authenticity.
