Overview

Moltaqa — the Arabic word for "gathering place" — is Vancouver's only Michelin Guide Recommended Moroccan restaurant, located in the heart of Yaletown. Winner of the 2025 Vancouver Magazine Gold Award, Moltaqa offers an immersive dining experience rooted in authentic Moroccan and North African cuisine.

The menu features slow-cooked tagines, hand-rolled couscous, house-made Moroccan breads, and a full halal kitchen with thoughtful options for vegan and gluten-free guests. The bar program showcases handcrafted Moroccan-inspired cocktails, mocktails, BC and international wines, and fresh-pressed juices.

What sets Moltaqa apart is the atmosphere. Live Qanun music performs weekly, and Saturday evenings feature live belly dance performances, making it one of the few Vancouver restaurants where the entertainment is as memorable as the food.

Ideal for date nights, group celebrations, halal dining, and corporate events. Walk-ins welcome. Reservations recommended for weekends and live music nights.

Open daily from 11:30 AM. Located at 1002 Mainland Street, Yaletown.
