Tagine, couscous, pastilla, harira, street food and mint tea — what to eat in Morocco and where to find the best of it.
Moroccan cuisine is one of the great underrated food cultures of the world — a fragrant blend of Berber, Arab, Andalusian and sub-Saharan influences built around spices, slow cooking and hospitality.
Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech is the famous open-air kitchen — follow the crowds of locals to the busiest stalls. Try harira, grilled brochettes, snail soup and fresh orange juice. In Fes, seek out the medina’s bissara (fava bean soup) for breakfast.
Riads serve excellent home-cooked dinners (book ahead). Mid-range restaurants offer set menus around $10–15. For the most authentic food, join our Marrakech street food tour or Essaouira seafood tour with a local guide.
Eat at busy, high-turnover stalls, avoid raw salads in remote areas, drink bottled water, and peel fruit yourself. Moroccan food is generally safe and our food tours are curated for both quality and hygiene.
