Where to Eat in Marrakech
Marrakech is known for its delicious cuisine. French colonial influence and the city’s reliance on tourism have allowed it to provide a wide variety of restaurants serving anything from traditional Moroccan cuisine to worldwide favorites.
What to eat in Marrakech?
Morocco is known for its unique and eclectic cuisine. Couscous and tagine are the most well-known dishes.
Couscous is a traditional Berber meal from North Africa. It consists of cooked semolina balls tossed with lamb, chicken, veggies, and sometimes an egg. On Fridays, when Muslims gather, Moroccans often enjoy this meal.
The terra cotta pot used to prepare and serve tagines is the inspiration for the dish’s name. Meat, fish, and vegetables come together in this traditional Moroccan dish.
Salad, fruit, and sausages are other staples of Moroccan cuisine.
Sweets and tea
Drinking mint tea is an integral part of Moroccan culture. In addition to the various cafes throughout the city, you may also find free tea served by many establishments, including hotels, riads, stores, restaurants, and more. Spearmint leaves and sugar are the main ingredients in this tea.
Having dinner in the food stalls in Jemaa el-Fnaa
The food Tour booths in Marrakech’s main plaza are a popular dining option for locals and even some adventurous visitors.
Not only is the price lower than the neighboring eateries, but the food Tour is also passable. Indulging in a meal from one of these quaint kiosks is a wonderful opportunity to soak in the vibrant vibe of the area and see the residents going about their day.
