Itinerary

This food tour takes place in the heart of Marrakech: The Medina

On this flavor-packed and mouthwatering experience, you’ll taste your way through Moroccan culture, one bite at a time.

Over the years, we’ve crafted and fine-tuned two delightful itineraries — each offering a rich and authentic journey through Marrakech’s culinary soul. Depending on the guide, season, or the flow of the day, your experience will follow either of these routes. Both are equally delicious, deeply local, and crafted with love and utmost care to give you a memorable evening.

Itinerary 1

  • Moroccan coconut macaroons – a kids’ favorite sweet treat
  • Kaab Ghzal (Gazelle ankles) – a yummy local pastry filled with almond paste aromatized with orange blossom water
  • Traditiona Harira soup, served with dates & Chebakia – just like how locals break their fasting during Ramadan
  • Babbouche (Moroccan snails) – slowly cooked in an aromatic herbal broth
  • Authentic mint tea & Msemmen – pan-fried pancakes drizzled with honey and cheese
  • Fakya – a festive mix of dried fruits and nuts that is carefully prepared and commonly shared among families & friends during celebrations
  • Signature olives of Morocco, from the greens with their creamy smooth texture to the reds tossed in parsley and cilantro

Dinner is served at a cozy local restaurant: fresh Moroccan salad + a hearty Tajine.

For dessert, we’ll offer you Raïb – a homemade yogurt that’s simply divine.

Itinerary 2

  • Msemen Amer – Moroccan pancakes stuffed with savory fillings, often featuring spiced vegetables, popular during teatime in Morocco
  • Harira & Chebakia – the classic soup-and-sweet combo
  • Makkla bel Kefta – the Moroccan twist on the Shakshouka
  • Sfenj – tradition Moroccan donuts, golden and crispy on the outside, while airy and chewy inside, one of locals’ favorite street food snacks
  • Lhindiya – refreshing cactus fruits, rich in antioxidants and great for cooling down in hot weather
  • Rass Mbekher – delicately steamed sheep’s head seasoned with cumin --- Sometimes replaced by local Chawarma (Succulent chicken or crispy falafel)
  • Panaché – a colorful smoothie made from fresh seasonal fruits
  • Khoudenjal – a hot Moroccan herbal infusion made from galangal root, good for digestion and enjoyed as a comforting drink during cold days

Dinner is an open-air Chwa experience – authentic Moroccan barbecue with juicy grilled meats (beef, turkey, and liver).

Whichever path your evening takes, you’ll enjoy a flavorful and deeply local experience. Your belly will be filled with joy, your senses will be delighted, and you’ll have plenty of stories to share when you get home.

Depending on the pace of your tour, we may stop at a traditional herbalist’s shop for a short break — a chance to learn about Moroccan spices, sip on mint tea, and use the restroom if needed.

Come hungry. Leave happy. Bon appétit!
