Marrakech Street food Tours Will Help You Explore the City! Marrakech food tours take you into the heart of our sensational souks and give you a glimpse into the life of a local. Eat the way we eat and devour the city through taste. Savor the Flavor of Marrakech Here are the Top 10 best Marrakech street foods you need to try when you journey through our city: 1. Tagine : Tajine Moroccan flavors immediately call up images of spice and warmth, and no dish epitomizes the sense of community and tradition quite like Tagine. Named after the beautiful cone-shaped clay pot in which it is cooked, Tagine is layered up from a base of fried onions and traditional spices. Long, slow cooking is what makes this dish so sensational, and it is offered in many variations including vegetable or meat. 2. Sheep’s Head : Another iconic dish you will come across in the streets of Marrakech is a whole sheep’s head. It is most certainly a dish that calls for total cultural immersion and a touch of bravery – especially if you want to try the eyeball, considered the tastiest part of the dish. The sheep’s head can be cooked either through the traditional process of hanging the entire sheep in an underground coal oven for over 8 hours – in which case one would often only eat the cheek meat – or it can be boiled with chickpeas and spices and served brains and all with some bread 3. Harira This hearty tomato-based soup is so much more than the sum of its parts. Spicy, warm, and yet full of finesse, Harira is the ultimate comfort food. Nourishing and fragrant, this soup calls for tomato, lentils, chickpeas, and various traditional spices such as cumin and turmeric. Velvety and oh-sosatisfying, this dish can often be served to sate as a vegetarian option or with slow-cooked meat 4. Babbouche On the topic of traditional soups, we look to the delicately flavored Babbouche – snails flavored by broth. Believed to have medicinal qualities, the soup calls for a heady mix of aniseed, thyme, and even licorice. Eaten as a street snack, served in the shell to be picked out as you eat, Babbouche is a down-to-earth cousin of the French dish escargot. No butter or fancy restaurants here – simply great spices and vibrant street life. 5. Ma’qooda Deep fried and delectable, Ma’qooda are little potato balls perfectly designed for snacking. Cheap and popular, Ma’qooda can be served in a host of ways from topped with a humble fried egg to dressed in a spicy harissa sauce which is then squashed into a sandwich and enjoyed for its filling and moreish qualities. 6. Tfaya A true vegetarian delight! Often served as a cultural observance on Fridays due to the Muslim faith, Tfaya is a versatile and wholesome dish that is both light and satisfying. Nothing beats intensely flavored vegetables and caramelized onions on a bed of fluffy couscous, and Tfaya in particular is a staple. The dish calls for sweetening with honey, and often comprises onions and raisins seasoned with aromatics such as saffron and ginger – all to be soaked up and enjoyed with the couscous. 7. Mint Tea Tea the undeniable beverage of choice in Marrakech. Mint tea has even been dubbed “Moroccan whisky” by some due to the easy drinking it invites and possibly due to the heartfelt dedication that goes into brewing every single pot. Brewed using fresh mint, this tea is muddled by repeatedly pouring it in a ritualistic fashion from as high up as possible into the cup to incorporate the sugar and make it frothy. There’s nothing quite like it, and a trip to Marrakech simply cannot be experienced without it 8. Olives Walking through the souks of Marrakech, there is one thing we can guarantee – mounds and mounds of olives. The olive market is an experience on its own, but it simply would not do to exclude it from the list of best Marrakech street foods you need to try. Sweet, savory, spiced – there are olives for every occasion at these Moroccan institutes. 9. Briouat Time for some infamous pastries! Moroccan dessert, as with all Moroccan cuisine, is often inspired by the influences around them, such as local ingredients and neighboring cultures. Briouat are served in either sweet or savory forms and shaped like samosas. The iconic triangles are piled high on the streets of Marrakech, and whether you prefer to have yours filled with lamb or chicken, or as a sweet filled with almonds or drenched in honey, they are a patisserie style treat that you simply cannot miss 10. Kaab el Ghazal Ending on a sweet note, these gazelle horn shaped cookies are a confectionery to behold! Almond paste blanketed in delicate pastry, the Kaab el Ghazal with its iconic crescent shape is but one of Page 4 of 5 the many indulgent yet light sweet treats that Marrakech will invite you to try.
