Cooking in Marrakech: the 10 unmissable culinary highlights

The couscous

of course! Friday is even better because tradition has it that couscous is a dish that is shared on holy days. And the holy day is Friday for Muslims.

Gazelle Ankles

is a small cake made with orange blossom and marzipan. It is one of the culinary specialties of Morocco. Once you have tasted it, it will be difficult to do without it…

The Tanjia Marrakchia

 You cannot miss this traditional dish from the city of Marrakech. Traditionally, it is prepared with lamb shank, one or more candied lemons, a few spices, garlic, and water. All in an amphora that is covered and placed in the embers or the oven.

The pastilla

Amlou

or “Berber Nutella”… it is a culinary preparation made from three ingredients: honey, almond, and argan oil. A DELICE! …and it makes local business work.

Mint tea

 Is it really necessary to add a comment?

The Briouates

 which are small puff pastry sheets filled with vegetables, cheese, or meat, are excellent appetizers…

Grated carrot salad

 It's probably not the best meal, but there's something for everyone... Ladies, when you've overdosed on rich dishes, this salad will surely be welcome. It hides a mystery ingredient. To discover!

Msemens

are Moroccan pancakes that can be eaten at your fingertips with cheese, honey, or jam. They are perfect for breakfast to start the day off right.

Tagines

(haha, did you think we had forgotten about them?) are the “tops” of Moroccan cuisine! You can find them everywhere and in multiple tastes (vegetables, chicken - candied lemon, lamb - prunes)! Everyone loves them. You will not leave Marrakech without having tasted one!
