Moroccan Street Food Tour – Experience Famous Delicious Dishes

5-Day Street Food Journey from Fes to Marrakech via Casablanca & Essaouira

Day 1: Arrival & Street Food Adventure in Fes

Begin your gastronomic journey in Fes, Morocco’s culinary heart. Start at the medina’s bustling food stalls, where the scent of sizzling meats and fragrant spices fills the air. Indulge in Méchoui, slow-roasted lamb so tender it falls off the bone, best enjoyed with freshly baked Moroccan bread. Sample Msemen and Harcha, warm flatbreads paired with honey, cheese, or Amlou (a nutty Moroccan spread). As you explore, try Spicy Snails, a local delicacy simmered in an aromatic broth, and end your evening with a steaming bowl of Harira, a comforting soup of tomatoes, chickpeas, and lentils, often accompanied by dates and fresh bread.

Day 2: Casablanca’s Seaside Delights

Travel to Casablanca, a city known for its fresh seafood and cosmopolitan food scene. Begin your day with a visit to the lively Marché Central, where you can enjoy grilled sardines, a local favorite bursting with flavor. Stroll along La Corniche, where street vendors offer seafood kebabs and Briouats, crispy pastries filled with spiced meat or seafood. Don’t miss out on Bissara, a thick fava bean soup drizzled with olive oil, commonly eaten for breakfast. For a sweet treat, try Chebakia, deep-fried sesame cookies drenched in honey, perfect with a cup of Moroccan mint tea.

Day 3: Coastal Flavors in Essaouira

Journey to the coastal town of Essaouira, where the scent of the ocean blends with the aroma of grilled seafood. Head to the fish market, where you can select your fresh catch—whether it’s grilled lobster, calamari, or sea bass—and have it cooked to perfection on the spot. For a street food staple, try M’semen with seafood filling, a local twist on the classic Moroccan flatbread. As you wander through the medina, enjoy a warm Sfenj (Moroccan donut) dusted with sugar and paired with freshly brewed coffee. Conclude your food tour with a taste of Argan honey and almond sweets, unique to the region.

Day 4: Arrival & Street Food Indulgence in Marrakech

Arrive in Marrakech, where the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square transforms into a vibrant open-air food market by evening. Begin with Kefta kebabs, skewers of seasoned ground beef or lamb grilled over charcoal. Don’t miss Tangia, a slow-cooked Marrakech specialty made with lamb, preserved lemon, and Moroccan spices, cooked in a clay pot. Cool off with freshly squeezed orange juice, a staple in Marrakech’s street food scene. For a final indulgence, try Marrakech’s version of Chebakia or Ghriba cookies, buttery almond-based sweets that melt in your mouth.

Day 5: Departure with a Last Taste of Morocco

Before leaving Marrakech, savor a final Moroccan breakfast of Briouats filled with eggs and cheese or a plate of Baghrir (thousand-hole pancakes) drizzled with honey. Sip on a strong glass of Atay (Moroccan mint tea) as you reflect on the incredible flavors of your journey. Depart with memories of Morocco’s diverse street food culture, knowing that each bite told a story of tradition, spices, and local craftsmanship.
