Stroll through the charming Mouassine district in the heart of Marrakech and treat your taste buds to some of Morocco’s most beloved street foods. This flavorful stop includes a taste of the local “Moroccan pizza” — a savory flatbread filled with spiced vegetables or meat, baked fresh and full of flavor. Continue with a warm, fluffy Moroccan pancake (beghrir or harcha, depending on the day), lightly sweetened and perfect with local honey or butter. Finish with msemen, a layered, pan-fried flatbread that’s crispy on the outside and soft inside — served plain or filled. It’s a simple, delicious experience that highlights the everyday flavors locals enjoy, all in the atmospheric streets of Mouassine.

Step into the world of Moroccan herbalism and discover ancient wellness secrets passed down through generations. Visit a traditional herbalist and learn about the powerful local plants and spices used in cooking and natural medicine.

End your culinary journey with a cozy, traditional Moroccan dinner featuring a rich 3-course meal.

Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with a traditional Moroccan dessert, such as orange slices with cinnamon or homemade pastries. This dinner offers a perfect blend of comfort, flavor, and cultural authenticity

Fabulous food tour

Yahya, our was fabulous guide, he grew up in the medina so knew exactly where to go to get the best food. We had everything from olives and Moroccan pastries to soup, snails, sheep’s head (optional-be brave, it’s quite tasty) and a Moroccan lamb I think we had 17 different foods, excellent value for money with our fabulous guide

Best food tour in Marrakesh

Yaya was an excellent food tour guide. He was also kind enough to guide and arrange a visit to a handicraft shop. I strongly recommend him if you are visiting Marrakesh.

Delicious tasting stroll.

An excellent culinary walk through the souks orchestrated by Yahya, who introduced us to many delicious local products offered in friendly stalls, culminating in an unforgettable Tanjia enjoyed on the intimate rooftop terrace of a family restaurant just steps from the square. An experience we recommend without hesitation, as Yahya demonstrates extreme kindness and a lot of humor. Thank you again for these wonderful moments. Christophe and Lena

A once in a life time experience

Yaya was truly amazing, he curated a once-in-a-lifetime food experience. I tried snails, pancakes and etc and he also gave us great tips on how to shop while we were in the market. He truly made it so much fun. And there were just enough people to it felt personal. We got to see how almond oil was made too. If you are solo or not everyone will feel welcome!
