Maghrib Meals Food Tour with 15+ Tastings
Description
Most visitors to Casablanca barely scratch the surface of the city’s food culture, sticking to modern cafés while missing the smoky grills, fragrant pots, and generations-old kitchens that define local eating. This evening tour dives straight into the old medina and the famous seafood market to uncover the flavours Casablanca locals grow up with. With 15+ tastings across street vendors and family-run institutions, you’ll sample everything from freshly shucked oysters and sea urchin to comforting bowls of harira, fragrant rfissa, grilled prawns, and classic Moroccan pastries. It’s a deeply local experience and one of the most delicious ways to explore Casablanca in the evening.

Itinerary
Our Casablanca food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the city's medina. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Casablanca tastemakers. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✔ Suitable for halal, no pork and pescatarian diets ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, and gluten and lactose intolerance as the number of tastings would be very limited. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
This four-hour evening food tour explores Casablanca, moving through the historic seafood market, old town, and medina. Try 15+ tastings emphasising the local food beloved by Casablancans. The evening begins at the city's famous seafood market, where you’ll sample freshly shucked Moroccan oysters and rich, buttery sea urchins. From there, the tour continues to local favourites for smoky grilled prawns, crisp seafood pastilla wrapped in delicate warqa pastry, and charred vegetables served with a signature local sauce. As the walk moves deeper into the medina, you’ll taste classic Moroccan dishes such as flaky msemmen with olives, comforting bowls of harira, fragrant rfissa, and tender steamed lamb. Along the way, you’ll also stop for babbouche snails simmered in an aromatic herb broth, followed by traditional Moroccan pastries including honeyed chebakia and nutty fekkas. Our nightly food feast is a introduction to the real Casablancan cuisine.
The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours at the La Tour De L'Horloge. You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Casablancan food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through Morocco.

Wonderful food tour around central Cadablanca. Many different stops and a great variety of food options. Engaging guide. Would recommend 100%.
This tour was so amazing! All the food was incredible and we tried so many different types of moroccan cuisine. The guide, Mohammed, was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We had a great time and our guide even walked us back to our hotel, safe and sound! 100% recommend this amazing tour of Casablanca’s delicious food ❤️
Mohammed was a solid guide who knew the city well and took me to places I’d never have found — or tried — on my own. The food was the real highlight, stuff I definitely wouldn’t have ordered off a menu by myself. Good value if you want to eat beyond the tourist trail.
This food tour was everything I was looking for and more! I was unsure what to expect since I never perceived Casablanca as a foodie destination, but the food scene is actually where it shines. I found that the tour highlights the city’s religious diversity, colonial history, and modern identity through a wide variety of dishes, including great seafood which I personally loved and the most delicious breads and desserts. The small takeaway of freshly ground Moroccan herbs for my coffee was such a thoughtful touch. Mohamed was also such a wonderful guide. He was very kind, calm, and knowledgeable. He also came prepared with tissues, wipes, and hand sanitizer, which were quite useful and very appreciated when eating some dishes. He gave great recommendations and was genuinely lovely to chat with. I am surprised this tour is not more popular, as it was one of my favourite things I did in Casablanca. Would highly recommend!
Make sure you show up hungry and ready to eat because there is a lot to sample. Sweet, savoury, breakfast, lunch, and more. Mohamed is very knowledgeable and I saw more of the Old Medina than I would have on my own. There is a lot of food that I wouldn't have known about to try on my own. If you like food from street vendors and hidden gems, this tour is for you.
Absolutely shattered there aren’t more reviews for this tour. Mohamed is an excellent guide, sharing many details about the city of Casablanca and the history of Morocco while taking you to many delicious tastings over 4 hours. Each vendor brought something unique to the table, and I felt like a got a very holistic view of the Moroccan cuisine, from breakfast through to dinner, sweet and savoury. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Casablanca! It did end up being a solo tour, but as it gains more traction I think the group sizes will increase.
An excellent introduction to Casablanca and Moroccan food.
