Tempting you in with its European, Arabian and Berber roots, expect a variety of mouthwatering flavours in Morocco. The legendary bazaars in Marrakech are a foodie’s haven with stalls selling herbs and seasonings, as well as mint tea which is often poured from a height to make it frothy.

Other traditional Moroccan fare includes couscous which mixes meat, vegetables, nuts and fruits, as well as pastilla, a pastry stuffed with chicken and lemon sauce. Broths and slow-cooked lamb bathed in cumin or garlic are also favoured among locals.

If street food is what you’re after, head over to Djemaa El-Fna square in Marrakech for a wide range of dishes including calamari, grilled sardines and kebabs. You simply can’t leave Morocco without trying Makouda. These little deep-fried potato balls are served with a spicy harissa sauce – the perfect snack for exploring the markets.
