One of the very imperative aspects of traveling is to explore the local foods  of the place you are intended to visit. Morocco is a very gastronomical place and worth a visit to explore its very tasty traditional dishes which are good in a number. I’m aiming to take the Easter package to spend my exciting Easter Holidays in Morocco, for travelers visiting the place around Easter date are welcome. It is the right time to enjoy the festivities in Morocco. In this blog, you will know about the top Moroccan traditional dishes you should try on your visit to Morocco.

Top Delicious Traditional Dishes in Morocco:

Here are some of the traditional dishes I recommend that every traveler should try. This is one of the very prime aspects of tourism in Morocco.

Moroccan Tagine:

It is, in fact, the name of a mud pot which is used to cook the meat dishes. It is then the name of a dish very famous in Morocco. Tagine is made of the Chicken/Lamb/Camel meat along with the traditional Moroccan Spices. You should taste Lamb or Chicken Tagine in Marrakech or cities like Rabat, Chefchaouen. A very special Lamb Tagine would be served on your trip to the Sahara desert.

Moroccan Tagine also includes potatoes, and other vegetables to make it tastier. Top-notch restaurants in Marrakech and other major cities would offer you the best tastes.

Couscous, A Meghrebi Dish:

Couscous is also a very famous dish in Morocco. It is like a Paste made of Wheat, Barley, and other spices. The variety of recipes is in Morocco to make couscous. Although the common ingredients are the same. Some people use Vegetable, some put Chickpea to make it unique, most people use almost the same spices.

Onion, Garlic, Olive olive, Black pepper, and the traditional salts and spices are commonly used in Moroccan couscous. What you have to do is, to visit the best place to try this dish. “Naima Couscous” in Marrakech gives the dish more protocol and offers a number of recipes. There are a lot of other places you should get to check.

Harira Soup:

Harira is regarded as a famous light food in Morocco. Moroccans use this as an appetizer before lunch or dinner. It also has a number of ways to cook it. Some add lamb meat, others add chicken or simple vegetable soup. It is the simplest dish you can make yourself if you are having a cooking space in your residence.

When we were in Morocco and it was Ramadan I remember, it was then the very famous in Aftaari (Dusk time when Muslims break their fast in Ramadan). It is a healthy dish so Moroccans use this in Ramadan very frequently. It is mostly served with only fresh Salads.

Lmrozia, A festive Food:

It is a festival dish made on special occasions mostly on Eid Ul Adha. I ordered it to make for our family because I wanted to know how it tastes when a dish includes a number of spices together. Mostly it is made in meat, Onion, Salts and spices, oil, butter, and many other things include making it special.

There are hundreds of well-reputed restaurants in Morocco especially in Marrach to sit and try this dish. This is not the end, Morocco has a lot of other dishes to make your trip a very foody and festive trip of your life.

Tangia:

No, it is not Tagine but close to it. It is also made in Lamb or beef with good traditional spices. Moroccan spices are unique in their taste if you are interested to buy the spices, you can buy the spices from any city of Morocco. In Marrakech, there is a shop near to Djema el Fna, find the shop and take your favorite spices.

Tangia would be in the Menu list of most of the big hotels and restaurants. Your Riad can also serve you the dish along with fresh Salads.

B’stilla (For Veg, Non-Veg travelers Both):

This is a filling type dish like a pizza or sandwich. Its filling is a real thing. I tasted it in Chefchouaen and it was literally a very tasty dish. A lot of ingreds including Boneless chicken, minced vegetables, olive oil, and other things get to make a very tasty B’stilla. Café Mounir, Kasbah Café in Marrakech, and a number of other restaurants in Morocco would offer you the mouth-watering Moroccan dish B’stilla.

It is also made of vegetables only to make it vegetarian-friendly. Moroccan version of B’stilla or Pastilla has a very flavor impact on veg travelers.

Fresh Salad:

It is one of the very light dish travelers can have any time on their trip. It is a common understanding among travelers that they only have breakfast and dinner during their trips. So in the day time, they mostly take light things like Salad. Moroccan Salads is not that different, fresh salads are the same everywhere almost. Tomatoes, Olives, Carrots, red onion, mixed with salt, pepper and sometimes vinegar make it tastier. There are many types of Salads in Morocco. We took Italian type of Salad whenever sitting in the restaurants in Morocco.

Mint Tea:

It would be served with every meal in Morocco. We tried the mint tea almost with every meal. Sitting on the Café de France and overviewing the charming Djema el Fna in the evening along with the warm sips of Mint tea is a dreamy experience one should have. Sitting on the traditional cafes in Agadir also has its own significance.

Fast Food in Morocco:

Some travelers don’t like the traditional tastes and want to have the fast-food which is almost same in taste everywhere in the world. You can visit KFC, Burger King, and Pizza Hut in Morocco, especially in Marrakech because it is the most urbanized city of Morocco. There are different options for you then. KFC and Mcdonalds are famous for Burgers, Burger King also serves with Burgers and other products. Whereas Pizza Hut is to serve you the best quality Pizzas.
