Casablanca food tour
CASABLANCA FOOD TOUR โ Our four-hour evening food feast winds through the historic seafood market, old town and medina. The 15+ tastings showcase why Casablanca is one of the most exciting places to eat in Morocco. This isnโt fine dining, itโs a dive into the market stands, hole-in-the-wall joints, and family-run kitchens beloved by locals.
Begin at the iconic Casablanca seafood market for Moroccan oysters on the half shell and freshly shucked, buttery sea urchins. Then shift to neighbourhood favourites for smoky grilled prawns, golden seafood pastilla wrapped in delicate warqa, and charred vegetables with Hafida's famous sauce. As the night unfolds, the menu widens to medina staples: flaky msemmen folded over olives, soothing bowls of harira, fragrant rfissa and tender steamed lamb.
Along the way, expect pit stops for babbouche snails simmered in an herby broth and Moroccan pastries like sticky-sweet chebakia, nutty fekkas and orange blossom infused kaab el ghazal, all finished down with a high-pour glass of Moroccan mint tea.
Step off the beaten path and experience the city the way locals do.
Why this tour is awesome
Most visitors never really scratch the surface of Casablancaโs food culture. They stick to modern cafรฉs, missing the smoky grills, fragrant pots, and generations-old kitchens that define the cityโs flavours. This tour dives straight into the old medina and the famous seafood market to uncover the dishes locals grow up with.
Youโll taste 15+ specialties across street vendors and family-run institutions from freshly shucked oysters and sea urchin to rfissa, harira, grilled prawns, and fragrant Moroccan pastries. Itโs the most delicious way to explore Casablanca in the evening.
