Casablanca food tour
CASABLANCA FOOD TOUR โ Lunchtime in Casablancaโs old medina is a world away from the cityโs modern boulevards, a maze of family-run hole-in-the-walls and generations-old eateries. This four-hour roamable feast offers 15+ tastings which showcase why Casablanca is one of the most exciting places to eat in Morocco.
Begin with comforting staples: warm harsha with nutty amlou, silky bissara fava soup, briny olives, and sticky-sweet chebakia. From there, the flavours deepen into Casablancaโs heartier classics, saykouk buttermilk with semolina and barley, flaky msemmen folded with olives or rich khlea, and tender steamed lamb that have been a neighbourhood favourite for years. Then itโs on to the seafood market because in this coastal city, the dayโs catch is non-negotiable. Taste fresh sea urchin straight from the shell, shucked oysters, and a finale of grilled fish and prawns served with chermoula-spiced sardines and smoky aubergines.
This is the real Casablanca you won't find in the guidebooks.
Why this tour is awesome
Casablancaโs old medina hides some of the cityโs most historic and soulful dishes, far from the polished cafรฉs and modern districts most visitors see. This tour dives straight into the flavours locals actually eat from neighbourhood staples like harsha, bissara, and msemmen to steamed lamb delicacies and seafood pulled fresh from the Atlantic.
Taste your way through 15+ stops, meet the artisans keeping century-old food traditions alive, and explore corners of the medina youโd never find alone. If you want to taste real Casablanca, you've come to the right place.
