Rabat food tour
RABAT EVENING FOOD TOUR β This four-hour evening food feast winds through the capital's old medina stoping for 15+ tastings that showcase the dishes beloved by Rabatis.
There's too many tastings to name them them all, some lip-smacking highlights include fresh Atlantic sardines salted and grilled over smoky charcoal, simmering djaj mkalli chicken tagine, warming bowls of harira, crisp breadcrumb-fried aubergines, flaky chicken briouats and salade Moroccaine, at family-run spots you'll unlikely to find alone.
As night settles in, there's more to taste. Spiced merguez lamb sausages, tender steamed lham rass, jben mountain cheese with nutty amlou, and delicate Moroccan pastries like fekkas and orange blossom infused kaab el ghzal.
Leave with a deep understanding of the capital's food scene as known by locals.
Why this tour is awesome
Most visitors to the capital never experience the real food scene. Knowing where to go, and what to order, isnβt always obvious. Our Rabati food hosts connect guests to the best neighbourhood spots, providing access to Rabatβs true food culture without the guesswork.
With 15+ tastings, youβll experience the full range of Rabati flavours from charcoal-grilled sardines and simmering tagines to paprika-spiced lamb sausages, seafood stews, and delicate Moroccan pastries. Along the way, youβll gain a deeper understanding of how Rabatis eat, leaving with both a fuller picture of the old medina and the confidence to continue exploring the cityβs food scene on your own.
