Djemaa El-fna

For the most authentic Moroccan dining experience, head for the Djemaa el-Fna, sit among the crowds at the open-air food stalls, and dine on such traditional delicacies as steamed snails or stewed sheep’s head.

Dining

Moroccan cuisine, in general, consists of the staples of meat―mainly chicken and lamb―a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and couscous. The most renowned Moroccan dish is the tajine, a slowly cooked stew of meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts. Another famous dish is pastilla, which is composed of either chicken or pigeon between layers of pastry.
