What to expect
Poste du Maroc
This food tour takes place in the Heart of Marrakech: The Medina. On this flavor-packed and mouthwatering experience, you’ll taste your way through Moroccan culture, one bite at a time. Over the years, we’ve crafted and fine-tuned two delightful itineraries — each offering a rich and authentic journey through Marrakech’s culinary soul. Depending on the guide, season, or the flow of the day, your experience will follow either of these routes. Both are equally delicious, deeply local, and crafted with love and utmost care to give you a memorable evening.

Itinerary 1 • Moroccan coconut macaroons – a kids’ favorite sweet treat • Kaab Ghzal (Gazelle ankles) – a yummy local pastry filled with almond paste aromatized with orange blossom water • Traditional Harira soup, served with dates & Chebakia – just like how locals break their fasting during Ramadan • Babbouche (Moroccan snails) – slowly cooked in an aromatic herbal broth • Authentic mint tea & Msemmen – pan-fried pancakes drizzled with honey and cheese • Fakya – a festive mix of dried fruits and nuts that is carefully prepared and commonly shared among families & friends during celebrations • Signature olives of Morocco, from the greens with their creamy smooth texture to the reds tossed in parsley and cilantro Dinner is served at a cozy local restaurant: fresh Moroccan salad + a hearty Tajine. For dessert, we’ll offer you Raïb – a homemade yogurt that’s simply divine.
