Still need answers to this?
I would love to get there.
I posted about my trip here:
Thanks for the update. I think I enjoyed Nomad more than you did. Also Terrace d’Epices, Amal, and our riad/hotel. But overall it was not a culinary trip. (We went in 2019.)
Agreed kind of disappointing from a culinary stand point but I was not expecting that much
Just returned from a trip to Morocco on a 2-week whirlwind tour across the country. Contributing here with some of the food highlights.
Generally we found Moroccan food to be on the hearty side, highlighted by a main dish: tangine, which is clay pot slow cooking with various main ingredients (beef/lamb/chicken/vegetables). Tangine is everywhere, every Moroccan restaurant had it in one form or another. Couscous and pastilla/bastilla are other main Moroccan dishes that are found most everywhere, as well as meat skewers. Khobz bread also seem to be served everywhere. In terms of drinks, Morocco is known for mint tea.
We largely stayed away from street food for fear of eating the wrong thing because, as our guides tell us, we don’t have the “bacteria” like the locals to properly process the food. Same goes for the drinking water which is safe for the locals to drink but is a YMMV for tourists. It was good that every hotel we went to offered bottled water (or equivalent) free of charge.
Our first 10 days or so we stuck to Moroccan restaurants but after eating our umpteenth tangine dish, it got repetitive and we started veering towards restaurants of other cuisines. Here are a few samples of those we found were decent/good:
