  Located in the so called Mechoui Alley behind The Alhambra restaurant in Jemaa el-Fnaa is his unmissable stand adorned with sheep’s heads and ‘Tangia’ crock pots. The meat-pot meals are cooked in the ashes of the coals from the local bathhouse. Most come during the day for the succulent Mechoui but the beef pots are served all day and are every bit as delicious. The juices that pool at the bottom of the bowl are a treat with the local bread

  Souk Semmarine

  Considered the main artery of the souks of the Medina, Souk Semmarine is accessible from Place Jemaa El Fna, in a derb (alley in the medina) bearing the same name. A name he holds from the farriers who once occupied this strategic place to shoe the animals of the caravanners, while the latter did their usual shopping.
