Most visitors to Rabat never experience the capital’s real food scene. Knowing where to go and what to order isn’t always obvious without local insight. This tour removes the guesswork, with knowledgeable Rabati hosts who connect you directly to the neighbourhood spots where locals actually eat.
With 15+ tastings, you’ll experience the full spectrum of Rabati flavours, from charcoal-grilled sardines and simmering tagines to paprika-spiced lamb sausages, seafood stews, and delicate Moroccan pastries. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how Rabatis eat day to day, leaving with a richer picture of the old medina and the confidence to continue exploring the city’s food scene independently.

Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✔ Suitable for halal and no pork diets ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, pescatarian and no seafood are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives available If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

This four-hour evening food tour winds through the medina’s backstreets, stopping for 15+ tastings that showcase the dishes Rabatis truly love. There are too many tastings to list in full, but highlights include fresh Atlantic sardines salted and grilled over charcoal, simmering djaj mkalli chicken tagine, warming bowls of harira, crisp breadcrumb-fried aubergines, flaky chicken briouats, and classic salade marocaine. As evening deepens, the tasting continues with spiced merguez lamb sausages, tender steamed lham rass, jben mountain cheese paired with nutty amlou, and delicate Moroccan pastries such as crunchy fekkas and orange-blossom-scented kaab el ghzal. This isn’t a polished fine dining experience, it’s an authentic look at how Rabat eats. Leave with a deeper understanding of the capital’s food culture, tasted the way locals know it best.
