4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Most visitors to Casablanca never experience the real food culture hidden inside the old medina. Far from polished cafés and modern districts, this tour dives straight into the dishes locals actually eat, from everyday staples like harsha, bissara, and msemmen to tender steamed lamb and seafood pulled fresh from the Atlantic.

With 15+ tastings, you’ll move through neighbourhood spots and historic eateries, meet the artisans keeping century-old food traditions alive, and explore corners of the medina you’d never find on your own. If you want to taste the real Casablanca, this is where it happens.

    Our Casablanca food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the city's medina. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Casablanca tastemakers. 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, no pork and pescatarian diets ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, and seafood allergies, as the number of tastings would be very limited. ✔ Gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance are possible, though some tastings do not have alternatives available If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

    Casablanca

    Lunchtime inside Casablanca’s old medina feels a world away from the city’s modern boulevards. Hidden behind its walls is a maze of family-run hole-in-the-walls and generations-old eateries. With 15+ tastings, this roaming lunch feast showcases why Casablanca is one of Morocco’s most exciting cities to eat in. Begin with comforting local staples, including warm harsha paired with nutty amlou, silky bissara fava bean soup, briny olives, and sticky-sweet chebakia. Then the flavours deepen into heartier Casablancan classics like saykouk buttermilk with semolina and barley, flaky msemmen folded with olives or rich khlea, and tender steamed lamb. Then it’s on to the seafood market. Taste sea urchin straight from the shell, freshly shucked oysters, and finish with grilled fish and prawns served alongside chermoula-spiced sardines and smoky aubergines. This isn’t fine dining, it’s a deeply local food experience that reveals the real Casablanca, the one you won’t find in the guidebooks.
