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.

The tour concludes after 3.5-4 hours on the edge of the medina close to the seafood market. You'll leave not only full, but with a much deeper understanding of Casablancan food culture and the confidence to continue eating your way through Morocco.
