Overview
A 3–4 hour evening walk through the medina's best street-food stalls, bakeries and family kitchens, ending at the food carts of Jemaa el-Fnaa.
This is how Marrakchis actually eat. Your guide — a born-and-raised local — leads you to the stalls and hole-in-the-wall kitchens that don't make the guidebooks: a communal bread oven, a sheep's-head specialist, a maâlem grilling brochettes over olive-wood charcoal, a sticky-pastry counter that's been there four generations.
We taste as we go — six to eight stops — and finish among the smoke and lanterns of Jemaa el-Fnaa, the open-air food theatre that earned the square its UNESCO listing. You won't need dinner afterwards. Come hungry.
