The Full Picture

Fes is the gastronomic capital: its medina preserves recipes unchanged since the 13th century — bastilla (pigeon & almond pie in thin pastry), rfissa (shredded bread in fenugreek broth), and the finest harira soup in Morocco. Marrakech's Djemaa el-Fna is the world's greatest outdoor food court — 100 stalls at dusk, smoke rising from grills, orange juice squeezed to order, snail soup, merguez. In Essaouira, fresh Atlantic seafood grilled at the port is eaten standing — the best fish meal in Morocco. The Souss valley near Agadir produces argane oil, honey and saffron (the 'red gold' of Taliouine). Moroccan mint tea is not just a drink — it is a ritual of hospitality, poured from height, served three times (life, love, death).
