Abundant spices are used in Moroccan cuisine. In the souks of the country, the scents of the Orient caress our nose: fresh mint, cloves, cinnamon, paprika, curry mixes.

Die bekanntesten marokkanischen Gerichte sind die Harira eine gehaltvolle Suppe mit Linsen, frischem Gemüse und Kräutern . Ein Salat Marrocaine mit  Zwiebeln, aromatischen Tomaten, Gurken und Koriander gehört zu jedem Essen. Ein typisches Hauptgericht ist die Tajine. Für die Zubereitung wird ein Tontopf mit spitzem Deckel verwendet, in dem das Gericht direkt über der Holzkohle langsam geschmort wird. Jedes Restaurant hat eine eigene, individuelle Rezeptur.

At simple street stalls, a full meal costs only 2-3 €. For 6-10 € you can eat in style in a wonderful atmosphere. In exclusive restaurants you have to pay for a complete meal up to 30 €.

Drinks: Usually you drink water or soft drinks. Beer or excellent Moroccan wine from the Meknes area is available in many restaurants. But, since we are in a Muslim country, taxed extremely. So a small beer often costs as much as the complete menu. "The a la mente" - a highly sweetened, mint tea made from fresh mint, is the national drink of the Moroccans. He is drunk on all occasions in the countless cafes of the country for sweet pastries.
