43 MARRAKESH, MOROCCO

One of Marrakesh’s best-kept culinary secrets is its street food. The weaving alleys of the medina are dotted with vibrant local establishments, serving rich and flavoursome dishes that out-do the food found in most restaurants. This is where you will find Marrakeshis eating: at street-side carts, hole-in-the-wall eateries and low-key cafes enjoying beloved Moroccan staples and some of the best food in the city.

Eating street food requires a certain sense of adventure, a willingness to nudge up alongside locals at shared tables, look past aesthetics and work through language barriers to order. But it is worth it for mouth-watering, inexpensive food and (slow-cooked lamb) to flaky (crepe), here are the city’s must-try street foods and the best places to get them.
