About This Tour

Rabat's food scene is the best-kept secret in Morocco. The royal capital has restaurants and street food vendors serving the local government, diplomatic community and university population — meaning the standards are genuinely high and the prices are entirely local.

This 3-hour food tour covers the best of Rabat's street food and market culture: the Medina souk with its vendors of batbout (Moroccan pocket bread) filled with kefta, the cooked snail sellers whose broth is the most warming thing you will eat in Morocco, the fresh sardine sandwiches from the Atlantic coast vendors, pastilla sfenj (doughnuts dusted with sugar and honey), and the old mellah market where women sell home-cooked food from pots on the floor.

Your guide — born and raised in Rabat — knows every vendor by name and takes you to places that no guide book has ever written about.
