Morocco has an unmatched range of cuisines and its past cultural influences are well reflected on its society which is full of epicures. Its dishes are nothing but a mixed pot of Berber, Jewish, Arab and French flavors. It is believed that home cooked food is the best in all of mainland, so capitalize on the invitations to family dinner or at least try to look out for a family-run restaurant. The forks and knifes are generally not accepted, so help yourself out with your hands and bread. Moreover, it is advised, if you are eating from a joint plate say ‘Tagine’ only pick what is on your side of the plate, it shows a polite gesture.

Tagines are actually cone-shaped cooking pot. This is undeniably the favourite dish of the Moroccans and you will find it everywhere from roadside eateries to high-end resorts. It’s a casserole of meat and vegetables soaked up in spices, sometimes olives and fruits are also added as toppings and are always served with bread. Also try kefta variety, in which beef cubes are rolled into balls, and prepared with onion sauce and topped with an egg or two.
