What’s there to eat in Morocco? Well, get back on the gluten-filled, carbo-loaded bandwagon again because bread in all forms is on the menu! But so are fresh-squeezed juices, lamb, mint tea, tajine of every sort, and my favorite: pastella! Take a look at the best of what we ate on our two-week expedition in Morocco!
Traditional Moroccan Breakfast
Five out of our seven accommodations on our trip included breakfast in our rate, and that’s the norm for Morocco’s traditional riads, dars, and hotels. They’re heavy on the carbs, light on the protein, and dishes are served as they’re prepared, not all at once. that was a little hard for us to get used to. We thought for sure we were full and finished, and then came the next dish of something or other! Take a look at the things that come from a traditional Moroccan breakfast.

Tajine
Tajine is a traditional Moroccan dish served in a traditional dish called a tajine! The food is cooked in a conical baking dish, and when it comes out it’s tender and perfectly seasoned and bubbling with deliciousness. Take a look and prepare to start salivating!

Beverages and Desserts
And now for the best part: fun beverages and sweet treats! Moroccans do love their sugar, and I’m ever so grateful! They also love their fruits and fruit juices, which taste stronger and sweeter in Morocco!
