In Marrakech, the essential dishes to eat are tagine, a versatile slow-cooked stew with meats, poultry, or vegetables, and tanjia, a rich slow-cooked lamb or beef delicacy unique to the city. Enjoy traditional couscous, often a Friday staple, and try hearty harira soup. Explore Jemaa el-Fna’s food stalls for grilled meats like brochettes and merguez sausages, then savor sweet Moroccan pastries and ubiquitous mint tea.
