An evening of Casablanca's real food — snail soup, grilled fish off the central market, msemen and mint tea — across six tasting stops with a local foodie guide.

Casablanca eats like a port city: fresh Atlantic fish, French-influenced patisserie, and the snack-cart classics — babbouche snail soup, sardine sandwiches, msemen pancakes — that locals queue for after work. This isn't a restaurant crawl; it's the food the city actually eats.

Over three hours and six tasting stops, a local foodie guide walks you from the central market — where you can pick a fish and have it grilled on the spot — through the old medina's snack stalls to a tea-and-pastry finish. Six tastings add up to a full dinner; come hungry.

Highlights

  • Pick-and-grill fresh fish at the central market
  • Babbouche (snail soup) from a street cart
  • Sardine sandwiches and msemen pancakes
  • Moroccan and French-style pastries
  • Mint tea finish with a local foodie guide

Questions about this tour

Is "Casablanca After Dark — Food Tour" private or a group tour?

100% private. Just you and the people you book with — your own driver, vehicle and pace from start to finish. We never pool travellers.

Can I change the dates or itinerary?

Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a day, swap a riad, change the start city — we'll re-quote within 24 hours and confirm the price in writing before any deposit.

How fit do I need to be?

Easy. Light walking on medina cobblestones, plus optional activities you can opt in or out of on the day.

When should I book?

For high season (Oct–Apr) and any trip involving the Sahara or hot-air balloon, book 8–12 weeks ahead. Last-minute (under 14 days) is usually still possible with a phone call.

Can you cater for vegetarians or allergies?

Yes — tell us in advance and the guide swaps the meat and seafood stops for vegetarian msemen, salads, soups and pastries. We can also handle gluten and nut allergies with notice.
