Every evening Jemaa el-Fna becomes one of the world’s largest open-air restaurants: dozens of numbered stalls grill brochettes, ladle harira soup and serve Moroccan classics for a few euros, under lantern light and clouds of fragrant smoke.
What to eat
Grilled skewers and merguez, harira, tanjia, fried fish, snail broth and freshly squeezed orange juice. Agree the price before ordering, and pick busy stalls with high turnover. See our full guide to what to eat and prices.
Eat like a local
The easiest way to eat well is with someone who knows the stalls. Our Marrakech street food tour by night handles the ordering and takes you to the freshest spots. Plan your visit with the Jemaa el-Fna guide.
