Enjoy Moroccan street food

As far as gastronomy is concerned, Morocco is undeniably known for its delicious couscous, a semolina-based dish. It is very pleasant to sit in a good restaurant and enjoy a good couscous in a luxurious setting. But there is also the school for those who prefer to visit or walk in the streets so as not to miss anything during their stay, even if it means sacrificing moments around a good table. If you are travelling in Morocco, you will enjoy yourself even if you eat a little something bought in the street. Villanovo has made a list of the best street food in Morocco.
 

Batbout

Batbout

This delicious Moroccan-style Pita bread can be bought in the streets of Marrakech. If you are hungry for lunch, you can have it topped with meat, cheese, and all kinds of vegetables. You can also add butter and honey for a sweet moment between visits. Let yourself be regaled by the flavour of this bread combined with fresh ingredients! 
 

Harira

Harira

This tomato, chickpea and lentil soup is eaten a lot during Ramadan but also all year round for breakfast or dinner. As you stroll through the streets of Marrakech, you can buy one in one of the many street food stalls in the city. After a hearty soup, you can try an unusual escapade in the Agafay desert! 
 

Kefta kebabs

Catch for a quick lunch or if you're feeling peckish, Kefta skewers are a delicious, spice-flavoured meat that you can eat on the go or in a sandwich for a more complete meal. Once again, you will find these succulent skewers at a street food stand in Marrakech to treat yourself to a quick bite. You can now visit the stunning Koutoubia Mosque!

The delicious Moroccan pancakes, the Msemen

The delicious Moroccan pancakes, the Msemen

To be enjoyed at any time of the day with a salty or sweet accompaniment, msemen will delight you! This puff pastry pancake is very popular in North Africa and especially in Morocco where you can find some on every street corner to treat yourself: at lunch with a vegetable and meat filling or at lunchtime with a sweet filling such as spread or honey, to be eaten hot! If you have an hour to sit in a café, enjoy a msemen with a good mint tea.

Sfenj, a Moroccan-style donut

This Moroccan donut will delight your taste buds between lunch and two if you are a little hungry! Since a little sweet pleasure has never done any harm, enjoy this fried donut Moroccan version, made of a sticky dough. Just taste it with a little honey for even more delicacy.
