This is the very best of Oriental cuisine, famous throughout the world - a real delight for your taste buds.

Here are some tantilizing Moroccan dishes which you must sample whilst in Marrakech :

	Kebabs: you will see delicious kebabs being cooked in front of you at the entrance to the souks, in squares or at the roadside. A convenient and cheap delight.
	Couscous: the traditional family dish for Friday lunch, but you will find it every day in restaurants. You can taste many different types of couscous during your visit, for they vary according to the region and the cook's imagination. Try not using cutlery but eating it with your fingers, Moroccan style.
	Mechoui: oven or spit roasted lamb. The meat melts in your mouth!
	Pastilla: a fine flaky pastry stuffed with pigeon and almonds: The famous Moroccan sweet and savoury taste. There are also variants with fish, chicken and even with milk for desert.
	Plats of Ramadan: at sunset, the fast (f'tour) is broken with the rich and savoury "harira", a soup of meat, lentils and chick peas, with "beghrir", little honeycombed pancakes served with melted butter and honey and with "shebbakia", cakes turned in oil then covered in honey. This "light snack" will tide you over until the real dinner which is served later in the night.
	Tajine: this word designates both the decorated earthenware plate with its distinctive conical cover and the dish itself (meat, chicken or fish stew with vegetables). Taste it and you will understand why Tajine is the Moroccan national dish.
	Mint tea: refreshing and stimulating, drunk in the morning, after meals or at any time. A pleasure you should never refuse.
	La pâtisserie: honey drenched cakes, cornes de gazelles, almond feqqas, raisins, ghoriba with almonds or sesame... quite irresistible!!
