Market restaurants in Africa

  1. A

    Ben Youssef Food Stall Qissaria

    Just around the corner from the Koubba Ba'adiyn is a labyrinth of qissarias lined with stalls serving tagines, steaming snails, and the occasional stewed sheep's head hot off the Buddha gas burner. Tourists at food stalls in the Djemaa el-Fna may think they're being adventurous, but the qissarias are where the real action is. Eat whatever looks fresh and tasty, even if you have to wait for a free stool.

  2. Tozeur Market

    Handy for a snack and very much a part of the Tozeur experience are the dates available in the market. The best dates are harvested in October, but you'll usually find something on offer throughout summer. For reasonable quality, expect to pay around TD3.5 per kilogram, although the best method is to taste before you buy.

  3. Fish Market

    For a totally different eating experience, head to this ramshackle fish market. Choose the fish or other seafood that you want, buy it and then take it to one of the recently renovated restaurants where they'll grill it for you for a small fee.

  10. Rue Chaouia

    The best place for a quick, cheap meal is Rue Chaouia opposite the central market. The line of rotisseries, stalls and restaurants serving roast chicken, brochettes and sandwiches for around DH20-30 stays open until about 02:00.
