Food, Drink shopping in Morocco

  1. A

    Spice Shop

    Hassan Graoui and his son Khalid are justly proud of their emporium of spices. This is an excellent place to stock up on ras el-hanoot (shopkeeper's spice mixture) that Hassan grinds himself, from his own secret blend of cinnamon, mace flowers, star anise, turmeric, nutmeg, black pepper, coriander and more. Perfect for Moroccan cooking.

    Salon De Thé Batha

    Here's one of the best patisseries selling excellent bread, cakes and croissants but the pièce de résistance is the patisserie: tiny exquisite biscuit creations featuring almonds, sesame paste, chocolate and macaroons. A 250g box of the best (essential when visiting Moroccan families) costs around DH30.

    Nougat Shop

    All around the Kairaouine and Moulay Idriss Zawiya are nougat shops and stalls with their pink, white and green slabs of nut-studded nougat, all buzzing with bees. The slabs at this little shop are around DH15 per kilogram; you can try a small basket of mixed nougats or a medium-sized one.

    Dried Fruit Shop

    Hafid Alaoui sits plum in the middle of his meticulous pyramids of dried fruit and nuts at this large stall next to the Chemmaine Funduq. The very best quality dates come from Erfoud. There are also apricots, plump almonds and pecan nuts in the shell.
