7 editor picks in Marrakech.
Street food in Marrakech is anchored by Jemaa el-Fna, the great square that fills each evening with smoke and lamplit stalls cooking to order. The Jemaa el-Fna stalls run the full repertoire: snails simmered in spiced broth, harira soup, boulfaf liver brochettes and grilled meats, with daytime orange-juice carts lining the perimeter. Beyond the square, the Msemen Counters along Avenue Allal el-Fassi in Bab Doukkala fold layered flatbread on the griddle from morning.
