Timetable au Maroc
Most restaurants are open from 12:00 to 3:00 and from 7:00 to 11:00 midnight. Some of them even serve throughout the day, others only in the evening. In tourist areas, restaurants are generally open every day. Elsewhere, they take one rest day a week, usually Sunday or Monday.
Budget & Tips au Maroc
On average, count between 10 and 15 € for a full meal. You will also find a few unpretentious local addresses where you can eat copious Moroccan specialities on the go. Be careful, however, about the reputation of the address so as not to fall ill. In the big cities, a few restaurants stand out from the crowd with their top-class gastronomy. The prices are a little higher, between 40 and 60 € for a full meal, but the quality will be there.
What costs extra au Maroc
The service is generally smiling and generous, so leave a small tip of about 10% of the bill!
The local way au Maroc
The generosity of the Moroccans is well established, and to thank you for your visit, you will usually be offered a mint tea at the end of your meal.
To be avoided au Maroc
As in all Muslim countries, it is frowned upon to eat with the left hand, even with a spoon. Left-handed people should be careful to eat with their right hand, especially if they are in the company of Moroccans. Also, avoid drinks served with ice cubes, which may upset your stomach.
Kids au Maroc
Some restaurants offer children's menus, including a main course and a dessert. Sometimes a drink is also included.
Smokers au Maroc
Smoking is not permitted in the restaurants. However, you will be able to consume your cigarette on the terrace.
Tourist traps au Maroc
As everywhere, tourist areas hide some unpleasant surprises. Beware of the rabble-rousers near restaurants and if possible, find out about the establishment beforehand.
Take a break au Maroc

Bars and cafés are generally open all day, from 8 or 9 am until 5 or 10 pm. People come there to start the day with a breakfast of flaky pancakes, tea or coffee and orange juice. They are also very popular with Moroccan families for snacks. The atmosphere can therefore be noisy.
