Overview

Wander through Tangier’s maze of whitewashed lanes, where the edge of Africa meets Southern Europe. For generations, this coastal city has been a muse for artists, writers, and wanderers alike from Matisse and Yves Saint Laurent to the Rolling Stones, all captivated by its cafés and cuisine.

Embark on a four-hour culinary journey through the Grand Socco and deep into the medina. Sample fresh oysters at the Marché Central de Poisson, scoop up Berber mountain cheese with Moroccan honey and almond-rich amlou, tear into warm khobz bread, and savour slow-cooked beans prepared overnight in a centuries-old communal oven. Watch hand-crafted delicate wacqa pastry being made, nibble on nutty Arabic pastries and sip on spiced, house-roasted coffee among much more.

With 15+ tastings across Tangier’s most iconic spots, this is the city’s most generous food experience, a feast of flavours and stories fit for the Rolling Stones.

Tangier
3h 30m

Tangier has always existed slightly out of reach. A city balanced between Africa and Europe. For more than a century it has attracted artists, writers, musicians, and outsiders. But beyond the mythology and famous names lies Tangier’s truest expression, it's food.

This four-hour evening walk traces the city as it is lived, beginning at the Grand Socco before slipping into the whitewashed lanes of the medina. Along the way, the flavours unfold. Fresh oysters are shucked at the Marché Central de Poisson. Warm khobz is torn and dipped into creamy jben Berber cheese, sweetened with mountain honey and rich amlou. Fava beans, cooked overnight with beef in a communal oven, are impossibly rich and satisfying. Sheets of delicate warqa pastry are shaped by hand, while house-roasted coffee, spiced and aromatic, is poured alongside traditional Moroccan pastries.

With more than 15 tastings, the experience is designed as a crash course in this coastal city's culinary scene.
