Hi Jason! I've never been to Morocco to give you any valued advice, tho, here is a info link courtesy of Wiki!

(If you scroll down you will find the "Eat" section & they recommend you to dine at the Foodcourt Stalls as well!  )

When I read you were visiting Morocco, I instantly thought of a Forum Member; the lovely late GeoffP (thinking of you too, Geoff, like Mada & Maree & All!) - I did a search & it was Cairo in Egypt that he travelled to, so, I had to google so I didn't get my "wires crossed"! 

Enjoy your holiday in Marrakech, Jason! And, please let us know how your fabulous trip/experience in Africa went - when time permits, thank you!

Cheers; Kris 

Hi JAW,

We set up a pop up restaurant in Marrakech last year. The food in Marrakech is amazing! so many amazing spices... the markets are incredible there, you will love it!

some of the best food there isnt in restaurants or cafes, it is found tucked away in little side streets near the market in the anchient part of the city (Medina)

We ate a brilliant meal in a Riad near the city centre I will post the adress so that you can check it out when you get there mate.

Riad Amira Victoria 
12 derb el Baroud - Hart soura - Bab Kechich - Medina, Marrakesh, Morocco

Another brilliant place that I found was


Pepe Nero Restaurantmore
Douar Graoua
Marrakesh, Morocco

Let me know how you get on mate, all the best!

Welcome to J.O.'s Foliemarrie, yes I like couscous, too! The cafe I worked in last year made it quite regularly for lunch! 

Kye! Tagines? I will have to google! 
{I googled! Mmmm! A tagine is a slow-cooked stew, sounds devine , Kye - thanks, I learnt something new! ....courtesy of Wiki once again! ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajine  ...}
