The culinary journey begins with the Marrakchi Harira, a spiced, bold and aromatic herbal broth traditionally enjoyed to break the fast during Ramadan. Infused with North African herbs and spices, it is served with aged Smen butter and sweet Medjool dates for a perfect balance of richness and sweetness. The classic Moroccan Homemade Mixed Salad showcases a vibrant medley of seasonal vegetables—carrots, eggplants, zucchinis, tomatoes, and pumpkins—delicately seasoned with traditional herbs and spices to highlight their natural flavours. Savour the Free-Range Chicken Pastilla, a quintessential Moroccan pie filled with tender chicken, toasted almonds, gum Arabic, and fragrant pure saffron, all encased in delicate pastry baked to golden, crisp perfection. The Authentic Moroccan Couscous offers a choice of tender veal, fresh seafood, or seasonal vegetables, accompanied by spiced broth and classic garnishes that embody the heart of Moroccan cuisine.
For a sweet and savoury harmony, the Veal Tagine with Dried Fruits features slow-cooked veal enriched with apricots, prunes, saffron, and toasted almonds. The Fish Tagine, with hake infused in a traditional chermoula marinade, saffron, and mixed vegetables, delivers layers of delicate, fragrant flavours. To complete the feast, the Milk Pastilla—also known as Jawhara—presents crisp layers of thin pastry combined with light milk cream and a hint of orange blossom. Fresh Oranges with Cinnamon dressed in aromatic anise juice provide a refreshing note, while the Ghriba and Fekkas, classic Moroccan cookies and biscuits, served with Mint Tea, offer a fitting close to this unforgettable culinary experience.
