TANGIER RESTAURANTSIn Tangier you have 3 options: Cheap places around the Petit Socco, more upmarket or fast food chains in the New Town, or tourist places at the Seafront. The most popular dishes are the fish dishes, the Tajines and the CousCous.
THE MOST TYPICAL DISHES1. HARIRA A soup of peas. A litle spicy and very strong. 2. TAJINES A lovely stew, that depending on the cook and the recipe, can be anything from fast food to Nouvelle Cuisine. It can be with chicken, lamb or other meats, that are steamed together with vegetables. A tajine that many people like is a tajine with chicken, onion and raisin 3. COUSCOUS A really heavy meal that consists in boiled/ steamed vegetables and meat with semolina. If made with raisons or rabit in prunes, it is a meal you will not likely forget. 4. BROUCHETTES You'll see people eating Brouchettes on the streets all over Tangiers. They're basically kebabs with various kinds of steak or swordfish along with a wide array of other ingredients. 5. PASTILLA This dish is made of pigeon meat, rice and egg and covered in a sweet filo pastry. Strange as it may sound, it's tasty and very filling.

NICE PLACESSaveurs de poisonsOr "the tasters of fish"... THE place for fish dishes. A restaurant you will pass by anyhow, as it is located right on that corner between the New Town and the Petit Socco. Right at the top of the steps that divide the New Town and the Medina, near Hotel El Minzah. The chef is a character. He will tell you what you will eat, and will show you herbs and oils good for everything. SafariAnother and more budget place you will simply not miss. It is just around the corner, when you want to start walking uphill from the Ferry Port to the Medina... at 1 minute from the Port. For everyone's budget, and always safe and clean. The restaurant right next door serves great couscous!
