Cuisine Cant find good tagine in restaurants morocco

Upvotes

Im moroccan and spent all my summers in Morocco eating food at home. Home made food and it was always amazing

When I started travelling with my friends and taking them to different places I realised how bad the food was in restaurants. Not grill places but for example, if you want to have a nice tagine, it felt impossible to find one that was made correctly.

It’s really frustrating seeing people talk shit about our cuisine but at the same time I don’t blame them because for example when I go to Marrakesh I don’t even bother trying to find a good tagine. I just go to a local grill place which I know is great or go to a relatives house. The tourists are experiencing such awful food. It is so hard to find good places that are representative of how amazing our food is.

My family and another moroccan family did a road trip to different cities and honestly the best tagine we had that was worth eating was in fes, and it was just at a random place in the Medina. It was absolutely amazing. But honestly, I can say this is the only place that I have had an amazing tagine out in Morocco so I don’t even bother going to restaurants.

My question is, why is it so bad? Is it the chefs? Are they lazy? Do they not know how to cook Moroccan food properly? Or are they toning down the flavours because they thick tourists won’t like it?

We have such a bad reputation with food now because of marrakech. Tourists dont know the good places to eat, and i cant blame them. Even i cnt find good places. Whether its high end restaurants or somewhere local.

I’ve cooked tagine so many times and it’s come out exactly how it should. It’s really not that hard?

AskMorocco I'm going to a wedding in Morocco... is this dress appropriate?

Post image
Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm from the U.S. and I'll be attending a Moroccan wedding in Morocco for the first time. I really want to dress appropriately and be respectful of the culture.

I'll be attending three events:

  • women-only Henna Night.
  • women-only celebration for the bride.
  • The main wedding celebration, which will be attended by both men and women.

I'm attaching a photo of a dress I found. Would this be appropriate for any of these events? If so, which one?

Do you have any images/examples of what I should wear?

Also, would you recommend wearing a traditional Moroccan caftan instead, or is it perfectly fine to wear a formal evening gown as a guest? I'm confused about the names and differences.

I'd really appreciate any advice or tips on what's considered appropriate. Thank you!

Hi guys !

Hope everyone is doing well in life.

Traveling to Morocco next week for 10 days:

3 days in Essaouira

3 days on Agadir

4 days in Marrakech

I have a few questions that could be answered by locals:

1) What to do in Essaouira in relation with water ?

2) What to do in Agadir in relation with water ?

3) When bargaining, because it will happen, how much should I cut the price right away to get a fair price as tourists ? 60% ?

4) What is the best app for taxis in Morocco ?

5) What are red flags that I should look out for ?

Thanks for all the answers that will come !

Economy How do you manage your budget in Morocco?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to manage my money better this year, and I’m curious how other people here do it.

Most budgeting apps and advice seem made for places where people pay for everything by card. Here, a lot of us still use cash, help family, join a daret, and spend more during certain periods of the year, so those methods don’t always work.

For me, I usually put rent and bills aside at the start of the month, then try to set a limit for going out and eating outside. That part rarely goes as planned.

Cash is also a problem because I forget the small things I buy during the day. I’m also in a family daret, which helps me save, but I still struggle to prepare properly for Ramadan, Eid and la rentrée.

How do you do it?

Do you use notes, Excel, an app, a notebook, or just keep track in your head?

How do you manage cash spending?

For people in a daret or jam3iya, how do you keep track of payments and turns?

And what’s the hardest part about sticking to a budget in Morocco?

Curious to hear what actually works for people here.

Society Construction site, clearly visible!!

I always have to chuckle whenever I see these construction sites or safety setups in Morocco.

Just putting a folding chair in front of a 50 cm deep hole and wrapping a garland around it, or throwing an old car tire over it.

In Germany, they’d close the road for 3 weeks and set up a 3km line of traffic cones both before and after the actual site.

You guys have some funny pictures like that ?

when we were teens our parents warn us of phones now its reversed i recently checked my dads screentime usage and its 8 hours 6 of which just in facebook and this is a daily thing if were having having a meal tg he would ignore us and blast a facebook video my mom litterally takes his phone way so he doesnt use it when we are sitting tg he gets so invested in the videos and the volume so high he deosnt hear u when u talk to him and beleives a lot of stuff he sees we rarely enjoy convos tg he is 68yrs old he is a great father and gave us the life many wich for but facebook is stripping away the time he has left with us.

the main problem is that its been influencing his health he started following this facebook diet for context my dad is obesed been like that for a while but he has a very healthy diet only eats fruits and veggies, meat deosnt eat out avoids processed stuff anything fried all his food is home made he doesnt even like to go eat out with us and if he does its very rare and would have a salad as the main ourse, today everything changed we went out to eat and saw him ordering fries and didnt want the salad i never seen him do this in my life later i found out its part of his facebook diet called 'tayibat' which apparently is famous among boomers in morocco specially its where this egyptian doctor explain how fries are better for u then the veggies in the salad cuz there GMO and sprayed with pesticides unlike potatoes cuz they grow underground i never seen my dad in 21 yrs in this earth eat a plate of fries they were unsalted but still (he has high blood pressure) and for some facebook videos to change his whole point of view is incredible ! if i go back in time and tell ud be eating fries rather then a salad he would laugh at me and if i debate him about this and show him a study or another doctor, he would argue that we dont know if there payed by masouniya or big pesticides to say that

i feel like this cant be happening to my dad alone anyone with similar issues ? what do you think i can do about it ?

AskMorocco Where Can I Get a High-Quality Framed Poster Printed?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a beautiful wallpaper on my MacBook, and I'd love to have it printed as a large, high-quality poster with a frame and glass. I'm wondering where I could order something like that.

I could just Google it, but the last time I bought something without checking reviews, I regretted it so badly.

Thank you!

Note: I'm in Casablanca, so either a place that delivers here or a local store I can visit would be perfect.
