Morocco Planning Guides
Tangier Food Guide
Mint tea, pastries and market flavours inside a walkable Medina.
You can eat well without leaving the Medina hinterland. Markets, bakeries and terrace cafés sit close enough to protect a cruise return buffer.
Build mint tea into your Medina loop rather than treating food as an afterthought.
A guided tasting walk helps if you want curated stops; otherwise independent café hopping works well.
Mention dietary requirements early if joining a tasting tour.
