Can I request meals at the riad?

Yes! Many riads offer dinners by reservation, often as table d'hôte. It's an excellent way to taste authentic homemade Moroccan cuisine in the intimate setting of your riad, without having to go out in the evening into the busy medina streets.

The table d'hôte concept consists of a fixed typically Moroccan menu prepared by the riad's chef: starter (varied Moroccan salads), main course (tajine, couscous, pastilla depending on the day) and dessert (pastries, fruit). Rates generally vary between €15 and €30 per person depending on the riad's standing and menu elaboration.

It's important to book your dinner in advance, ideally the same morning or the day before, as riads prepare fresh dishes for a precise number of guests. Some riads also offer lunches on request, and many can accommodate specific diets (vegetarian, gluten-free) if you notify them in advance.

This gastronomic experience in your riad is often a highlight of the stay: authentic cuisine, magnificent setting with dinner in the patio or on the terrace, and friendly atmosphere. It's also an excellent option for your first and last evenings, when you're tired from traveling.
