The local specialty is baissara, but you'll also find the usual staples such as tajine vegetable stew with goat or sheep, harira tomato soup, kofte meatballs and tagras fish. The Salada Marroqui is a salad of cucumber and tomatoes, while salada variada includes eggs. The region is also well known for olives and olive oil, and for goat cheese, which is sold on display in various shops.
If eating in the medina, avoid restaurants on the Kasbah square plaza Uta el Hamman offering tourist menus for 45 dh drinks not included: they will just serve you very low-quality kofte and harira, for a more than average price.
