Marrakech is a city bursting with vibrant colors, aromas, and flavors. if you’re looking for an authentic moroccan culinary experience, les jardins de la médina offers a unique sensory journey through carefully prepared traditional dishes. Here, each dish is a work of art, combining quality ingredients with the age-old heritage of our cuisine.
The seafood couscous: a must-try favorite
Couscous is arguably morocco’s most iconic dish, but at les jardins de la médina, we reinvent it with a maritime twist. our seafood couscous, highly appreciated by our guests, combines the flavors of the sea with the sweetness of vegetables, all served on a bed of delicately seasoned couscous. fresh fish, selected daily from trusted suppliers, guarantees a dish that showcases the freshness and richness of morocco’s coastal regions.
“A couscous that transports your taste buds to the flavors of the ocean.”
Tangia: « The daughter of ashes »
This traditional dish is one of marrakech’s specialties. It is known for being specially prepared by men in clay jars, slow-cooked in the ashes of public ovens. Tangia is a flavorful meat dish, slowly cooked to perfection. It embodies the art of patience and moroccan craftsmanship. At les jardins de la médina, tangia is prepared with as much love and attention, offering an immersion into this age-old tradition.
A journey into the past, where each bite recalls the warmth of the souks and the generosity of marrakech’s people.
Rfissa: A dish of strength and comfort
Rfissa is another cornerstone of moroccan gastronomy, often served at significant occasions or after childbirth. traditionally offered to new mothers to help them regain their strength, rfissa is made with chicken, lentils, and fine crepes called msemen, infused with « ras el hanout», saffron, and ginger. it’s a true symbol of generosity, sharing, and rejuvenation.
Rfissa, also known as trid, originated centuries ago as an arab dish. it’s fascinating to see that this meal of warriors and travelers is now used to restore strength to new mothers after childbirth.
