Another thing that this trip brought to my attention was snacks, or more precisely what constitutes a good & yummy snack. I never really thought about the structure of a snack. For me a snack was a piece fruit, a handful of nuts, or a protein bar.

From couscous, to tagines, mint tea and olives, loads of olives. Oh! And orange juice of course! Typical Moroccan food is slightly spicy but not necessarily hot. We had a delicious lunch in Le Jardim, a beautiful restaurant, where Brazil meets Morocco; we had a scrumptious diner at Nomad, where simplicity and busyness cohabit in the most casual way. For a killer view, go either to Café des Épices which is a great place for a quick snack with a view over the spice souk and the Atlas mountains or to Zwin Zwin cafe with a much quieter atmosphere.
Favourite souk: the Kchachbia, where you find wooden objects and woven baskets and stools. I loved shopping at Atelier Moro, also in the medina. As for a visit, I would say not to miss the iconic Majorelle Gardens and the beautiful Palais de la Bahia. You can also make a pit stop in the Menara Gardens on your way to the airport, before you leave.
