Vegan in Marrakech: How to Eat Plant-Based & Stress-Free in Morocco

đŸ„‘ Vegan in Marrakech: How to Eat Plant-Based & Stress-Free in Marrakech

Traveling as a vegan can be tricky — especially in a country famous for tagines, lamb dishes, and couscous with meat broth. But good news: Marrakech is becoming more vegan-friendly, and with a little help, you can eat deliciously and worry-free.

Here’s how to enjoy vegan food in Marrakech while staying true to your values.

🌿 1. Yes, Vegan Food Exists in Marrakech!

While traditional Moroccan food is meat-heavy, you’ll be surprised how many dishes can be made vegan on request:

  • Vegetable tagine (just ask for no butter or meat broth)

  • Zaalouk (eggplant + tomato dip)

  • Taktouka (green pepper & tomato salad)

  • Harira (ask for meat-free, lentil-based version)

  • Freshly baked Moroccan bread (khobz)

  • Olives, dates, almonds, and fruit juices everywhere!

There are also modern spots in the medina and Gueliz offering 100% plant-based menus, smoothies, vegan pastries, and more.

đŸ“± 2. Language Can Be a Challenge

Many local menus aren’t in English, and asking for vegan options in Arabic can be intimidating. Sometimes “vegetarian” still includes egg or chicken broth, so clear communication is key.
