Laiterie Ghita

Marrakesh


This spick-and-span neighbourhood counter cafe is where riad workers come for quick lunches of batbout (cheese and egg sandwich), fragrant mint tea and fresh juices. Come between 5.30pm and 9pm, when a lady sets up a hotplate stand for delicious, greasy mlawi (flaky flatbread) stuffed with khlea (spiced, cured strips of beef) and drizzled with smen (fermented butter): the ultimate Moroccan street snack.
