Restaurant Etiquette & Practical Tips

Reservations are worth making for popular spots, especially for dinner — some of the best-known restaurants in both cities book out days or weeks ahead. Not every restaurant serves alcohol; if that matters to your evening, it’s worth checking ahead (see our Morocco alcohol guide). Around Friday midday prayer time, some traditional restaurants may have slightly different hours.

Tipping is customary at sit-down restaurants — see our tipping guide for general guidance. Dress is generally relaxed at casual spots, but a bit more modest/smart at upscale or traditional restaurants.
